Don’t talk to me, I’m mourning the electric train network

At a bafflingly good high school production of The Sound of Music today, I thought a lot about the power of music, of resistance, and of maintaining one’s values in the face of authoritarian power. Not sure there’s any modern relevance there, though

The Artemis missioun doth show that the thinges that are trulye the most astoundinge yn thys worlde, the thinges that will echo on thrugh historye, are not technologye, howevir marvelous, but common human braverye, wondir, and love. These will be the themes when thys storye ys tolde for centuryes.

Here's a story about Disney, AI, & The Muppets. We love to see The Muppets being promoted right at the top of Disney+. Disney using their immense promotional power to push the Muppets is exactly what we want. But wait... zoom in... is that is a gloveless Miss Piggy?

this is what all those Mormon wives look like to me

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"
