the right idea for today

So, what dishes do y'all eat for the New Year to bring about luck, prosperity, blessing, etc.? Is it just something customary to eat, or do you involve them in offerings or rituals?

at the Sheetz in my bathrobe at 9pm on new year's eve because I want a spicy chicken sandwich, this is the blessing of being an adult

Happy New Year as it washes across the Earth! May the New Year take out all the hurt, all the grief, and all the bitterness of 2025, and instead bring every good thing, all good things, and only good things in 2026! And don't forget to say "rabbit rabbit" first thing upon waking up, as ever. 😉

Who needs AI I have this

bono made me personally late for an exam in college by keeping me for security reasons from crossing a back neighborhood street on the way from my apartment

The outside changes its seasons however it will. For me, inside my own home, the seasons change based on what art scrolls I have hanging up and what scented candles I use around the house.

You should make a fatal mistake. Spiritual growth comes from arguing in YouTube comments.

What else should one do on the longest (and still basically darkest) night, but light candles to fill the dark with brilliance? Happy Chanukah, happy First Sighting of the Moon, happy Capricorn, and happy Winter. May we all find blessing to overcome all obstacles in our lives and the world.

Darkest night and longest night. <3

All I want for Christmas is the collapse of the AI bubble.

Last day in the office for the week, one more day to work from home, then peace. The dark of the year is upon us in the northern hemisphere, and it's such a beautiful time. 🌌🌠💖

Pomander day! Seven down, nine to go, then to dress them up in ribbons and make the house smell wonderful for the season.

*gets out the ancestral Pat Carroll "A Story of Hanukkah" cassette recording to listen to nonstop for the next eight days*

I don't need AI to speak to my dead grandmother: Ouija boards, pendulums, EVP machines, automatic writing, mediumship, tarot cards, dream visions, and Spirit Boxes already exist, are cheaper than AI, and are less harmful to the environment.

For the first time since I was a child, I have decorated a tree.

No! Year-round DST has failed several times. It increases accidents and depression. Morning is when sunlight is biologically needed most. Permanent Standard Time is best for health, safety, and prosperity.

christmas carol opinion time: if you're not singing Veni Veni Emmanuel like it's your last sunset on death row, exhausted from crying to the point where you've got nothing left but raw hope in sheer desperate desolation, you don't have the vibe right viz. www.youtube.com/watch?v=knJD...

My phone generated a photo album called like "loving memories" with a photo of me and my partner at dinner as the cover, and when I opened it it was just various pizzas I've eaten over the last few years with sentimental music.

Every year, as turkey feast day approaches, I am reminded of someone I heard about who wanted to throw a frozen turkey out of a moving car window at a random intersection, rather than offering a rooster at a crossroads as per the lwas' demand.

This is going to be such a great friend. Ordered, and by Order I mean XEPER. As a solo wyrdling, this will be a magnificent tool.

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

I'm doing the thing again where I keep buying more of something at the grocery store forgetting I already have enough at home This time it's kabocha squash

I got sufficient sleep last night, I did my morning routine, and I even got a (much needed) shower in just now, so I'm feeling fresh and presh for the upcoming day.

On this day of Mars, have a bit of my musing about this malefic and why I think Mars is as beautiful and necessary as anything and everything else among the planets, and why we shouldn't fear working with or including Mars in our lives, come what may. digitalambler.com/2020/06/27/t...

I've installed malware on my computer before, but I was, like, 12. Why should I trust a program with the reasoning of a 12-year old again? And why should anyone be pushing an "artificial intelligence" WITH the reasoning of a 12-year old?

"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'" bro what-- what are we doing here, exactly, how can you--anyone be okay with this?

I think that's an extremely fair and nuanced middle ground, a compromise position that is practical, because the ideal situation is to never have utilized AI slop in the first place, but you still have the opportunity to remove it. There's your moment of grace, don't abuse it.

If your game has been using AI assets in production, remove them, hire artists or voice actors or composers to replace the slop, it's not too late to course correct, just get rid of it before release, excise the slop. And that's the compromise position, because people still might not trust you.

I care that the art I engage with is made by humans, regardless of how "good" the tech may become, that is the underlying contention, that is important to me and cannot be bargained away. I'm sick of hearing about compromise this and middle ground that, do you want to hear my compromise? Remove it.

I am constantly aggravated by this tech, it is foisting so much extra work on me, because throughout the last couple of years, the sheer amount of games using generative AI that are flooding my inbox, many that DO NOT DISCLOSE THIS, is forcing me to scrutinize everything that ends up in my inbox.

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

well, I've already made my own SVG of the Megaloschema, I suppose making my own SVG of a Shiviti was just a matter of time and because my ancient private copy of Adobe Illustrator CS6 doesn't have RTL text support, I guess this is as good a reason as any to learn how to actually use Inkscape

A while back, I worked on a translation and analysis of a fascinating kind of divination, the Telescope of Zoroaster, from an obscure French book from 1796. Here's the recap post, with an index of all earlier 16 posts in the series: digitalambler.com/2022/06/17/u... Take a look! It's a fun trip.

The post series is just my analysis and commentary on it, but if you'd like my English translation of the text, it's available on my Etsy and Ko-fi for just US$10! digitalambler.com/2022/04/20/n...
