Oh no, there’s a faint smell of dead mouse in my studio.

I made an automated hyper-normaliser. It produces some uncannily familiar vibes. mildlydiverting.github.io/are.na-toolk... Vibe coding means I can finally build browser toys myself! Years of discussing specs, bugs and ideas with developers is good training data for this human.

On Bob Dylan's birthday, a thread about the story behind the remarkable photo below: Dylan driving away from Andy Warhol's Factory with one of Warhol's Silver Elvis paintings—a painting now worth millions of dollars—on the roof of his car

Oooooh I just found a very old screenshot of the wonderful text adventure BEARS thread between @ethanmarcotte.com and @wil.to. It remains one of my favourite internet things.
