The stupidist timeline

Does anyone know how RT works? I saw a meme and thought it must be fake news. But no. MELANIA has a 99% rating. So, curious, I clicked to see these 500+ critics who are all saying how great it is. But the vast majority of them are negative.

I keep imagining what it must be like to be living at this point in history, and not just being content with the state of America, but actually thinking things are looking up! I guess for those old enough to remember the whole Obama era, this same crowd felt similar then, to how I feel now.

It's getting more and more tempting.

This is a comic from Haunted Safari, which I cannot find a page for. So here's a link to the book. www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Maybe they'll find the Epstein files in the Fulton County Board of Elections office . . .

I had forgotten how accurate Calvin & Hobbes is

As usual, "my best" is pretty terrible. But here's my best attempt to explain a thing to people who probably won't read it. You're welcome, world! joshuaforeman.substack.com/p/why-are-pe...

So many executives doing the equivalent with their company.

My new favorite writer on AI. Just a totally different perspective on the technology. Not a rejection of it, but a total re-appraisal and approach. I'm halfway through her book and it's fantastic. open.substack.com/pub/abiawomo...

Damn it's hard to mentally focus on creation and art when your country is being consumed by evil and half the people you know deny it, don't care, or actively cheer it on. But in the words of the Expeditioners, "We continue". On today's stream, finalizing logo composition www.twitch.tv/josh_foreman

careful out there, frands

Nothing feels as good as vindication

They're giving He-Man pronouns...

This is real life.

I guess it is what it is

This is cool and all. But I do often wonder if laws matter at all any more.

Digital sculptures of people in my Tales From Talifar series called rumsha. They mostly focus on digging and carving and mining, but their warrior cast keeps them free to do so. Among the rumsha, jokes are a form of social cohesion and worship. So they give their weapons funny faces.

Interesting phenomenon. Dunning Kruger as a proxy for genAI application. Probably why tech bros think it can do everything except whatever it is they do.

The clouds are low resolution today. Feel like in Ocarina Of Time.

took me a minute... but worth decoding.

This is like saying your factory that dumps pollutants in the river is sustainable because you're not paying for proper disposal fees. The externality that huge/prestige studios don't have to account for is that they will always draw top talent, then burn them out, depriving smaller studios.

My guess is that in my locale it's about 40% Irked, 40% Patronizer (though usually unspoken) and the rest is a mix.

"Welcome to the Conspiracy Warehouse, where we have hundreds of new and used conspiracies to choose from. What can I interest you in today?" .... "ALL OF THEM"

@grok is this how this works?

"So how're you doin' lately?" Me: "Oh, you know..."

I've got a lot of high-risk family. This is sadly so familiar. On the plus side, we've been masking in public (well-fitted N-95) since 2020, require family who visit/stay with us to do the same for 2 weeks prior, and have not been sick once since then.

This is why the US has not, at all, acknowledged covid as a mass death event, and part of why it refuses to acknowledge it is also an ongoing mass disabling event (with millions more grieving for the futures it made impossible to them)

LOOT DROP! Ryan finally got back from his two Demon Hunter tours and gave me a bunch of merch with the art I did for the album. I know have this album on digital, vinyl, CD and tape.

The worldview in which I was raised omitted the green circle here. Or, if it existed at all, it was incredibly small or marginal to the core thesis. I found that really looking into the very big and diverse ocean of thought contained in that circle put me increasingly at odds with my old worldview.
