Nou, gaat weer lekker, zie ik.

Garden greens (Don’t ask me about my turnips)

Huh?

But then something happened…

the republican party is not a political organization in any meaningful sense as much as it is a nihilistic death cult

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Finally got to watch the last episodes of Andor and I haven’t been so fully captivated and tensed up watching the ending of a show since The Americans.

The absence of Nicholas Britell in season two of Andor is most acutely felt in the lack of accordeons for any of the Ghorman score.

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

"The moneylenders, the knownothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as possible." –The Language of the Night, 1979, Ursula K Le Guin.

I've been having some fun lately drawing all the characters from the Hobbit.

I’m rereading Lord of the Rings and have been enjoying making some drawings of various characters (mostly while I’m at work at the library). Question is, who else should I draw?

everything means the opposite for these people. freedom means your freedom to obey. the first amendment means their freedom to tell you what you can read and think.

En banc Fifth Circuit overrules decades of precedent and holds that there is no First Amendment right to receive information in a public library.

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.

I’m assuming this is the computer responsible for it

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
