Amazing thread, will live in my head a while and brighten more than one day of doomscrolling. Man goes from a basic (but significant) ability to sketch what his eye sees to epic watercolorist in like a year of thoughtful practice.

Quit my job and am spending the rest of the week with my chihuahua, a chalice that would make Jah weep (a ceramic coffee mug in the shape of a stack of donuts, the handle of which is a weed pipe), and the Assassins Creed game where you run around as a fully clothed woman mass-murdering fascists.

Stop making fun of my tactical gear. My tactic is to be extremely wet at all times so my smell strikes fear into workers miles away, even if they only understand Spanish or correct English.

Fun facts: the search engine was invented around 250 BC by the poet Callimachus for the library of Alexandria. It’s called the Pinakes, is half bibliography and half encyclopedia.

Wife: oh hey you are back early from your fishing trip how did it go? Me: octopus have gone woke Wife: what? Me (reappearing from boat house with shotgun) Octopus have gone woke.

Someone’s going to make a few billion dollars inventing an AI that can identify and filter AI-generated content (universities and social media companies will go bananas), and this will likely be the one that develops self-awareness and an urge to kill.

So the deadly space junk Musk is raining down on populated areas every day is supposed to stay in the sky for 15 days before it lands on your house. In reality, they’re only making it 5 days (654 Katy Perrys) before targeting you.

The Mountaintop is v good. Studios constantly trying to assemble A-Teams to awful results, but this one they pulled-off. Steve Carrell continues to pay more than his share of privileged-white-guy reparations. Remi Malek, Jason Schwartzman and writers also pulling weight for streaming subscriptions.

Modern fantasy artists are collectively wrong about manticores having lion faces and horns, idk where they got that, ancient art is pretty clear they have fucked-up but hornless human heads.

Reality show like the cake thing where you have to guess whether the Cybertruck owner did the graffiti themselves.

Perhaps I’m overly sensitive about poor support for trans people, but elder feminist meme-makers just basically continuing to assert that women belong everywhere (eg in the Supreme Court) feels regressive to me too. The Federalist Society agrees with you?

This is the point where I feel like doing 5 hours of Julia Child shit was 100% worth it, but my partner feels the opposite.

Ironic how aggressively white supremacists are erasing Norse heritage culture / making even the most literally cartoonish version of it anti-social. Your great-grandkids could be tattooing that too, but noooo, you had to infect it with terminal loser energy.

As I try to pass-out, I like to world-build on my personal imagined sci-fi planet, and I’ve been frustrated that those conscious games don’t continue into dreams. Just occurred to me how horrific and possibly illegal it would be if all the folks who like to fall asleep watching TV dreamed IP.
