Keep thinking about this Austin Walker post that now lives in my brain. It's a reply to people saying genAI can help creators 'develop concepts' and waste less time on research (x)

i think every publisher should have to institute a ban on books that fail what i’m calling the “little life” and “what else?” tests

“Okay that makes sense”

Now explain it to a Japanese samurai from the year 1218

"do you know how waterwheels grind up grain in a water mill using the force of running water? We found a way to create a huge source of force that runs all the time and can transfer its force over long distance. I can tell you in more detail, but that's the basics. Now that is a chime that has a mechanism that one can press instead of having to open the door to let you know that you are waiting to be let in. It requires the transferred force to make the mechanism work and that wire is how we transfer the force to the chime."

i love these sort of posts because they feel like a vision of a kinder and more thoughtful world that I wish more than anything was the mainstream instead of the exception

cuunos

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

Hanging out with people will make you remember you're the crazy woke friend for like. not wanting to shop at shien

i'm thinking about charlotte brontë spending her last years editing and publishing her sisters' writings and about christopher tolkien dedicating his life to the protection and meticulous reconstruction his father's life's work and about johanna van gogh publishing the letters between vincent and theo that would propel vincent van gogh into fame because she knew how much her husband had loved his brother, and about how so often art isn't just a reflection of the artist's mind and skills but a testament to the fact that they were loved

I like when delivery people ask you to sign their tiny shitty screen with your finger like alright sure we can do some free drawing I guess. Some random strokes that evoke the essence of a signature. Looking me dead in the eyes while I play fruit ninja on this blank screen. Why not.

beggars-opera

Your hometown has “culture,” but does it have a 13 foot, bright orange, bug-eyed t-rex with weirdly human teeth

beggars-opera

We are not the same

vinceaddams

Oh yeah? Well my hometown has this fine late Victorian lad.

An allegedly real not at all shitty fake frog taxidermy that tourists pay real money to look at.

jenthebug

My hometown has this massive Paul Bunyan statue on top of a Cafe.

coveredincoffee

I see your Paul Bunyan and raise you The Big Chicken.

chicagoeggwhisperer

I see your large poultry and raise you Communist Cookie Monster mural.

This guy was at the center of a citywide mystery that tore neighborhoods apart in bitter rivalries and led dozens of people to write an anonymous con artist on the mayoral ballot.

utah-mountain-drifter-deactivat

You’re right. My home town had none I’d these. Just a funky lookin clock.

goat-yells-at-everything

We have a drunken pink elephant with glasses.

And The Lauterbach Man (he used to hold a tire but it was replaced after 9/11. he also lost his head during a huge tornado about 10-ish years ago)

A large metallic Buck made of bumpers from cars that were totaled when they hit a big normal Buck.

Creepy Abe Lincoln at the State Fairgrounds

And the Corndog Couple.

Oh! And the auto parts store that has metal men ready to defend their property. Pretty sure they come alive at night.
