Did You Know: The Elder Scrolls are a series of fantasy games, allowing you to experience things that you may never in reality?

while I do acknowledge data centers are putting strain on a lot of very vulnerable communities it's also important to note that this too is a product of finance capital planning for infinite growth and disregarding safety to do so. AI itself can be run economically (in terms of power) and that much has been demonstrated repeatedly but it's not, because like every other industry, it's being controlled by and for capital, competitively, with wanton waste and destruction as a result. the harm is not stored in the math, nor even data centers themselves, nor queries, it's entirely preventable, and that's worse

that one's very funny to me because it's basically what my upcoming chapter is about

Success is one person’s life being better because of what we do, shared Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of medical device and technology company Theranos. “Now it’s about doing it again and again for more and more people.“  Read more insights on Twitter from her Stanford GSB View From The Top talk: stanford.io/1qEOogA #GSBvftt

I wanna start a new health movement where the focus of your diet is eating the correct distribution of colors, and i know theres a little truth to that, but mines not gonna be about vitamins, its about keeping the correct color balance in your nervous system or something. So like spinach and mountain dew have the same nutritional value cuz theyre both green. Rare colors are especially prized, so something like edible gold leaf or baja blast are considered suuuper nutritious

Both joe rogan and emma chamberlain eill have me on their podcasts within the next 6 months. In a year ill have my own smoothie at erewhon

its wild the degree to which people talk about reading and eating in similar terms - the concept of a "reading diet", of "media consumption", the idea of certain stories as "empty calories" or "fast food" and some as "eating your vegetables", the moralization of both as personal failings, the framing of health with the specter of degeneration if not complied with... the idea that there are things that are sensorily pleasant and that you find yourself craving, and there are things that sustain you, and those are not the same things. the framing of literacy as reading the correct way and taking away the correct meaning from a text. according to nutritional guidelines

[cleaningouttherooms]

@fractalradio you are so right for bringing up 'slop'

[toast1862]

the thing about "maybe the curtains were just blue" is that the author controls every word put into the story, and if they put a little detail like that in and didn't intend it to add to character or atmosphere or symbolism or anything whatsoever, it probably should have been cut. you dont need that

[toast1862]

im so bad at names. like not just remembering peoples names, i mean naming things myself too. i feel like half the reason i never get far in my original stuff is that i have to name somebody or somewhere and i Die. all the names i come up with just feel off and wrong. nobody ever wants to call oolong or yuzu by their names. all the stuff ive been writing has blah names that are just kinda extremely directly what they're about. my real name feels weird and off and distant, like i always feel like it's a blonde woman's chihuahua's name, but toast isnt really that much better. i want to live in nameless world where nobody has names
