The end of LOVE ACTUALLY, but he's holding up Rorschach blots to an increasingly distressed Keira Knightley.

The 'Reddit For AI' Site Is Not A Robot Uprising, It's Nothing At All Moltbook is a bunch of mindless LLMs sending each prompts, and not the singularity

I've written about Moltbook, and how ridiculous the reaction has been to a group of LLMs sending prompts back and forth.

"This is as interesting and threatening as a bunch of Speak & Spells in an echoey parking lot."

A minimalist movie poster for "Aniara" featuring a spacecraft drifting into a distorted, hypnotic vortex of black and white lines that radiate from a bright red planet against a black background.

Aniara was released 7 years ago today.

"A spaceship carrying settlers to Mars is knocked off course, causing the consumption-obsessed passengers to consider their place in the universe."

A delicious gloomy film.

I'd never seen the video for this song before. If I'd ever thought to imagine what images fit with this song, they wouldn't have been these. Probably because I always forget about the "metal" bit in the middle. Anyway, I love this nonsense.

View of a cloud-shrouded city by night. The consists of massive monolithic towers looming over clusters of smaller towers in shadow. The lights of the city illuminate the underside of clouds that pass through the towers. The nights sky is a slate gray illuminated both by aurora and stars.

"With golden hand you built, you raised, alongside humankind redeemed,

A city wrought for hope and joy as none have ever dreamed."

–Excerpt from "Threnody for Elysium"

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Sunset on Opening Day" 20"x20" oil on linen (2024). A seascape painting with dramatic blue clouds in orange-toned sunset sky over a rocky seashore. Flecks of orange light appear in the sky, and colors from the sky are reflecting in water below.

Most days, I spend at least a little time staring at the sky, watching how light plays with #clouds. Sharing this sunset painting for today's #BlueSkyArtShow

Based on nothing but hope, I believe that as you slip from this world into the next, you get to see yourself as those who love you see you

Starfleet Academy update: it's great. The stories are interesting and nuanced, they're given room to breathe, and the cast is killing it. Hope it stays the course.

at least the samurai in my backyard is quiet. he respects the peace, even as he drives his sacred blade through my tomatoes. i watch helplessly as he perfectly bisects every lemon on my tree, slashing green beans and carrots with calm determination. i sit, watching, quietly hoping that i'm next,

It has been a fucking atrocious day in Minneapolis, but I am proud of what I wrote here. It's free to read without a subscription if you'd like to give it a glance. I'd really appreciate it.

Hadn't heard this song before. Love it. Thanks.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

"She more than likely did, and that moon-diadem was almost certainly banged into shape by a disgruntled Florentine, working for pennies in some sweat-shop to accommodate the witch-craze tourists."

A simple line drawing with halftone shading of the titular pig-man from the movie Porco Rosso. He’s wearing a trench coat with the collar turned up and a wide brimmed fedora and sunglasses. His mouth is wide open in a sarcastic laugh. A word balloon says, ‘Maybe it will happen today’

A beautiful ink drawing of a plucking a small harp, her skin is stained blue. Her dark hair and a swirl of white markings drifting through on a mottled bright pink ink

The harpist
Every string a beautiful note

A sharp-faced young man is seated at an arm chair holding an old book. The elaborate gold embossed on the cover glows with power, and whisps of magic drift out from between the pages.

A sharp-faced young man holds a candelabra aloft in the darkness. The candle flames are ablaze with magical lights and color.

A sharp-faced young man holds up an elaborate document for the viewers' inspection. The writing is elaborate and alight with magical power. It is sealed with wax and gold seals on the bottom. The young man gestures to the document derisively.

A sharp faced young man looks to the viewer, around his head is a halo of rose, gold, and cerulean fires.

The Magician of Dvaras Saturnine.

when an old wooden ship gets swept up in a terrible storm at night and ends up crashing into a cliff it probably feels good to the ship and the cliff at least

BAGGER: (spilling my groceries on the floor) Oh God. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I'm supposed to do.

ME: How are you supposed to do it?

MANAGER: She means she was gonna be a fox. In the woods and shit. But something happened and she got stuck.

BAGGER: (crying) Got so stuck.

I'm glad they released two episodes of Starfleet Academy. I didn't even begin to get on its wavelength until partway through the second one. Started it with hope and good will in my heart but it threw me real fast, and then won me back. Mostly. I think. I'll watch more.
