That wire better run from Amsterdam to Paris and have complimentary drinks and snacks at that price.

Not everyone gets to have a priest for a barback. I’m very lucky.

It didn’t occur to them that there is a horse-centric cultural continuum from Ukraine through Mongolia to the Midwest prairie that might have both working culture and exploitation of images of rugged individualism in common.

Only vaguely related, but I got to teach a Russian to regard Texas to Montana as “the wannabe horselords of the American Steppe”. Only a hollow cowboy culture vestiges of the extremely horse-centric life remains preserved in songs and pickup truck posers.

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. It’s viral. It’s accessible. It’s refreshing. It’s welcoming. It’s here.

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

I am upset that reading this made me remember The Batman Who Laughs, which I had gone several months without thinking of.

What I'm saying here is that, basically, brains were a mistake.

Time to make scenes using action figures and tell little stories with them. It will help the day fly by with the Power of Imagination!

Small personal victory of the day:

Spelled "electrophoresis" correctly the first time in an email today and did it again just now.

I think that deserves a chocolate.

I look forward to your future acquisition of a foundry. It is very different the buying a zoo.

The bicycle industry is trying to tell you that you need a full machine shop. Or at least a small CNC mill.

Gadget has already forgotten that A Crime Against Felinity has happened. He is very pretty and lives an untroubled life. Except for things that scare him.

THINGS THAT HAVE SCARED GADGET TODAY:

A screwdriver. No, not that one. *That* screwdriver is the only one that is scary. The rest are fine.

Pretty sure that's you. If there is such a thing as a standard part, I don't think you've met one.

It has been over an hour since I used it. Artemis is still mad at me. I receive the whine siren when she sees me and then she runs away. I have brought AN ENEMY into the home.

I have found something the cats hate even more than The Dread Vacuum.

A 3-panel Moon Knight comic, with Moon Knight (with the INDOPACOM logo over him) sitting next to a woman on a bench at night.

First panel: the woman is looking at Moon Knight and says, "you need a hobby." Moon Knight responds with, "I HAVE a hobby."

Second panel: the woman says, "hating CENTCOM isn't a hobby."

Third panel: Moon Knight (with the INDOPACOM logo over him) touches his chin and scrunches his face as if thinking about what she said while saying "hmmm."
