The Mad Mouse

We should remember to pick our battles, and feeling furious about Mister Mouse’s actions indeed seems like a pointless waste of energy.

Ah, the look on Nixon’s face when he asks the Doctor ”will I be remembered?”

Wish I’d see more photography about the worlds, not just the overly sexualized avatars.

This. About artistic focus: ”the people I admire most just aren’t interested in things that take away from their ability to make stuff.”

Yeees, thank you, this is an important cultural callback.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahaha

Now that Morricone is gone, Carpenter would probably call Zimmer – then leave Hans hanging, retreating to his trusty Prophet-5.

Wow, and thank you! I see what you mean, and where it comes from, at least in the case of the Mets. I definitely agree with you about the need to study this. Traditional broadcasting could be so much more if it broke free from, well, certain traditions.

This is interesting! I follow only basketball and there’s nothing similar there happening, except some AR elements added. Would you mind linking some example from YouTube?

”History has an echo. A ballroom over a bunker then and now, a symbol of power pretending it’s safety, and when the music starts, my friends, note this: we should listen not to the violins, but to the sound under the floor.”

Now we wait for the Führerbunker.

Hitler did actually also upgrade (or downgrade, pun intended) his Vorbunker into Führerbunker.

It was always going to be like this. This is true Kino-Eye, and it will construct a genuinely objective depiction of reality. But ask – for who?

Ah, fava beans. And wild greens. Made me think of Greece right away.

It does – a huge kiwi half!

A huge, even, green disk of mold on a plate.

Yesterday I posted about a fungus from Chernobyl. Little did I know that today I’d discover an equally unique – and radioactive –phenomenon inside my oat vanilla sauce I’d left open in the refrigerator. #fungifriday #fungifriends

”For the platforms that survived, the arc bent from chaos toward systems that regulated the use of copyrighted material and rewarded creators for producing original work. Sora will need the same boring plumbing if it wants to graduate from novelty.”

”If the mood feels familiar, it’s because we’ve seen this before. Early YouTube was an infringement engine until a lawsuit pushed it to fingerprint every upload. Twitch tv and TikTok had their own reckonings with copyright violations […]”

”[…] users will crave more than fan fiction, and Sora seems well placed to become TV on demand […] If history is a guide, the social media platforms that thrive are those that support and protect human creativity—in this case, the creativity to make the TV and movies you always wished existed.”

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

”Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders.”

It’s driving me crazy to see how Poker Face’s Charlie’s nails changed between seasons one and two. Everything else fits within the show’s poirotian premise this makes no sense.

Regarding my last post —

I’m ready to let sleep carry me past all this noise.

This would certainly make things a little more mindful.

But maybe it would be a bit of a turn-off for them.

Subconscius or conscious parking?

As someone who is working rather close to AI business, I can certainly see what Senator Wiener is trying to achieve.
