Guy who quits his job in order to pursue his dream of finding and then fucking the Clown King.

His family is like "you can't become a professional clownfucker, that's not a real career"

And he's like "Olivia Nuzzi did it, so can I"

Remotes for smart TVs are a real snapshot in time where you’ll be looking at a dedicated button that takes you directly to Redbox or Chicken Soup for the Soul Originals and you’ll realize how hard running a business must be

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

We live in an era where people who have never gone 100% on any creative project hear that AI can get them 90% of the way and think the future is nigh, not understanding that creatives spend their careers honing the skills required to navigate the last 10%.

"Alright everyone, listen up. This here turbo encabulator remodulates over 200 teradynes every minute. You start sending demure nudes to RFKjr and this whole place goes up in plasma. Keep your eyes open."

"Sending demure nudes to RFKjr" needs to become a part of the language just like couchfucker.

"Oh man I really sent some demure nudes to RFKjr, didn't I?" after making a mistake, etc

Anyway, I don’t have a coup de grace to finish this off, I started laughing at COAT BATH and then spent too long thinking about it for real in relation to my actual work and so bla bla bla long thread. GenAI will never and fundamentally *can* never design buildings or landscapes or anything 8/FIN

If there’s anything I might want automated about my workflow, it’s the repetitive stuff, the stuff where mistakes are made because information isn’t consistent between one drawing and another. And that’s already been automated so well in a smart way (for architects, not landscape architects ffs) 7/?

But Martin, you say, this isn’t about construction docs, this is idea generation, quick iterations with minimal effort, what’s the harm? Why the fuck are you an architect if you want to automate the best part of your job? The only part of your job you learned in school? 6/?

The main thing though is that someone needs to stamp these drawings. Is any architect going to hang their professional liability on GenAI? For their sake I really hope not! She’d need to go through every mark on the paper or PDF to make sure no slop snuck in, hours of extra work finding a needle…5/?

So what’s really left is work on either end of the detail spectrum. Either you think big picture about the whole design and and test stuff out (AI can’t do that) or you’re really in the weeds sorting out details that the automated program can’t do (100% something AI can’t do) 4/?

Software like Revit has automated a *lot* of architectural drafting to the point that it’s almost too easy to go from idea to construction documents (landscape architecture still doesn’t have its own bespoke software still and that makes me insane but that’s a different thread)…3/?

This isn’t a floor plan, this is nonsense. But let’s pretend for a moment that upon improving, AI would get better at this and render text properly and actually put beds in the bedrooms and toilets in the bathroom and have doors to the outside, even then, it’s still hot garbage… 2/?

I’m still thinking about this and it really is one of those “everyone thinks Elon Musk is a genius until he gets involved in your field” moments. I’m gonna be a total bore and think about this seriously, please don’t read on if you don’t care what a landscape architect thinks about this shit… 1/?

Trump has posted to Truth Social at least 75 times and counting in the past hour.

It’s weirdo garbage produced by random people on X and TikTok across a number of topics, like conspiracy theories about Ilhan Omar and influencers who claim “communists” are attempting a color revolution in the U.S.

HUUUUGE Black bear caught on our garden cam in our backyard in Jersey the other night.

A bunny holds a lantern in the hold of a ship. He greets a large green parrot, who is dressed as a pirate (with an eyepatch, peg-leg and cap.) The parrot is standing on a wooden crate looking authoritative

Daily bunny no.3153 meets the captain

A bunny going ice fishing has just cut a hole in the ice, in the middle of a lake in winter. A turtle emerges from the ice, to the surprise of the bunny. Shouldn't he be napping?

Daily bunny no.3154 "how's the water down there?"

Can AI tuck your kids in at night? Can it write you a beautiful symphony full of meaning and wonder? Can it suck you off and tell you to make a mess in its mouth? Can AI hug you and tell you your father loved you?

Hey so the end of the month passed and senate democrats have refused to do or say anything to show that they disagree with Schumer's cowardice.

Primary all of them. It's been obvious that most of the Democratic party was unwilling to actually push where needed, but now we know none are redeemable.

Oh my God this is great, hadn't seen it before: Night of the Mini Dead

it’s kind of insane it came out that the president might be one of the most notable pedophiles in modern history and he’s just still the president

“Strong Floor No Ceiling!” chant all the people who say they can’t support Defund the Police or Black Lives Matter because “they’re bad slogans that nobody understands.”

This guy says he's now in charge of the highway department, no one knows whether he is, but he's also the auditor for the FDA's payroll budget, no one knows who he reports to, this is totally normal.

Just a bunch of the world's worst fucking people *playing* at pretending to be government officials.

"No he said *I* get to be safety czar this week no take backsies!"

"Then I get to be both head of the Treasury *and* the parks service!"

Like we saw this last time with kushner and miller, but now it's the entire leadership

It's all a bunch of Nazi rapists randomly shifting job titles back and forth in a fucked up game of calvinball.

"is he the head of this new agency? Isn't he also the head of 4 other agencies now?"

Like literally none of these loser sex peat Nazi dweebs has actually defined roles or responsibilities, it's all just vibes.

"I'm the czar now," some broccoli headed freak tells you, as your own security guys aim guns at you.

It's cool how all the people in charge are Nazis and rapists and each one has like 4 different random roles. This 19 year old guy is a pedophile, he's now secretary of 3 different cabinets *and* 3rd most senior DOGEr *and* a Tesla manager etc.

like the org chart is just rancid fucking vibes.

they're literally just LARPing as the federal government i hate them all so much

We are really going to need to tear down that ballroom. I’m worried even a progressive in office might be like “it’s wasteful to demolish” but it’s the least American structure ever built
