Turkish is agglutinative and many full sentences worth of content can be within a single "word".

In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two Pittsburgh banks and robbed them in broad daylight, with no visible attempt at disguise. He was arrested later that night, less than an hour after videotapes of him taken .from surveillance cameras were broadcast on the 11 o'clock news. When police later showed him the surveillance tapes, Mr. Wheeler stared in incredulity. "But I wore the juice," he mumbled. Apparently, Mr. Wheeler was under the impression that rubbing one's face with lemon juice rendered it invisible to videotape cameras (Fuocco, 1996).

the annoying thing about “Dunning-Kruger” is that the actual paper starts with a perfect anecdote that ends with the perfect colloquial phrase for the delusion, and yet everyone still insisted on using “Dunning-Kruger” instead

Gotten back on the horse making very specific memes for my friends

one of my favorite tweets

fake magazines mayday with plane, dead bird with bird photo, doggies with growling dog, greed with money in hand, slums downtown living, pain and suffering, chin, women whaler, eorm, energy, super punks.

fake cereals boo boo, blue honey, count ohoculo, meaties, storrios, fruit butte, mmmmy mmmy, by fake bags of chips.

books say all hail Caesar, first mayor of williomette, machines of destruction, they killed him, amazing Roosevelt.

side of large food box says below nutrition facts there is still a lot of space down here roo for a lot of text that I can't really think of writing just to make the box look full from a distance and busy and realistic. I just have to type a lot of things on the side of the box. don't believe nutrition facts here. they are just the same as the rest of them really they are and they are not accurate at all.

I'm concerned that one thing game companies will use genAI for is populating background details like fake magazines, store shelf products, and book covers. This is what they're trying to take from us. This is what's at stake. (Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines, Dead Rising, and Plastic Battlegrounds VR)

this is basically stealing from a meme either @starshine.bsky.social or @gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social or @sharonk.bsky.social made but I had to do it

i think Fortiche should make a His Dark Materials animated series. i think doing something animated akin to Arcane would go much farther than live action, in properly portraying the world and the characterization of the daemons.

a source of my optimism, my the belief that people are generally fundamentally good, is the fact that anybody, at any time, can go to a gas station and buy a bomb for $5, and yet, very few bombings actually occur here, on the daily.
