She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

If Ron Swanson made trivets, handcrafted out of Wenge, this is what he would make.

Fortunately for us, the fictional Ron channels his woodcraft through @nickofferman.bsky.social and the fine artisans at Offerman Wood Shop.

A fine addition to the new kitchen.

Nick's post reads: "Hand-making anything is a radical act opposing consumerism and conformity."

I saw a Reddit AMA with @nickofferman.bsky.social and haven't been able to stop thinking about this quote ever since:

Nick Offerman, Actor
I am trying to learn to appreciate that Al might make some human systems better when it comes to drudgery and accounting and such, but anything that springs from human creativity, I firmly don't ever want it to be jobbed out to a robot.
The whole point of the arts (i think) is to use our human ingenuity to salve the difficulties of existence and consciousness for one another, through all mediums.
Without the human intention and spark at the inception of the artwork, I find it rendered flaccid and empty.
To make an analogy, I am powerfully thrilled by the swashbuckling feats performed by the likes of Gene Kelly, Douglas Fairbanks and Jackie Chan, among others, who dazzle us with their charismatic derring-do and athletic prowess. As soon as you start using fast editing and computer-generated images to enhance their moves in any way, like in the Marvel films for example, I lose interest immediately because the raw human achievement is diluted to very weak tea. Even though it was a staged effect, Indiana Jones running from that rolling boulder had the visceral sense of reality because it was all physical real-life stunts and scenery. If the boulder was animated, it would not have half the thrilling effect.
My good pal, comedy writer and comics scribe Daniel Kibblesmith, who is a great follow, has said a lot of really powerful, pithy things on the topic, like:
["Can you believe a computer drew this / wrote this?"

["Can you believe a computer drew this / wrote this?"
Yes. Computers have been beating you in chess your entire life. Do you run around telling everybody that they're geniuses. Do you think people who play chess
"are shaking." Or are you missing the entire point of being a human?]
So, I understand that Al will infiltrate a lot of our world's infrastructure and liekly improve some operating systems, but I will eternally come down on the side of thinking about people and rewarding/remunerative jobs and their dignity and how that applies to our national/global well being.
I think Al will do a good job of making the wealthy wealthier, "now we have robots to mow the golf courses!" but that is sprinting in the wrong direction. Our consumerist society is neglecting, more and more, our stewardship toward Mother Nature. Toward creation and The Creation, which I believe we are called upon in just about every religion as well as that of common sense to steward. Having good work to do, especially in all of the depressed rural areas in America, is a much higher priority to me - knowing about our horrific, unhealthy industrial food system and the neglect of our small farmers, for example. Understanding that grass-fed, sustainable farming and regenerative practices is a much better path forward in specific and in general, than building a better robot.

Trekking my way through “Where the Deer and the Antelope Play” and finding so many great joy-nuggets. Love this one I found today: “However, here is a moral rule of thumb that I feel pretty secure about: Don’t wish pain on others.” Simply stated truth. Thanks!

Opinion | George Saunders on the Firing of Dr. Carla Hayden When a ship is sinking, there’s value in knowing how fast, and calling it out. When a country is self-sabotaging, ditto.

“In the real world, the world of cause and effect, when we tear down the best among us and provide bogus reasons for why we did it, reality will eventually come for us,” writes the author George Saunders about the firing of Dr. Carla Hayden, who was the librarian of Congress.

Four vertically stacked stills of David Lynch giving an interview.
1. Lynch captioned: As soon as you finish a film,
2. Lynch captioned: People want you to talk about it.
3. Lynch squeezing his eyes shut, possibly wincing, possibly looking frustrated and/or amused.
4. Lynch, eyes open again, smiling slightly, captioned: And it’s, um, the film is the talking.
