screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

I have been trying to explain to people for YEARS that America’s rich loved the 19th century boom-and-bust economy of constant crashes.

When you’re rich enough, an increase in cost of living is negligible and you can buy up bankrupt property & businesses for pennies on the dollar.

REMINDER TO NOT TALK ABOUT BEING AT PROTESTS ONLINE.
You do not need to "prove" you were there, it puts you and others in danger.
Only tell people in person when you go for safety.

Shoutout to people who actually need to call but text first to make sure we’re in a good head space. Like, I am not, but since you were thoughtful enough to ask, you can go ahead and call as a little treat.

Dolly Parton Responded to Indiana’s Threat To Cut Funding of Her Children’s Literacy Program With This Smart Instagram Move Do you remember the part in Elf where the nun cries, “But the children love the books!” as Buddy’s real-life father, Walter, delivers the ruthless news that the orphanage has missed its rental payment...

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library exists with her own funding, in addition to state funding. States, such as Indiana, are beginning to cut such funding. Her library program gifts FREE BOOKS TO CHILDREN.

We ride at dawn for Dolly Parton, always. Thank you for your book joy💛

A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire."

The AI system will then determine whether an employee should be terminated.

Because, of course, letting AI decide people’s livelihoods seems like a great idea.

OPM has stated that a response is not necessary. However, if a response were required, here is their plan: Musk-directed emails to government employees, requesting details on their work over the past week, are expected to be fed into an AI system to assess job necessity.

People who think of politics as extraneous to the everyday business of living have an extraordinary privilege that makes them completely out of touch from the reality of their neighbors. You cannot be so divorced from your community that their suffering means nothing to you.

February, I’m sorry but I don’t think we should see each other anymore. We just don’t vibe. I thought I was ready to give months another shot after January, but I’m just not. I just think maybe I need some time to be completely disconnected from the earthly constructs of time and space, you know?

Dorothy Porter in 1939, at her desk in the Carnegie Library at Howard University. Moorland-Spingarn Research Center, Manuscript Division, Howard University

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

From a WWII handbook on being a bad at job to roadblock fascism. Here's the text: “Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.”
“Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.”
“‘Misunderstand’ orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can.”
“In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first. See that the important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers of poor machines.”
“To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.”
“Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.”
“Multiply paperwork in plausible ways.” 
“Make mistakes in quantities of material when you are copying orders. Confuse similar names. Use wrong addresses.”
“Work slowly. Think out ways to increase the number of movements necessary on your job”
“Pretend that instructions are hard to understand, and ask to have them repeated more than once. Or pretend that you are particularly anxious to do your work, and pester the foreman with unnecessary questions.”
“Snarl up administration in every possible way. Fill out forms illegibly so that they will have to be done over; make mistakes or omit requested information in forms.”

I'm digging how this WWII guide is basically "gum up fascism by being an energy vampire." Let Colin Robinson be your guide in the fight against fascism. The link: www.404media.co/declassified...

4 step tutorial to create a tiny map. 1. make a shape. 2. using the node tool, create nodes on the shape and adjust the shape to your liking. 3. Using the Vector brush tool, draw a bunch of lines on top of the shape to create roads. select them all and expand stroke. 4. Using the shape builder tool, subtract the roads from the shape. From here, you can select all the nodes and curve them to soften the edges. And use the shape builder tool to create new shapes from all the little blobs so you can color them in and create little highlighted areas.

Hey Bluesky. Need to make a little map? Here's a 4(ish) step way to do that with Affinity Designer. Using the node tool to make the town, the vector brush tool to draw 'roads', and the shape builder tool, to create little pockets in town you can color to highlight important areas. alt for details.

Part 2:Augusta Savage 1937. “I don’t think about Augusta Savage as someone who only made objects,” one curator said of the Harlem Renaissance sculptor, but rather as someone who “has really left behind a blueprint of what it means to be an artist that centers humanity.” -NYTimes
