Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

History repeats.

I have never committed to anything in my life the way boomers commit to flooding Facebook with AI slop like it’s their patriotic duty.

It needed to be scored.

Cover to Bob Vylan’s album Humble As the Sun

Taking a break in our busy weekend for pancakes, bacon and Bob Vylan’s album Humble As The Sun. A good mix of hip hop and rock.

Majestic Arrows album cover

Kicking off Sunday the right way: pancakes sizzling, sausage crackling, and playing The Magic of The Majestic Arrows. In the early 70’s, The Majestic Arrows had a regional hit in Chicago with “The Magic of Your Love”.

A debate is when two people argue but are not at cross-purpose. Kirk’s last argument was the 2A shouldn’t apply to trans people b/c he accused them of being more dangerous. His opponent came with real data that empirically shows otherwise. Calling it a debate implies Kirk was there to be swayed.

Butter08’s album cover for Butter. It’s a pat of butter.

Now that Jillian is home from summer camp we return to our new routine. Driving lessons then breakfast. Pancakes and bacon paired with Butter08’s album Butter.

Cover to Wet Leg’s new album moisturizer.

Making pancakes for Jillian and her pals. Listening to Wet Leg’s new album moisturizer. Nothing as catchy as “Chaise Lounge” still a really good album.

I’m glad I was sitting down when I read the news.

Album cover to Waylon Jennings Ramblin’ Man

It’s too darn hot. Not to hot for pancakes and outlaw country. Listening to Waylon Jennings’ album Ramblin’ Man. I’ve had this album on repeat all week.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

Album cover to Brian Wilson’s Smile

Pancakes are an easy choice for breakfast. Tough choice on this morning’s album. Landed on Brian Wilson’s Smile. Thirty something years after starting the follow up to Pet Sounds, Brian finally released his vision of Smile.
