Are ‘Kites’ Fun?

all I’m saying is, the number of AI replicas of me made after I die better be either zero or a number that requires scientific notation

the only continuity is Eno’s long and illustrious career and mankind’s unflagging love of etuis

gonna have to go with CvB, as I’ve had “When I Win The Lottery” on my Intro syllabus a few times

A yellow and black common finch

Now this is a fucking bird

@walkaboutminigolf.bsky.social If “increasingly liminal AI-designed house” isn’t in your candy bag of Evil Lairs ideas, throw it on in there

I understand that two wrongs don’t make a right, but this would make for a reasonably fun VR minigolf course.

If I told you people once I’ve told you a thousand times: Art is pictures that you hang on a wall.

“I can’t play bass like this,” Jaco Pastorius fretted.

The fact that the one game made by an explicitly communist co-op game studio now has three successor studios making a self-proclaimed sequel to it, and dispute the legitimacy of the other two is, of course, the most communist outcome possible.

This represents much more academic psychology research than anyone in that field is comfortable admitting.

no need, I get the gist and am suitably flattered

If you’ve got the brain of a Yascha Mounk, I’m sure AI seems very impressive. As someone with a functioning adult human brain, though, I find it less so.

My country, America, yearns for freedom

in many ways, they were the Creedence of the 80s

They’re definitely a “love to make fun of but they got a few bangers” band for me, like U2. Who, unlike The Doors, do have a Zooropa, but who could never have a sketch this good done about them

happy 2 years to the Boston Cop Slide

we’re all sick of it being applied to fascism etc., but there are moments when the drolly olympian Times Tone is in fact the best possible way to explain a phenomenon

Burger’s 😔

Bob’s Burger’s is a real marvel, and what got me thinking about this: of the core five, only Linda Belcher isn’t simply What That Person Sounds Like. Dan Mintz’s comedy album, which is otherwise a B/B+ millenial comedy album where a guy complains about his dating life and stuff, is utterly surreal.

The park. It is really nice.
