Cover of The Saturday Evening Post, dated October 27, 1928. An elderly woman with long white hair sits in a chair. She has a pumpkin in her lap that she is carving into a Jack-o'-lantern. A broom rests against the chair and a black cat sits at her feet. Bats fly in the background. Illustrated by Frederic Stanley (1892–1967).

Happy Marvelous Marvelous Sunday Sunday!

Do you have any MARVELOUS plans for this Sunday, Trainers?

The Queen of the Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) blooms once a year at night.

No one.

a text post from Michael Tonelli: "It's really unbelievable the niche parts of the internet that Al is ruining. My wife looks up crochet patterns online. It's now overrun by Al made up patterns that make no logical sense. My wife said if you tried to crochet the pattern that Al hallucinated, it wouldn't even be possible. And it's like, why? Why is someone ruining free crochet patterns? How were they even aware of that corner of the internet? Is there a plan to make the internet so unusable that people abandon it so we don't have access to information anymore?"

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...

the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

Last year the Japanese variety show Gaki no Tsukai had the famous singer Yoko Takahashi go undercover at a restaurant where she fooled everyone right up until she took the stage and belted out A Cruel Angel's Thesis, the intro song to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Just stunning.

"Is China creating a new imperialist empire within Africa?"

Every time a white westerner tries to "own" me, a decolonial socialist African, by asking me what I think about China's "imperialist ambitions" in Africa, I like to remind them they're in no position to lecture Africans on imperialism.
