1) Source Credibility

This is the origin of the data. High grade data comes from academics, experts, peer reviewed journals, journalists working with editorial boards, whistleblowers.

Low grade data comes from substack style sites, social media, talking heads, celebrities, gen. AI, wikis. [2/3]

I finished Chucky (TV Series) a few weeks ago. Worth the time.

It's the worst. And it is sooooo expensive now.

Why aren't there places to take naps?

Like a small dark room with a bed or couch that you can rent for a couple hours for a nap.

You can double it as a love hotel for all I care. I just need some sleepy time.

Lots of chatter about fibre these days. Has it cycled back around to the macro de jour, or are we still on protein?

All money earned is via evil means.

It doesn't matter the amount or who earns it. Everyone is complicit with the evils of capitalism and industrialization. Just as we remain complicit with ongoing slavery.

There is no such thing clean money.

The entire concept of "virtue signalling" as derogatory is fascinating.

As social creatures we innately signal a host of things to our community. Virtues. Emotions. Threats. Sexuality.

Our society treats it as a short hand for hypocrisy, as if being a hypocrite is anything special, not the default

FWIW the human eye is 17-24mm, so the distortion to 35mm is quite a bit. But it is what allows a flat surface of a photo or screen to appear close to looking at things in 3D space with your eye.

It's an optical illusion as well. Fun stuff eh?

Marcus Riedner 🇨🇦 @daraddishman.bsky.social · 2d

It is a great example of the limitations of usi g photography as a modelling source - you are working from a distortion already.

Marcus Riedner 🇨🇦 @daraddishman.bsky.social · 2d

Sometimes anatomical oddities are an artifact of the lens used by a camera. A 35mm lens tends to flatten and widen, so that off arm angle is distorted. (I tried doing the arm post in front of a mirror and arms don't bend that way.

The stripe on the outfit also magnifies via optical illusion.

Money is power. Always has been to a degree, but even moreso in capitalist societies.

Just look at Trump. A perennial bankruptcy professional who traded power for money to start again, and vice versa when he has been flush with cash.

I would argue the two are fungible.

I guess it's Thelonious Monk's birthday as well. Or so says Google.

Of all the cities to fuck with. Chicago is the opposite of Portland. Chicago - pastors take pepper balls to the face and come back again with union reps.

Portland - dance party with animal costumes in the pepper ball mist.

I don't even any more.

Ah, yes. The "keeping my job is more important than doing my job" mentality.

It's a fast road to rounding up autistic kids and using them in lab experiments while bulldozing dirt over pits of dead bodies.

It is the highest form of cowardice and complicity.

Every family needs at least one cool artist auntie who has great tattoos and shows up like a gypsy with gifts from some random place on the globe.

Fucking Portland.

So much love.
