If you can get enough of Anni Albers' works, it's loom scrolling.
If you’re in a disastrous Joseph Losey film with Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Noël Coward, it’s Boom!scrolling.
If you are in a graveyard, it's tombscrolling.

A brazen museum heist. The world's most expensive jewels stolen. Unknown thieves. Authorities flummoxed. The Louvre? Yeah, that. But all this is in The Misfits books!!!!

🍫 #DidYouKnow that #NYCsubway stations used to have thousands of vending machines? In fact, New York's transit system is the first place in the US where vending machines were introduced! Vending machines first appeared on elevated train platforms in the 1880s.

People are starting to acknowledge that the (AI) emperor has no clothes.
"Research has shown that, inside some companies, workers begin to see their colleagues who use generative AI as less creative, even less trustworthy."
Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.
just googled chalk stream. I love UK nature!
Beautiful!
How deep is that water? I can't tell if it's wadable or if boats could go on it.

this is great news. however, I've never seen the original X-Files, so I have a LOT of catching up to do. 😂
News I needed.
Ryan Coogler says he’s rebooting ‘The X-Files’ for his mom, a major fan of the show, and she’s already read some pages: ‘She’s fired up.’

The title?

"Observations Upon Certain Passages in Mr. Jefferson's Notes on Virginia, Which Appear to Have a Tendency to Subvert Religion, and Establish a False Philosophy."
learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

Also worth noting that he wrote that poem to amuse his children while he was waiting in line at the bank, and now every day someone is trying to tell us that you need AI to tell your kids a story.

Skill issue.

Played one of my world-famous Halloween mixtapes during a long drive with a friend over the weekend, and he kept dozing off. File under: CHILL BEATS FOR RELAXING, STUDYING, GIVING YOURSELF NIGHTMARES
Tinkering with some audio this morning reminded me to remind *you* -- I curate a series of Halloween mixtapes, free to stream or download, that will lend to your home or office a tone of the creepy, the kooky, the mysterious and spooky, from now 'til All Saints. Who wouldn't want that?
