Google Photos reminded me of that one time Laura and I went to Miami and they were out of normal rentals so we got a convertible for the price of a compact

It can quote other human reviewers about what emotion this sound is supposed to be implying to humans.

The A.I. can tell you how many beats per minute and what key it's in and how many notes there are and the lyrics

BUT DOES IT FUCKING... SLAP?!?!

HOW WILL THE A.I. EVER KNOW?!?

It is the funniest thing to me that the real quandary A.I. writing will get itself in is that the robots have no way to review music or movies

The LLM can't actually review art

Super excited to be staging a pop-up sale at Two Tigers Coffee during the Clintonville Jamboree on Friday October 17, 2025 from 5 to 8pm!

It’ll be a table full of original art, the latest Nix publications, and discounted back issues for those of you who are new to Nix!

I have prayed on it and I now know the direction my life must take.

I will use the wooden art figure models my brother in law sent me to stage fucknasty stock photos for Pixabay

Two wooden art figure models, one with a Post-It Note that says "Gender" in cursive

The other is on its knees with a Post-It Note that says "BOOBS" on the flat part of its torso, which is probably the back of it 🤷

These two genderless wooden dolls are doing The Wheelbarrow

Fun times!

And let me highlight the DISCIPLINE at play here and across the country, too.

They are trying to goad protestors into lighting a Reichstag fire and those efforts are being met with suggestive hip thrusts from a giant inflatable frog.

This is movement not taking the bait.

She's his supporter and likes when the boats blow up tho

Headline: Venezuela's Maria Corina Machado once described Trump as a 'visionary.'

Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat.

"I totally support his strategy," Machado said. "I've said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It's courageous. It's visionary."

What the fuck is this

"Report account" leads you to a page asking which moderator you'd like:

- Bluesky
- The US Government??
- A.I. labeler

Ok, bluesky! Release the Epstein Files

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

so we know that humans share 50% of their dna with bananas. and also, they say one in four humans are related to genghis khan. using this information, we can determine that genghis khan was 200% banana

This is normal, I think. I am explaining why I will not read your newsletter if it's in my inbox. If you have shared it on social media I will read it probably. As a marketer there are newsletters I have to read, for work. Yuck and that's why I'm like this
