Phantom Thread aka "I Could Fix Him: The Movie"

i just have one question: was it worth it? i really hope it was. it feels so bleak. so much work just to achieve the bare minimum, my god.

I love the novel Stoner by John Williams. it reads superficially like a story about a regular man's life with its ups and downs but really it's a horror story.

a man wastes his life, ignores the few who like him, and deeply hurts the even fewer who love him. He hates every minute of it!

i'd recommend writing a note for each spot in Obsidian and perhaps have a look at this obsidian plugin where you can include coordinates as a property for the note and the plugin will collect all locations in all notes and let you see them on a map

when i'm bored i just browse random new Ai services and push their feature demos to heights they could never have imagined. i'll make that robot remember me. fear me
bland AI feature demo: Here's a different kind of example. Try asking Lex to shorten this: "Q1 was a quarter of good growth, we think mostly driven by improvements to the new user onboarding experience, but also probably due to several of the new features we launched." after copious encouragement on my part the tool finally nails the tone i was going for: Proposed edit "Q1 was a seismic, universe-altering revolution in growth and innovation that has shaken the very foundations of reality itself and caused the gods to tremble in awe, overflowing with unparalleled and transcendent growth, divinely-infused and cosmically-empowered by revolutionary, genre defining improvements to divinely-inspired, reality-warping advancements to the new user onboarding experience, fused seamlessly with several reality-shattering, existence-redefining features that will echo through the ages and leave an indelible mark on the very fabric of the universe for all eternity."

I bet this feels really good if you're an FDR
FDR makes a New York newspaper baron cry and tells him to "go back home and read your editorials for the past six months—read every one and then think over what you have done!"

made the mistake of posting a jokey tweet with a picture of the lady from shogun who keeps begging for permission to commit suicide before watching the last few episodes where she turns out to be a beautiful being with the soul of an angel. also she dies. anyway! not doing that again 😭

A) you envy women because they get to wear women's clothes without having people stare at them

B) you are ready to trade(?) your penis(??) for that privilege(???)

just wear a dress, man. what is this. nobody cares if you wear a dress, it's not that deep.
skeet of some angry weirdo listing all the supposed privileges women enjoy (and curiously leaving out any downsides they might have to endure). for some also curious reason he considers the fact that women are allowed to wear women's clothes without judgement to be one of those unfair privileges?? at the end he tops it off by saying that if he had to trade his penis for all those sweet privileges he'd do it. buddy, nobody's stopping you. like, that is very much something you can do any day. also, you don't even need to give up your penis for that, you can keep it, this is a price you just made up)

anyway! i hear it's going to be a big day for our american friends tomorrow.
screenshot of the dude in shogun who keeps updating his will saying to one of his associates: "time to write another will." now that humanity has been thrust into the cool zone by the americans we should all keep our wills fresh. you never know what's going to happen tomorrow so you might as well face it prepared!

cataloguing the rich assortment of fabulous glasses in HBO's The Studio
a large set of havana colored glasses on seth rogen. they're sort of big enough to look like the sort of pimp pilot glasses and yet have just enough fragile shapes to create a sort of hybrid keyhole bridge pilot aviator frankenstein. the most beautiful glasses i have seen since i became interested in glasses two months ago

A superb session yesterday with The Centre of Aviation Photography in the Cold War operations room, some really creative and talented photographers took on the challenge of shooting in this unique space, and our volunteers got the chance to be models for the day!
Photo of people dressed in RAF uniform in a dark operations room, the woman in the foreground is turned towards the camera, lit by the glow of an orange radar screen and is wearing a headset microphone. Her hat is resting on the desk next to her. A photo of the RAF operations room, three people are sitting at the consoles looking at a radar display which glows orange. Two men are standing on the left pointing at the displays and the blue illuminated boards on the far side of the room. A photographer is standing to the right taking a photo of the scene.

when non-germans (humans) are forced to grow up among germans (demons) the body activates a hidden gland that unlocks Hatred+™️.

I am currently levitating in mid-air, my hands have turned into gleaming swords and my neighbor's stats are scrolling down my peripheral view in glowing red machine code.

who this "anonymous former Trump official" who talks exactly like John Bolton is we'll never know
"Trump doesn't see any of the global dimensions of this and doesn't even care. And he's leaning into all of Putin's talking points because he also thinks the same way, " said a former official from Trump's first term, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide a candid assessment. "Ukraine is like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria ...some other idiot's war, not his, and he wants it out of the way so he can get the deal with Putin he has always fantasized about," the former official said. "It's sad but very simple. And now Zelensky has criticized him, he will try to get rid of him."
