How it looked when I was there some years ago for comparison.

Woke and saw a News notification on my phone, and thought, “FINALLY, some fun news, instead of more hate and dread to start my day.”

And then I saw everyone’s favorite Bluesky Dino expert wrote it 🥰 @restingdinoface.bsky.social

quote with your starry art 🔭
A surreal digital artwork depicting a young woman with short, wavy hair, whose eyes and part of her face are obscured by an arc-shaped band of starry space. The space band includes planets and celestial bodies orbiting around her head, blending with her hair. She wears a dark, high-necked outfit that appears to merge with the starry background, giving the impression that she is part of the cosmos. The color scheme is a mix of soft ochre tones and deep space purples.

Yeah, it’s his MO. Trump is someone who openly bragged about hiring construction crews to pretend to work on a project so he could con a board of directors into approving hundreds of millions in investment. He put it in his book because he is proud of it.
Once we'd finished our negotiations, the final step was approval of the deal by Holiday's board of directors. In many situations, board approval of management initiatives is merely a formality. In this case, I worried that Rose might use his board to help him get out of the deal, or at least force changes in it. Rose scheduled his annual board of directors meeting in Atlantic City so that the board would have an opportunity to see the proposed site and also to assess our progress in construction. It was the latter that worried me, since we had yet to do much work on the site. One week before the board meeting, I got an idea. I called in my construction supervisor and told him that I wanted him to round up every bulldozer and dump truck he could possibly find, and put them to work on my site immediately. Over the next week, I said, I wanted him to transform my two acres of nearly vacant property into the most active construction site in the history of the world. What the bulldozers and dump trucks did wasn't important, I said, so long as they did a lot of it. If they got some actual work accomplished, all the better, but if necessary, he should have the bulldozers dig up dirt from one side of the site and dump it on the other. They should keep doing that, I said, until I gave him other instructions. The supervisor looked a little bewildered. "Mr. Trump," he said, "I have to tell you that I've been in business for a lot of years and this is the strangest request I've ever gotten. But I'll do my best." One week later, I accompanied top Holiday Inns executives and the entire board of directors out to the Boardwalk. It looked as if we were in the midst of building the Grand Coulee Dam. There were so many pieces of machinery on this site that they could barely maneuver around each other. These distinguished corporate leaders looked on, some of them visibly awed. I'll never forget one of them turning to me, shaking his head, and saying, "You know, it's great when you're a private guy, and you can just pull out all the stops." A few minutes later, another board member walked over to me. His question was very simple. "How come," he said, "that guy over there is filling up that hole, which he just dug?" This was difficult for me to answer, but fortunately, this board member was more curious than he was skeptical. The board walked away from the site absolutely convinced that it was the perfect choice. Three weeks later, on June 30, 1982, we signed a partnership agreement. Our budget was $220 million—$50 million from Holiday directly, $170 million on a loan they guaranteed-and that included everything: carrying costs, construction, operating expenses, and required cash reserves. We projected completion in May 1984, but I was confident we could finish ahead of schedule, and even under budget, based on how carefully we'd done our planning.

Not to mention all the time wasted just sitting there, dodging responsibilities while mindlessly scrolling through stuff you don’t care about, feeling too guilty to do the things you actually want to do.

I got the new Magic the Gathering Chocobo set yesterday and hit the jackpot 🥹
Photo of my hand holding the Vivi Ornitier card from Magic the Gathering. Legendary Creature - Wizard 0: Add X mana in any combination of B and/or R, where X is Vivi Ornitier's power. Activate only during your turn and only once each turn. Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, put a +1/+1 counter on Vivi Ornitier and it deals 1 damage to each opponent.

An explainer I found about
jólabókaflóð 🙂
I would argue that it is real, but it has been hyper romanticized by foreign media to the point where they have actually twisted it around and got it completely backwards. First, "jólabókaflóð" (e. the Christmas book flood) does not refer to an Icelandic Christmas tradition of giving books as Christmas gifts and reading them while eating chocolate on Christmas eve. It's a term used to describe a commercial, market phenomenon, where most publishers and authors hold off publishing new books and wait until just before Christmas to release them, in order to maximize their sales. But, secondly, books are genuinely a very popular Christmas gift in Iceland. From personal experience, I can't remember having ever not received at least one book during Christmas. So, there is a reason why they "flood" the market with books in December.

Apparently this is a distortion of reality, but I don’t care, I want it.

cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention
