It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

As of late I’ve been trying to say “on site” rather than “in person”. And “remote” rather than “virtual”.
It’s not serving anyone, I don’t think, to foster the idea that online doesn’t also involve real persons.

We don't know where Hank Williams died 73 yrs ago today bc he'd been dead in the back of a moving car for hours before anyone even noticed. He was a stone-cold genius *and* a gigantic asshole, an absolute titan of American music. He released this weeks before he died. Prophetic. He was 29 years old

“Rain smacked Los Angeles. It splattered on the palm trees, sizzled on the neon, gurgled down the dirty boulevard. The town was sick. They hadn’t seen sunlight in almost a day. But I had the cure. A fifth of magic and a sack full of cold, hard joy. ‘Ho,’ I said once. It was enough.”

Following up on that last repost, the reason why "ffi" is sometimes a single character in typefaces is that it's what's called a ligature, in which characters are merged to make them look better on the page, as seen here:

If you need a good "fuck it, nothing matters give me something LOUD with ART DIRECTION" watch, Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) is currently on Netflix. Gary Oldman's cunty little sunglasses died for your sins.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

People will listen to neuroscience podcasts 18 hours a day and never shut up about optimizing themselves and still willfully forget that the point of making art is not for a computer to generate an image as quickly as possible it is to activate different parts of that brain you supposedly care about
