mark zuckerberg we are going to give you the unfathomable power you ostensibly need to stop vaguely defined bad things from happening on your platform, and we are going to do it in a tone that suggests we are punishing you somehow

green wolf pack is hemmed in and would be fully justified engaging in a war of expansion
GPS tracking of 6 different wolf packs in Voyageurs National Park. Notice how territorial they are and how much they avoid each other, although there's at least one wolf from the white pack who doesn't give a shit.

AI generated art represents basically no threat to serious art primarily focused on either its concept or the materiality of its own media, which is most of it and has been for a while. it can make anything you can make in photoshop which anyone with photoshop could already do

doctors say agreeing with me is the healthiest thing you can do, and that disagreeing with me is a kind of syndrome of the brain that is in fact a medical emergency
A particular brand of conspiracy theory is emerging in the mainstream: A belief that the “official story” is in fact a Big Lie, being told by powerful, shadowy interests. nyti.ms/2IaCgJf

sometimes this guy is very right on about silhouettes and tailoring and stuff, but I think RFK Jr.'s being a sort of weird hodgepodge of cultural signifiers as a ripped elderly weirdo from a famous political dynasty is well represented by a dress belt with jeans
we should not judge presidential candidates according to physique but whether they understand that 1.25" dress belts with stitched edges should be kept to tailored trousers and that jeans require wider, plain-edged 1.5" belts that are in keeping with denim's more casual nature

not to mention that I grew up with appliances, cars, and computers that were much more amenable to being opened up and fixed by the same people who used them. they literally changed society from the top down to make all that shit harder

I personally know how to do a great deal of boring household stuff because I grew up in a house that had to be maintained, and because my dad did too and I was around him doing that stuff. nobody abandoned anything there are just less people in that situation

sad to report the girl scouts have killed a beloved escaped zebra
New info from Maryland DNR:
The zebra was found dead Sept. 16 in a snare trap on a private property that officials said is owned by the Girl Scouts.
Officials have been saying for weeks they were close to capturing the zebras safely.

there's nothing to really be done but we're never getting back any liberties we take away to deal with this. every bit of surveillance infrastructure, every lapse in civil liberty sets a precedent. maybe we have to. I have no clue.

people who don't have enough in-person human interactions start seeing demographic categories like "men" and "women" as these sort of big amalgamated monsters with shared minds and shared responsibility for everything inside them. it's not a new observation but man is it tiresome

yeah I love that vape shops have flashing window surrounds the approximate brightness of the sun and 7-11s have floodlights appropriate for federal prison guardtowers and I get a headache from driving under pure white streetlights now. all that stuff is great
Just looking at the beautiful LED light bulbs. Available in all heats. In all fittings. And styles. In all powers. Hugely efficient. And remembering the energy efficient bulb backlash from back in the day. Seems (with a few exceptions I'm sure) pretty silly now.

guillermo del toro said
To be clear: If God offered to shorten my life to lengthen Scorsese's- I'd take the deal. This man understands Cinema. Defends Cinema. Embodies Cinema. He has always fought for the art of it and against the industry of it. He has never been tamed and has a firm place in history.
