Let’s get a bit paranoid, shall we?
I’m sure you’ve all noticed that the ad economy appears to be getting worse and worse. There’s good news and bad news. As usual, I’ll start with the bad news.
A friend of mine sent me a link to this; we were discussing prevailing currents in the Pacific in the context of ancient rafters maybe going to South America from Africa and vice-versa. So, this is just cool. I’m not sure of its longterm usefulness but when Canada catches on fire this year I’ll turn the mapping on an see how it looks.
I used to love fashion. It flows from my love of art, design, and craft – some of the outfits from the high end of the couture world are just amazing. The Fashion Museum at the Met is a mandatory destination whenever I’m in New York, and I’ve managed to catch some of the big shows like The Age of Napoleon and the Heavenly Bodies show. [met] But after last year, when Kim Kardashian managed to pack her gigantic butt into a dress originally fitted for Marilyn Monroe, I began to see the event as a desert of decadence, mostly notable for the tremendous amount of elective plastic surgery on display.

I am going to continue the thread over at [stderr] but I wanted to branch into a side-topic here.
This post almost certainly will not be as well-organized as I wish it could be. I feel that the topic is of great importance, but I am unconfident of my ability to organize an argument, and I am painfully aware that I know far less about the topic than I ought to. Consequently, I welcome dismissive comments as well as substantive ones – part of what I need/want to do is learn more about the topic, and I’m having trouble even figuring out where to start. This will all become clear in a bit, I hope.
I amused myself for a short while by adding the word “swole” to AI prompts.
