got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

A mushroom on a woodland floor. It has a double stalk and from this angle it looks very like a pair of legs, a human bottom and a hitched up skirt exposing same.

Looks like a fun guy.

winston churchill vs one otter

you are winston churchill at 90 years of age, and you have been confronted by a single otter. you have four moves: alcohol, genocide by starvation, speeches, and being mean to guests at dinner. the otter has one move, which is to bite you in the ass

The brave archeologists, reconstructing British culture from your artifacts, would probably see it as a kind of cracker.

I am not a Brit, so I am not sure whether you consider the Cadbury Finger to be a biscuit. Here in the colonies, we would consider it to be a chocolate, like a Twix.

Ah, yes. Studying the strange habits and practices of the foreigner, supplied only with the most cursory information, which will doubtless suffice

Good morning.

Yes, we think by writing and we think by talking, for a start, and one shouldn’t classify “offloading cognition” as immediately harmful just because something is happening outside the brain.

No news on the new people yet.

my cult of personality toils in the desert, building a gleaming machine that will let me rip like a beyblade. maybe spinning real fast will fill whatever nameless wanting is missing; maybe if i spin fast enough, my brain will outrun its own noise. the horse we tested it on exploded. very promising.

People say genius can't be rushed but I think what isn't pointed out nearly enough is that non-genius also shouldn't be rushed. Non-geniuses are no less entitled to a personal quota of idle wandering, breaks to consume cake, staring blankly out a window and taking 11 days to reply to a text message.

Using genAI for "research, brainstorming, or outlining" means your so-called work is not just human work. You may think you can still call it "human-authored work" but it doesn't meet my criteria for "human-authored work."

On my morning walk in the woods, a tree captures the sun in its wooden heart.
