yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

I’d have myself tinted as well, but I’d lean a little more towards amber than sepia.

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

I kind of gave up on the idea of a top ten silent films list, so instead let me choose one recommended film per decade of projected silent cinema! 1890s: THE VANISHING LADY (1896) is a simple illusion but Georges Méliès shows that the secret to film success is in a charismatic performance.

Periodic reminder: What you see on social media is an algorithm-curated echo chamber. Those who shout loudest typically get amplified the most, regardless of whether they’re right. The real work takes place offline. If you’re getting stressed out by today, take a break, focus on what you can do.
