Art director: Mmm that mango just doesn’t look… tropical enough. Isn’t it a tropical fruit? Like you cut it open and it has the delicious tropical juice inside? Illustrator: I… wh… Do you mean a coconut? AD: Exactly. Make it more tropical. I: … like a coconut? AD: Great talk.

this morning the 7yo has failed to create a monorail in minecraft. as punishment, the sulfur cube involved has been filled with iron, left at the bottom of the ocean, and sealed in an iron tomb with glowing red eyes.

For two decades I've been too lazy to code and deploy this tool, but here: this takes a sequential pdf and returns an imposed zine version: humaniterations.net/imposedonline/

Me: So the reason AI keeps generating stories about a lighthouse keeper is that many generated stories were considered “unsafe,” and discarded, whereas the innocuous and clean lighthouse keeper stories were retained. Robert Eggers: I don’t follow.

This is wild: essentially every LLM—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini—keeps using the same character when asked to make up a story, a guy called 'Elias Thorne'. He appears so much it's impacting Google Trends data and the self-published book market. Now we might know why www.404media.co/elias-thorne...

extremely rude to journaling games that AI loves to make up little stories about lighthouse keepers

Does anyone have metal recommendations that are like this King Gizzard album? So, polyrhythmic speed/power metal?

bad comic

everyone who makes a little game or a little comic or a little zine or a little website is beautiful in my eyes.

Discovered Ben Chatwin's Drone Signals today and I'm absolutely obsessed. What a record.

just had a vicious flashback to watching my grandmother play solitaire for windows 95 as i was booting up slay the spire II

I think this an interesting, well-thought out manifesto. Written by a designer with experience in AP. Definitely worth a read. I hope to not catch anyone reacting to this without reading it first.

I have a new idea for a ttrpg but I can't even think about it right now because my body is a machine that turns artistic energy into vapor ware

I bet the guy who invented chess was very annoying. “Did Raj make you play his game?” “Yes, it was very complicated and he beat me.”

What’s the game you play when you’re fried. When parsing too many written words in a row has started to make your head spin. What’s a game you can turn your brain off to play and it‘s good and fun
