Since people seem interested, I've coded a version of this that yields better results, is more optimized, and allows you to customize the texture of the noise. It's free, and forever will be free. Enjoy! chaoclypse.itch.io/xerox-hell

I coded a web app that xerox's your images for fun! Just drag an image in and play with the dials. If nothing shows up (or it's all black) you may want to play with the threshold (first slider). Press "S" to save the image! editor.p5js.org/Chaoclypse/f...

I'll end with one of my favorite representations of Odysseus: as a fat, naked man sailing on a raft made of wine amphoras. It's a comic piece from Thebes We think of these myths as serious, epic stories. And they were. But not always. Sometimes they were just funny /end

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Ken, this is not the way to go about this. You've built up a lot of goodwill with your public statements and the LGBTQ representation on Jeopardy and this sort of response to legitimate criticism is just flushing that down the drain. It's a slap in the face to people who are under serious threat rn.

This may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.

Not personal: e.g. IMO, this work is incoherent, superficial and badly-written. Personal: e.g. You're ugly. You're hideous. Your tattoos are ugly. You're a bitter old woman. You're jealous. You're evil. You're ungrateful. You should shut up forever. I hope you die. I hope this helps!

Lane Moore@hellolanemoore.bsky.social · last wk.

I regret to inform you that my brain will think it's the year 2000 until the day I die. When is 30 years ago? 1970. How long ago were the '90s? 10 years ago. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

I support DSA policies, but let’s get real. On a national level, we need to be practical, play it safe, and get behind the mainstream establishment Democrats who lose all the fucking time.
