Context-free sentence from a PR pitch I will not be responding to:
"Brampton leads Canada in horoscope interest, generating 1,731 searches per 100,000 residents, a rate 110% above the national average of 823."

This is just disgusting.
guy accused me of AI generating my photographs, and then after i told him i don't use AI to make pictures, he put all of my most well known works into chat GPT and replaced the cars in them with different ones. are some of you genuinely fucking stupid? i feel like i'm going insane.

Remember when airliners had a PURSER'S STATION?
I just asked @helenczerski.bsky.social: Remember those airline headphones that are like air tubes?
She looked at me like I was crazy and said: That’s not a thing. How old are you?
I think that’s was a thing and it wasn’t that long ago. Am I wrong?

So, will 2026 be a year of Doing Hard Things and Making Tough Choices for you? It can be, if you take it a couple of steps at a time. Don’t be afraid to make a new routine and surround yourself with a circle of folks doing the same thing.

On top of that, I challenge you to find two people who perceive color in the same way.
Newsprint hit dog yelping, I know, but the lighting in a room will create different reading experiences on white paper, brightness of a screen will create different reading experiences digitally. For me, consistency of image amongst readers is borderline meaningless.

Fist bump to anyone else caught between the need to bow down & accept the dire, broken reality of the attention economy to continue surviving via their creativity & a desire to disconnect which becomes more vast, and more potentially vital to their sense of inner peace, with every year that passes.

It's almost like making a massively heavy electric vehicle even heavier by adding a gigantic gas generator is a bad idea.
I find beating the drum on EREVs as the "solution" to towing funny when some of these trucks have sustained draws of 150kW+ going up mild inclines with a trailer and (AFAIK) none of the generators would keep it from dying or even maintaining charge. The i3 was ~20kW if I remember.
