that’s so funny. it’s actually from a painting of a horse

Mateo Pedrali
Self portrait with laughing horses (1935)

the painting is of a guy with a long face and a serious expression holding paintbrushes. there are two horses right behind him. they have these ridiculous toothy smiles that are simultaneously almost cartoonish but still compellingly realistic and horsey? look i don’t know how to describe art but i really like this painting.

"You want to know the ironic thing? I wrote my son's obituary using ChatGPT, Mr. Taylor said. "I had talked to it for a while about what had happened, trying to find more details about exactly what he was going through. And it was beautiful and touching. It was like it read my heart and it scared the shit out of me."

psychologist who definitely didn’t have a weird preexisting sexual fascination with onion breath: uhhhhhhh actually there’s a fundamental biological explanation for this. you can put that in the textbook and everything

psychology textbook diagram of classical conditioning.

the unconditioned stimulus is a passionate kiss. the unconditioned response is sexual arousal. the conditioned stimulus is onion breath. the conditioned response is sexual arousal to onion breath.

maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
the sections of the pyramid are labelled (going from bottom/largest to top/smallest):
- 14 hours of screen time per day
- new tattoo that’s weird and offputting
- all regular stuff from the original maslow’s hierarchy of needs
-telling all my secrets to a total stranger with whom i feel a profound and complete connection and then never seeing them again
- someone on the internet tells me i’m funny

gotta remember to stop getting these dang memento tattoos

a 5-panel comic titled “Memento Tattoos” by joles
panel 1: the top of a phone screen, scrolling on some app where people post words and pictures and waste time.
panel 2: zoomed out so the whole phone screen is visible, and you can see the hand holding it has some words tattooed, starting with the word “PUT”
panel 3: zooming out further, you can see the whole arm. the tattoo reads “PUT THE PHONE DOWN, GET UP OFF THE FLOOR, AND PUT ON SOME PANTS YOU FUCK”
panel 4: the face of the person holding the phone, a disheveled woman who looks alarmed. the text says “ah crap. i should do that…”
panel 5: the same woman, viewed from the top. she’s still scrolling on her phone, and you can see she has many text tattoos, presumably similar reminders. the text reads “…soon. like in 5 minutes.”

applying for jobs again

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

first panel donnie is labeled “bluesky” and he says “you have a new follower”
next panel the therapist says “real or just some weird fucking bot again?”
last panel is cropped so you can’t even see the answer but you can tell from his face..,. it is not a real follower

our society should be able to support all these types of guys. really fucked up that you don’t see these guys around anymore

screenshot from the wikipedia article for a hobo

“A hobo is a migrant worker in the United
States. Hoboes, tramps, and bums are generally regarded as related, but distinct: a hobo travels and is willing to work; a tramp travels, but avoids work if possible; a bum neither travels nor works.”

People also ask
What is the salary of a pope?
While popes traditionally receive a salary, reports indicate that the current wage for the position is $32,000 per month. However, Pope Francis has opted to either donate this money to the church, use it for a foundation, place it in trust, or pass it to a family member.
