And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, said two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, half-sunk, a shattered visage lies
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, left from the Grey Havens and sailed to the undying lands.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, past the sea of swirly, twirly gumdrops, and then, he walked through the Lincoln Tunnel!

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life
I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

And here are “Lunar” and “Solar” in the antique frames that inspired them.
I found these frames in an antique store, and they made me think of reliquaries and over the top religious art, like the jewel covered catacomb saints.
I stabilized the frames and added plexiglass and spacers.
