I put the Declaration of Independence through the LinkedIn slop generator. Incredible.

My daughter at the theme park today. I think she enjoyed it.

The practice of mummification began in Egypt in 2400 B.C. and continued into the Graeco-Roman Period. The body was washed, wrapped in linen (as many as 35 layers) and soaked in resins and oils.

"They lie in all the pools, pale faces, deep deep under the dark water. I saw them: grim faces and evil, and noble faces and sad. Many faces proud and fair, and weeds in their silver hair. But all foul, all rotting, all dead. A fell light is in them."

Oh so those are the actual lyrics

I rather liked the whimsical brickwork; fake-modelling a tree-trunk in brick, plus nice curves throughout, and the brickworks is technically done very well. My photo, today. cc. @Thinkwert, because whimsy.

There’s one of those filler “trend” pieces on the local news about sending your kids “gramping” with the grandparents over spring break but what I noticed is that about a third of the b-roll was AI-generated. Man it accelerated quick.

Sitting in an auto repair mechanic shop and I’m watching local broadcast television, and my conclusion is that about half of the ads are obviously using AI. The revolution was quick.

@rickwild1ng I never figured out how to play it myself. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%27s_c…

@Thinkwert Legit question. I'm assuming goal is to untie the knot? How do you put it back once you untie it?

Do kids even play these string games anymore? I remember some when I was a child in the 1980s, but I don’t think I’ve seen a kid playing these recently.

Thinking about the time our high school English teacher gave us a poem to analyse When we finished she told us it was Donald Rumsfeld’s WMD press conference, and that was the class
