Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse…
18 years ago I was sitting in my 7th grade English class and my teacher told us that while we were roughing out our work we should always, 100% of the time, be writing. I, always the antagonist and forever unwilling to take things at face value, of course questioned my teacher. "What if we're still thinking of the next thing to write?" Astutely, she replied: "If you can't think of the next thing to write, write literally anything, even just "Mickey Mouse" over and over and over again until […]https://snowebell.cc/mickey-mouse-mickey-mouse-mickey-mouse/

We got into Warhammer in 1995 (peak Warhammer/40K 2nd/Mordheim/Titan Legions/Blood Bowl/etc). Now, at nearly 40, my brother is getting back into painting.
He was in his local store. The manager is a similar age but started more 2000s, so he remembers some bits of Red Period and the turn of the millennium games but is only vaguely aware of other bits.
While getting his Mini of the Month, my brother was educating the 20-something staffer on the Red Period style that he was going to use. And then mentioned John Blanche. And the guy goes "who?" 😮
My brother had to call over the manager for this flagrant shortcoming. But apparently Blanche is part of Deep Lore that they don't cover in standard staff training.
But… it feels like working for the Tolkien Estate and not knowing the work of Alan Lee or John Howe.
Or working on the Man United Old Trafford tour and saying "Eric Canto-who? And Peter Schmi-something? Nope, dunno" 😐

Easily Swept Aside
I thought about making an analogy between spider webs and something fragile like human plans, or political ambitions, or romantic fixations, but they all seemed too obvious. You all know already that our best laid plans often go awry. You also know that you would not hesitate to swat away a cobweb that touches your face. So, I decided instead just to show some lovely, clever, temporary, webs on my patio this evening. They may not be there tomorrow.

🤖🥪 AI coding is like making a PB&J: messy, sticky, and you'll probably end up with jelly on your face. But sure, let's pretend your real superpower is "clear communication"—because there's nothing clearer than a thousand-word rant about how you can't spread jam. 🙄📝

From @_elena: "I have come to see the #Fediverse as the equivalent of organic, plant based, home-cooked meals and by contrast I see TikTok, Instagram, X, Threads, Snap and other platforms by Big Tech as the equivalent of Big Food – brands like Coca Cola, McDonalds, Nestlé, that promote ultra-processed, highly addictive foods and beverages, contributing to an epidemic of obesity, type 2 diabetes and other diet-related diseases."

CW: Machine Unconscious
H/T @sarahebull
It was often called _uncanny_, there was something uncanny in the rhetoric itself, all the shop talk about _latent knowledge_, about _regression_, about its capacity for _free association_, terminology that has its origins in psychoanalysis.
