Yeah, "sacrifice zone" rural politics aren't just very destructive, they also don't scale. Sacrifices here would've included new family housing, a public school, a private school, a major park, a playground, a yacht club...a latitudinal cross-section of over 100K people cuts across ideological lines
About once a year something reminds me that the Medieval Times franchise originally comes from Spain; this year's it's this thread. I will promptly forget again because to me it feels like it should be Californian, but that's probably actually because it's Spanish
I mean forensics do tend to improve relentlessly with time; Peter Gabriel fans just detected an infinitesimal amount of accidental hum from a TV left on in the studio via spectral analysis of "Sledgehammer"

Not just the Simpsons, but Duckman too? The Postclassic Mesoamerican influence on '90s TV animation is severely underappreciated

Perfect example of why you shouldn't trust raw generative LLM output (vs. analytical output with links to sources)...a single unfortunate--yet statistically likely--word choice here turns Jolene into a melting eldritch horror
How pointless, considering the best possible variant in that particular subject's latent space was found years ago:
I found the actual intersection of art and technology, turns out it's Bellwoods & Dundas
One definitive advantage of diffusion rendering over conventional approaches, it becomes trivial to render "Harrison Ford with spherical hair." (No idea why he's on a train though?)
Also Zendaya is Meechee just has inexplicably powerful "found mantra" energy. See also

Reproduced. My theory is, we're living in a Lathe of Heaven scenario and David is the protagonist
