guilty as charged

quote from alice roosevelt longworth: i’ve always believed in the adage that the secret of eternal youth is arrested development.

Stina Leicht@stinaleicht· Jul 2

come, sit next to me.

this made me laugh.

graphic of joy.scaglione’s threads post. it’s a black and white illustration of a witch trial with the text: i saw goody proctor throwing algae into the reflecting pool.

posted above a screenshot from the lord of the rings. (specifically, the dead marshes scene.) “breaking news: dead faces are starting to appear in the lincoln reflecting pool and visitors are warned to not ‘follow the lights’"

why not read a satire for america’s birthday?

the cover of meg elison’s foundling fathers is centered with “you have to laugh at this country to keep from crying” on the left. the graphic announces that she will be touring this summer.

this is goose aka gooser, goosifer, sir wigglebutt of the westmoreland wigglebutts, boo boo kitty face, little guy (he’s 13 pounds) and sweet boi. he’s smart enough to crawl up on the sofa and paw at the deadbolt when he wants out and knock on the door (by slamming the screen door) when he wants in.

photo of goose, my snowshoe cat. he is curled up on his scratching post/donut. image is of a black, brown, and white cat with blue eyes and a black heart shape on his nose.

guess what day it is...

also, i’m forever in love with zendaya’s joan of arc dress. no met gala dress will ever beat it—even if i love just about everything rhianna wears to the event.

actress zendaya in 2019 met gala joan of arc dress.

pairs nicely with what i found while i was walking in austin:

the words "forge on” spray-painted on the side of a building

new infowars logo, y’all!

this is what happens when your business model is one in the same as the south park underpants gnomes.

the jetsons lied to us

for some reason, this incident springs to mind.

an unqualified but well meaning individual attempted to restore an old painting of christ that had been nearly destroyed. the result looks like a monkey.

Stina Leicht@stinaleicht· Jan 25

hmmmmm.

I totally need this on a t-shirt for gym day. STAT. (from #MsMarvel 26 by @GWillowWilson and @NicoLeon_)

close up comic panel of ms marvel. though bubble reads: screw it. what am i even saying? what is the point of crossfit if not to punch the occasional dinosaur?

Stina Leicht@stinaleicht· Jan 6

1000x this

image is a post from amandasmildtakes that reads: Part of my mission here is to help people understand how political power works in our government. The minority party has three power levers in Congress: being annoying (forcing votes, procedural delays, questions in hearings), the Byrd bath in budget reconciliation, and the filibuster. That’s all. If you want a politician to “do something”, you should put them in the majority.

if you really want to know why the techbros pressure writers, artists, and other creatives to think ai/llms are inevitable—just have a look at this headline. it’s not just about making a market for a product they spent billions on before it had a commonly desired purpose.

headline reads: nick clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry.

Stina Leicht@stinaleicht· Dec 21

okay. one more and i’m done. i just saw this and am… stunned. but really i’m stopping there. i promised myself i’d try to be less snarky. well… today. but what the fuck is that?

this is a bad rob liefeld drawing of what i can only assume is a grumpy captain america who swallowed a water buffalo.

Stina Leicht@stinaleicht· Dec 21

maybe he can spare one or two for rob liefeld and maybe throw in some feet while he’s at it?

rob liefeld comic of two comic book heros mid fight? wolverine maybe? and some other guy i don’t recognize. hands and feet are blobs. and really, if that’s wolverine it’s only recognizable via the colors he’s wearing. both have more muscles than are entirely necessary. or humanly possible.

my first successful cherry pie! so proud of how this turned out. (for the record i always make my crusts from scratch.) didn’t photograph the pumpkin pies. you’ve seen those before. heh.

homemade cherry pie. am proud of this crust. it’s pretty. top crust has snowflake cut outs on it.

Stina Leicht@stinaleicht· Nov 11

heh.

gerry cnavan says: "the part of the star wars mythos where the incompetent elites who failed to stop the system from sliding into fascism simply go into hiding and do nothing waiting for a bunch of kids to grow up and fix the problem themselves hits pretty hard right now."

Goose isn’t nearly that organized. Why bother when a curse will solve all ills?

image of goose (a snowshoe cat) as a teen, yawning and stretched across a black rug with the zodiac printed on it in white.

ha! my big fat list of horror comedy posts have begun!

sometimes plants have to have their day, john.

image is of a movie prop from the 1950s horror film “day of the triffids.”—it’s a carnivorous plant that walked.

only if the one is The Long Kiss Goodnight. because chefs do that.

something that may make you feel better... have you seen these headlines?

headline from MoneyWeek: AI is a big nothing. Stocks are in a bubble and the most likely outcome is a big fall.

headline from Technology: AI is a Mass-Delusion Event. Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

LA Times headline: Commentary: Say farewell to the AI bubble, and get ready for the crash. The AI frenzy has been fueled by relentless hype, but the dud launched by OpenAI has its former enthusiasts wondering if they’ve been take

headline Barron’s: The Tech Stocks Selloff Spells Trouble for the AI Trade. Why Markets Are Twitchy. Software stocks get hammered, railroad CSX faces mounting pressure, Fed’s July meeting minutes are coming, and more news to start your day.

text reads:
lot of negativity towards Al lately, but consider: are these tools ethical or
environmentally sustainable? No. *but* do they enable great things that
people want? Also no. *but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.

maybe you're not being negative *enough*

dane & i went out for burgers last night. (dan’s, if you’re curious.) dane was wearing a t-shirt i got him. guy at the register couldn’t stop laughing. i said, “science jokes are the best jokes.” he agreed. when we returned for our order, he gave me his science joke. from one geek to another. ❤️
