people are talking about the reading crisis but Audible just fed me this ad on FB look at that crap cover. I don't think it's AI, but it's pure slop. that post-LITTLE MERMAID style of stylized faces and body proportions. incompetent lighting. it looks like trying to make action figures fuck.
beautiful and sunny yesterday slightly north of the Arctic Circle. 60°F and it felt warm. there was a family sunbathing on the beach. imagine how starving it must have been to get any Norwegians to leave. gorgeous and the farm boy in me was deeply concerned about the lack of carrying capacity.
"It is estimated that several hundred lures and kilometers of fishing line are lost in Saltstraumen every day during the summer season."
I hate this TRAINZ bullshit. no one is going 320 km/h through the Alps. Christ, I wish. the maximum speed of Swiss trains is well under the Acela maximum. meanwhile, I-95 is reliable and point-to-point, no lugging luggage from train to mass transit or cab (or both).

"we need a senatorial candidate that will bring together Sanders and Warren and Schumer. all the bases covered."
I get emails. this is from the Foundation for Intentional Community, a nonprofit dedicated to non-sponsored 2026-style communes and utopian communities. the vibe-cession is hitting it hard. not that people aren't interested, but that people are interested in a creepy way.
if this age structure graph from the Census Bureau is accurate, there are ~500 thousand fewer 8-year-olds than 18-year-olds resident in the US. what that means for colleges and universities in the country in the near future I leave as an exercise for the reader. www.census.gov/library/stor...
