panel from a haus of decline comic showing a tortured figure holding their head in their hands with an empty speech bubble pointed upwards

ok time for some real art criticism. this series of kids books is so bad. it looks ai generated but it's not. there's no flow or narrative. it's just random sentences about different trains. and apparently each book took two authors to write

book cover for the children's book "good night trains". "good night" is in comic sans for some reason while "trains" is in a different font. there are not one, but two authors credited on the cover. for a children's book about trains that apparently is just like, random sentences about different trains. the whole thing looks ai generated but this was written in 2014

lol you just know the author fell for this shit hook line and sinker

"To Hanania, however, the key fact about elites is that they are good. Smart, highly educated people who go into professions such as journalism and academia, he writes, do so because they care more about meaning than wealth. They form communities in which people are impressed by intelligence and virtue, not fancy cars. These “meaning-maximizers” come together to establish institutions that provide public goods—arts, science, knowledge—that the free market would not deliver on its own. But they also tend to be much more socially liberal than the broader public, and use their power and prestige to advance their views on contentious social issues, which drives resentment."

unrelated but poking around that post brought me to my favorite bluesky reply thread yet

reply thread on bluesky with the names edited out

first reply: "Generic ballot was like D+5 this time in 2018 (see image below). Everyone need to stop wigging out and go outside." with an attached image of polling from 2018

second reply: "How can they have poll results from August when it's still July?"

third reply: "That was from July 2018"

last reply: "Need better labeling."

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say lindsey graham died from smoking a cigar because the cigar exploded in his face and his pants and socks and underwear flew off and then he dropped the cigar on his penis which also exploded. don’t say stuff like that

reply by leyawn

good morning everyone. his penis exploded

sitting my ass down and learning about jokes

a reply on bluesky

No, not obvious. Jokes are funny.
Traditionally, subverting expectation to trigger reactions of laughter via a punchline.
Please. Explain the punchline. (Don't worry about jokes not being funny if you have to explain them, it doesn't apply here. Not because it's offensive. It's just flaccid.)

reply on bluesky

For the "it's a joke, son" crew, it's not a joke if nobody laughs, and there are many more people than you think who believe in fraudulent archaeology or the Bible and show up at public lectures to assert their beliefs. Even otherwise educated people

two replies on bluesky

I think this is a joke post

It is! But it's not in the least bit funny.
Joking about slavery that wasnt actually slavery is simply never funny. Especially when yr American.

the fare dodger vigilante

After killing a group of racketeers, Sanders confronts several fare-dodging thugs on a bus. He pays their fares so the journey can continue, but lectures them about the impact of their behavior on society. Later, at a hospital, Sanders visits Elsa, a rape victim who was severely beaten during the attack. He offers her a choice: pursue justice through the courts, with no guarantee of success, or endorse his intervention. She chooses to support him. Henry later asks Elsa for a description of her visitor, but she deliberately provides one that does not match Sanders. During a meeting with his business manager, Sanders orders the eviction of non-paying tenants and vows to oppose government efforts to seize vacant properties for migrant housing.

reminds me of this page in an origami book i have: genuine origami by jun maekawa, on tessellation

a page from "genuine origami" by jun maekawa

Complex Models
Peacock (Theme: Miura-ori; Tessellation)
Miura-ori and tessellation
The tail of Peacock has the same structure as Miura-ori, a crease pattern devised by Koryo Miura. Though the angles are different, compositions of mountain and valley creases are the same.
Although well known for map folding, Miura-ori was originally invented in space engineering technology to transport a large flat structure (such as an antenna, a solar panel, or a solar sail that receive the pressure of particles emitted from the Sun) into outer space. This structure is technically called developable double corrugation surface because it can be easily developed onto a plane.
This crease pattern itself had been used in lampshades and other designs before Miura started studying it and revealed its significance in engineering technology.
I designed, without the knowledge of Miura-ori, an earlier version of Peacock that has a similar crease pattern in its tail. It was folded from a rectangle. After learning and analyzing the Miura-ori, I came up with the idea of placing two sets of Miura-ori in different orientations within the square and connecting them at the right angle, thus resulting into this model.
Miura-ori by Koryo Miura
As I discussed about the use of cuts in origami at the end of Varieties of Origami, models that use crease patterns that can be repeated infinitely, as with Miura-ori, are the ones that we can call true origami "with no cuts."
So, what will happen if we fold an infinitely large sheet in Miura-ori? The structure is called "double corrugation" because of the combination of horizontal and vertical pleats. But those two types of pleats are different. As you can see in the tail of Peacock, the sheet will be narrowed in one direction but become only slightly shorter in the other. When applied in engineering, it will be packed more compactly because the angles are closer to the right angle than 45° and 135° of Peacock. Sti…

two panel comic from the hello human resources meme edited:

first panel shows a handsome guy saying "how moderates are seizing the moment in the democratic primary" to a female co-worker who replies "awww, you're sweet"

second panel shows an ugly guy saying "mamdani allies sweep house primaries in big night for left-wing democrats" to the same female co-worker who is now scared and on the phone saying "hello, human resources?!"

"Animal prey are organisms that are hunted, captured, and consumed by predators for sustenance. They play an essential role in ecosystems by transferring energy through the food web. Prey are typically herbivores or omnivores, but smaller carnivores can also become prey for larger predators."

White lotus was so boring I couldn’t watch the episodes in order. I had to lottery them to see which I would watch - that made it much more interesting!
