Republicans meanwhile within hours were suspending elections and redrawing districts out of existence”

Screenshot of Garbage Day newsletter: “Which is actually very exciting for the deeply pathetic armchair experts on X, the everything app, who have started referring to moments like this as "monitoring the situation." They've been fantasizing for months about some kind of bar where they could stare at a bunch of OSINT dashboards and, well, mostly just gamble on world events. Like a Buffalo Wild Wings, but for profiting off human misery. Which, I guess, is already the business model for Buffalo Wild Wings.” Included is a photo of a restaurant/bar where many patrons (mainly men) are sitting on high chairs, surrounded by walls of screens screens showing charts, stats, probably stock tickers et al, and sports paraphernalia.

Clipped paragraph from america2.news article about Jeffrey Epstein’s Russian affiliations and that Rep Thomas Massie is also aligned with Russia working to expose Jeffrey Epstein files to cause global disorder: “10) Russia created Epstein. Russia exposed Epstein. This is a clear strategy of demoralization. No one has heaped more praise on Rep. Thomas Massie (the primary sponsor of the law that forced the release of these documents) than Russia's proxies. Russia knew that the files would reveal Epstein's geopolitical manipulations. The hope is that we lose faith in elites, in government, and in democracy. This sets the stage for escalation. We should be careful about falling for this trap”

I can’t speak for everyone, but my mind tends to treat writing an article, making a video, writing a song, cooking a meal, drawing an image, and, apparently, designing software the same way. It’s not a matter of just “generating” something perfect from my head, but exploring the tension that exists between what I’m imagining and the limitations of my stupid meat body. That’s actually the exciting part. It also lets me figure out if something has turned out wrong or just resulted in a happy accident. (The following is highlighted for emphasis) Vibe coding, like every new trend coming out of Silicon Valley, turns this process — the entire act of creativity, itself — into a slot machine. One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won’t understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you’ve done, but maybe you’ll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C’mon, just pay a bit more.

Xylaria hypoxylon (Candle-Snuff Fungus). The fruit bodies are black at the base and white above with, at first, a simple horn-like shape that later becomes branched like an antler. They usually occur in small clusters on dead and decaying wood of broad-leaved trees. Up to 8cm tall. All Year. Inedible.
Phallus impudicus (Stinkhorn). This is an unmistakable species commonly found in woods and gardens and usually detected by its smell of bad drains. The young fruit body is like a jelly-covered egg encased in a whitish skin which emerges above the ground and gives rise to a stout white stem, capped by a slimy dark olive-green mass of spores. The smell attracts flies which remove the spores by feeding on them and, in so doing, reveal a white honeycomb texture beneath. The young egg is edible but is an acquired taste. Up to 25cm tall. Spring-Autumn. Edible. Mutinus caninus (Dog Stinkhorn). Although basically similar in structure to the preceding species, the Dog Stinkhorn is a smaller fungus with a whitish or yellow-buff stem, and with an orange-red tip beneath the olive-coloured spore mass. The smell, although still unpleasant, is much less pronounced than that of the larger species. Up to 10cm tall.
Exidia plana (Witches' Butter). These glistening, gelatinous, jet black fruit bodies which grow in clusters on the dead stumps and logs of broad-leaved trees (especially oaks) can assume a distorted brain-like appearance. They are often confused with those of the quite unrelated and fairly common ascomycete, Bulgariainquinans which has an astonishingly similar general appearance but they can always be distinguished by the minute pimples on the surface. Up to 5cm diam. All year. Inedible.
Amanita virosa (Destroying Angel). There is something decidedly eery about Amanita virosa, for its immaculate toadstools, pure white in their seeming innocence as they stand among the quiet of some lonely woodland, harbour a poison as deadly as that of the Death Cap. The name Destroying Angel sums up the strange and sinister aura that this species has, particularly in northen Europe where it is most common. Apart from colour, the fungus is notable for its large, bag-like volva, its stem, which is often slightly curved and decidedly shaggy, and for sweet and rather sickly smell; all characters that help to distinguish it from white forms of Amanita citrina which is shown on the preceding page. All the cautionary notes given on p.38 in relation to 4. phalloides apply to 4. virosa also and indeed its rather stronger superficial resemblance to the young stages of such Agaricus species as the Horse Mushroom render it particularly dangerous 8-12 x 6-12cm. Summer-Autumn. Deadly Poisonous.

remember: chatgpt doesn't actually know anything. It is a statistical probability model that constructs an answer based on the words you've written. so when you ask it something, it constructs an answer because it is statistically likely to match the words and inferred "meaning" of your question it doesn't actually know anything
