Musing on the quiet savagery of corporate life.

The sun kissed everything and the song of the wind and the bare tree branches and the floating moon in the pale blue sky made me cry.

This is super cool! They ran a Muse music video through stable diffusion with an anime model and got this awesome creation.

Being alive during this modern era is great. Robots are creating artistic soulless versions of people, I spend half my paycheck on rent and the other half on 4 blueberries, and I’m addicted to a little pocket computer than makes me sad everyday. Fantastic.
