You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it — pure cotton, pure wool, some Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn. The buttons are sewn with a firm, stiff shank. You put the jacket on. It fits beautifully. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable.

idk if anyone else had this experience as a kid but chat gpt etc and its effects on critical thinking reminds me of using a walkthrough for a video game and then getting the urge to look at the walkthrough for any minor difficulty encountered instead of thinking about it

A big divide in attitudes towards AI, I think, is in whether you can easily write better than it and it all reads like stilted, inauthentic kitsch; or whether you’re amazed by it because it makes you seem more articulate than you’ve ever sounded in your life

@adityab They also seem to completely miss what makes art special to begin with. I have NO interest in generated plagiarism collage images. Art is beautiful because it’s intentional. It doesn’t need to be perfectly executed, it needs be communicative. Show me the world through your eyes.

Not just as a tennis player but as a fan of this sport it’s sad to see this new off court coaching rule. Tennis is special because you are out there alone. Why are you trying to change the beauty of this game

TL:
Sent our Switch in for repairs.
It was probably replaced.
There were some dumb stickers on it.
They carefully removed them and returned them in a folder.
Maybe it was something important.
Maybe it involved an important memory.

@kytalli having 3 bottoms and 3 jackets that fit you and match with the rest of your wardrobe? must be nice

I don't think I can in all honesty mourn for Rooster Teeth after all that's happened and as it exists now.

But I can mourn for what it once was. I can remember the impact that the creators had on the internet as a whole and on me.

‘So, do you have any hobbies?’

‘I do Italian on Duolingo. I’m on a 2,386-day streak.’

‘Duemilatrecentottantasei giorni? È davvero impressionante!’

‘Oh… no, sorry. I don’t speak Italian. I just do it on Duolingo.’
