Imagine blowing a huge bubble in your sleep and floating away dangling from it like a cartoon character, drifting in the wind and landing somewhere else and thinking that was the afterlife but really you’re just in Illinois or something
my first suicide attempt was at 8 years old and i decided i "didn't want to make it obvious" so i did what my 8 y/o mind came up with and tried to fall asleep with gum in my mouth bc my mom told me that was super dangerous. i had a packet of hubba bubba in my mouth and fell asleep laying up and the only thing in my mind was "goodbye cruel world"
this is what two years of “permanent underclass” memes and scaring the normies on primetime TV gets you
big AI brought this on itself
maybe that was the point
i just started scribbling whatever a while back and nobody has ever called me on it. it’s not the 1970s, nobody actually checks signatures for similarity anymore
i can barely remember any of my childhood birthday parties or Big Events or whatever but what stands out the most are the small/forgettable things that encoded real attention and attachment, or the absence of it. times that felt like simply being loved
the most fascinating thing is that tumblr banning porn caused the quality of the average user to step-change upward overnight. everything about the site/platform/community improved so much when they removed the porn *and the people who were there for it*
there’s a lesson there
white people’s #1 weakness is being autistically oblivious when other races hate them
however, this ability can be learned
watch on mute and look at his eyes the entire time he’s talking and draw your own conclusions
Seth Rogen says he and his wife are now more grateful than ever that they decided not to have children he’s not afraid to explain why.
He admits they used to question whether they’d made the right decision, but now their conversations have shifted to, “Honestly, thank God we don’t have children.”
His reasoning? They’re in the prime of their lives, understand themselves better than ever, and have the freedom to pursue their careers, enjoy life, and build the kind of relationship they’ve always wanted.
But Seth took it a step further, saying he sees people with children struggling to find the same time for work and personal enjoyment that he and his wife have.
“I seem to get a lot more active enjoyment out of not having kids than anyone I know seems to get out of having kids.”
That statement will probably divide people. Some see raising children as life’s greatest joy, while others believe a fulfilling life doesn’t have to include parenthood.
Do you think Seth has a point, or is there a kind of happiness you can only understand after having children?
for me this woman is a unicorn, literally rarer than one in a million
also how is the bmi distributed are we talking belly or hips/ass/honkers
reminder:
- you lost ww2

this is brilliant and a perfect example of why existing pros/creatives will still benefit most from AI and it won’t be as “democratizing” or destructive as people thing
most “AI content” sucks because the people using it do not have the taste and skill required to wield it effectively. they make slop because they are satisfied with slop.
AI is not inherently slop. if you know precisely what you want, if you can describe it, and if you can furnish the tools with sufficient reference (either image/sound/video or sufficiently detailed prompts), it will do what you ask and produce content that does not trigger the slop reflex. then, you use those tools to generate the coverage (footage) you need, and *edit them* yourself into a serious product. add some production magic (background noise, room tone, music) and suddenly the AI goes from “this sucks” to “this is basically indistinguishable from a high-budget professional production”.
the thing is that all the pros/studios have access to the people with fantastic taste AND the money to deploy it effectively. they will make use of new tech and absolutely dominate
HOWEVER: newcomers have more power than ever before, they only need to wield it properly
we’ve come a long way from 405
If your AI characters sound fake, the fix is almost always in how you write and DIRECT the dialogue in your prompt.
I recently started on the dialogue-heavy scenes for my AI feature film about Beethoven, and too many of the lines kept coming out wrong.
They’d sound too theatrical, too monotone, or too much like a practice read-through between actors.
(all this despite the fact that Seedance 2.5 is fantastic when it comes to realism.)
So through a whole lot of trial and error, I've found that these 5 things made the biggest impact on the quality of the dialogue delivery in my generations:
1. Paying close attention to the written punctuation used.
2. Breaking long lines into shorter ones, with intentional pauses.
3. Using bodily actions as punctuation (this one gave the biggest improvement BY FAR! In the attached clip, note the sniffles in between Beethoven's lines. That alone made the delivery feel much more natural.)
4. Using "anchor gestures" (he lifts his finger as if to say "one sec")
5. Just split your generations in two (stupid simple, but it really makes a difference.)
So if your characters keep sounding like they're reading from a teleprompter, give this a try!
“The classic Parisian sandwich of HAM and CHEESE with PICKLES on BUTTERED BREAD” yeah man we have that already it’s called a sandwich
The jambon-beurre—a classic Parisian sandwich of ham and butter on a baguette—is having a moment in New York. Recently, the sandwich has been cropping up at shops and boulangeries across the city. But the best jambon-beurre is also the newest, Helen Rosner writes. It can be found at Richaud Petite Bakery, a novel effort by the actor turned baker Richaud Valls. “The reason this sandwich has won my heart more than others in the city is the torpedo of bread they’re tucked into,” Rosner continues. “Which sighs and crackles, an entire universe of complexity and depth in its crumb.” Read more: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/qW…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a jambon-fromage, as there's cheese in it. A jambon-beurre is just ham, butter and (optionally) some bits of cornichon on a half-baguette

I still remember the time my mom took me to see a Schwarzenegger movie on a school night because it was so fun to do that together
