Amen. This really gets to the heart of the matter:
The path of AI is to whittle down all human expression and thought to a single, homogeneous, reductive voice.
The path of human creativity is to express new thoughts, viewpoints, "mistakes" that continue to take us places we've never been before.
Shut up and look at Alan Davis' Batman.
flintleaf and firesky
eyes lost in deep and spark

Oh yes, there must have been so many in the part of Indiranagar where you stayed!
Two sprawling raintrees, heavy with leaves and those feathery red-orange flowers of theirs, beside a road and amongst other trees

Been thinking about this and you know what? It was so bad and so over-priced I actually feel cheerful. What a nutty world!
This channel focuses on the style of various famous women. It was an interesting lens through which to view Polly Jean!
Disaster of Delft: gunpowder store explodes in 1654, leveling nearly the entire city, & Egbert van der Poel records over and over the horror & shock of the survivors. Today is his explosive day.
Sometimes I don't even agree with the poem that made me write it!
Love this.
No matter what, we're lucky this album exists

I've just read one of the worst things I've ever had the misfortune of reading and I can't tell any of you because it would cause unnecessary drama.
That's the one!
