A thank-you for the church volunteers who run the Christmas card delivery round: the posting box at the back of church, cards sorted by street on the hall tables, rounds walked in the dark and the donations counted for charity. A photo of the sorting tables or the box, as a jigsaw, with your note at the end.
🔗 The mustache baby was AI
In sum, we found the video displayed at several signs of either being created or manipulated with AI, including inconsistent hairs and other facial features, an AI content label on a very early TikTok post and a duration exactly matching a common AI video length. Therefore, we rated the clip as fake.
I saw this video the other day and I can’t even lie; I was sitting there trying to rationalize a baby being born with some rare disorder that makes it come out looking like a tiny Joe Dirt.
I’m turning into my parents 😕

Neil Young Sues Trump for $10 Million Over Use of “Rockin’ in the Free World”
Young’s latest filing also argues that the song itself makes for an especially strange fit with Trump. The 1989 track contrasts its anthemic chorus with images of poverty, addiction, homelessness, and social decay. The complaint puts its position clearly: “In short, the song is the opposite of everything Donald J. Trump stands for.”
Fuck yeah, Neil Young. Artists like him, Roger Waters, and Bruce Springsteen aren’t afraid to use their platforms to stand for something.
Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran is becoming a one-man band.

I loved the term Big Undo so much, of course I had to get the domain. I started putting up my usual placeholder site but realized I should do this page in Markdown, not HTML. It looks fabulous. Markdown is right. It's sobriety, go back to the beginning and put the potency in the ideas, give writers the space to write. Get the F out of my way with your freaky character limits. Anyway I'm full of manifesto these days. The money people strangled the web. I think it's time for the creative people to make it work for real.

Dear Mozilla, remove ads and AI on FIrefox and maybe we can consider Firefox again.
