@futurebird That would make a good t-shirt, probably white text on a black shirt.

@futurebird I saw this happen in myself due to viewing so many photos online where people worked hard hit all of the metrics of a “good” image. I started to prefer trying to take “bad” or “wrong” images that I still like. Also, no edits, crops, color correction allowed, just to make it more of a challenge. It’s a pretty fun game, actually, thanks computers!

@futurebird That is really nice of you to say! Most of them are just on my camera roll. The closest thing I have is a Pixelfed page - they don’t all break the rules, but it keeps me amused & observant. https://pixelfed.social/extinpanther

@historyofpunkrock What has happened to time? Culturally this still seems like yesterday. I heard the Ramones last week and they still sound fresh. I feel like we’re carrying 60-70 years of pop culture in our heads at all times now. Ok, off to watch Magnum P.I.

@futurebird !! "Some of the ants in the men's possession were giant African harvester ants (Messor cephalotes) which are valued at anywhere between around $100 to as much as $220 each. Had the ant smugglers been successful, they would have made a lot of money."

@futurebird Very interesting. I am thinking, does William Gibson know about this? I can imagine a Dyneema satchel full of ants in tubes.

@futurebird Side note, I randomly visited the Franklin Mint in 1995. They had a small store filled with every wacko chess set and commemorative plate. I still feel lucky for having the experience.

@futurebird Oh wow, that is amazing. A sword subscription! Imagine that in the middle ages. If I can dig up a photo I’ll post it. On a related note, did you ever see the ads for “mint” bags of coins that ran in local papers in the 90s/2000s? Intense elderly funds bait. But, the writing style of the ad copy was VERY reminiscent of the writing style of current political sales jobs. Gee-wiz and pushy at the same time. I will find one if I can, super-instructive.

@futurebird I found a good example of the scammy newspaper coin ads on Reddit. I would read these and marvel at the person who wrote the copy. Shameless, but they knew their marks and how to get under their skin. Join the coin bag Illuminati or you’re a fool. The guy in the ad is wearing a WWII veteran hat! We went from this to forwarded emails to social media and now LLMs. “Remember this, we cannot stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with nearly 3 pounds of Gov't issued coins we're guessing they're going to go quick," said Lynne.” The use of run-on sentences in these ads is fascinating.

@futurebird That’s the approach we take as often as possible - go directly to the company we need a thing from. Also, the 4-million-square-foot automated Amazon warehouse we have out by the airport would like to have a word with us about reduced shipping costs.

@futurebird That is cool, I will check it out. I wonder how the (eminently dumb) de minimis problems will affect that sort of shipping.

@futurebird Oh my, I wonder if they need to store the giant skeletons offsite in Jersey. Or maybe there is a business that rents them?

@futurebird Well that makes a lot of sense, I’m not sure that existed in the late 90s when I lived in Manhattan. Today it would be a container they haul back and forth with an air fryer, any luggage larger than carry on, one extra chair, and apparently a giant plastic skeleton.

@futurebird Michaelangelo’s Last Judgement comes to mind, as the distraught damned at the bottom of the painting and pulled by tentacles into hell, but perhaps if up the rate we can damn enough souls we can finally reach escape velocity…

@historyofpunkrock Impeccable design work on this album.
