I tried reading some of it aloud in her cadence. This would be absolutely incredible

Reading Ken Liu's translation of the Dao De Jing and at some point I started hearing the text, in my mind, in Laurie Anderson's voice. Now I desperately want a real recording of this

@gbraad @nolan This sucks shit.

@rootsandcalluses STRAP is "parts" backwards so that's probably what "back parts" means. No idea about the penguin!!

... Actually, I went and looked it up: "penguin" is the definition part of the clue and there's a type of penguin named the chinstrap penguin

the brutalist-embroidery labeling job on this bag has got me more tempted to steal an item from a hotel room than i have ever been

@technomancy personally i don't value the opinion of anyone who doesn't spend at least one of every five minutes on mastodon

@mattmcirvin @mekkaokereke go bro go broke

No creature loiters nonchalantly like a crow.
Like: how's it going bud? I'm only sitting here
because it's hella comfy of a spot. Chill, bro.
And as I walk if he should happen to appear
upon a wire, and then a fence, and then a branch...
Coincidence. He's headed this way too, perchance,
for reasons of his own, inscrutable to me.
How could I, with my blinkered human mind, presume to know
the motives of a crow?

But when, "on accident," I drop a peanut — oops! —
All pretense, and his body, falls at last. He swoops
to claim his secret patiently awaited prize.
I see it was his angle all along, 'cause I have eyes.
I think I'm so damn smart and see right through him, but
he did get me to drop the nut.

@orange_lux Thank you! I tried hard to convey what is so funny about these pictures

@lrhodes If the LLM links to authoritative human-authored content, why can't we just have a search that returns that without the intermediary?
