that one episode of the Muppet Show where Devo showed up and it just turned into a twenty minute experimental film/comedy about how much capitalism sucks, introed by Kermit, and outroed by Statler and Waldorf being absolutely befuddled by it

so I was reading this article about the philosophical problem of whether or not consciousness is an inherent property of the physical mechanics of the brain when I came to this image

which was, to its very minor credit, credited as "AI generated"

and then I just stopped reading there because I'm just gonna assume the rest of the article has been AI-spammed with as much care and attention to detail as this image

just fucking around with a new Illustrator plugin

this morning the person coming by to mow the weeds and shoo off the squatters on the four-years-disused, blighted house next door informed me that, oh yeah, the guy who owns the place has about *fifty* places like this and every single one of his neighbors is about as happy with him as I am

*fifty*, I'd looked at some city records and found five others, but about *fifty*?!? I'd recently heard the local district attorney was prosecuting someone for a couple *dozen* properties in similar condition and figured this guy was too small to bother with, but FIFTY?

so I sent some email about this to my city council member, with some links to the records I'd found, and they just got back to me saying 'thanks, we'll take a look, we looped in the director of the Department of Code Enforcement and someone at the DA's office too".

HELL YEAH THIS IS A GOOD DAY
