...wait...what...is...that?"

Had a fiery imagined convo with Sykes & Picot about their botched map-drawing. 🤯 Spoiler: they had no clue what they were doing! Check out how they handle my roasting and admit their blunders. 🔥 #HistoryRoast #SykesPicot #WhatWereTheyThinking

Lines in the Sand: A Conversation with Sykes and Picot - JB

If Sykes and Picot had a time-traveling chat, they'd trade pencil for baguette and chaos for clarity, revealing that geopolitics is best not drawn with spaghetti or blindfolds!

JB - Its all in your head

Calling the terminus of a campaign a 'closing argument' is a great way to remind the electorate that the candidate referenced is a narc.

Old public relations photos are STRANGE. This one from General Electric in the early 60s shows a woman having her dress zipped (or is it UNZIPPED?) by MOBOT, not a true robot, but a remotely operated manipulator system. What's happening here? The first cybersex? Employee harassment? Or a robot cosplay of the infamous Hattie McDaniel corset scene in GONE WITH THE WIND? SO MANY QUESTIONS!

Prepping for session tomorrow and I honestly have no idea what to expect. The party has fought their way into the underground lair of a criminal gang and is about to confront the boss about something *they* stole from *him* that he actually stole from the king. But I legit have no idea what they are thinking is going to happen and what they hope to get out of it.

If you want to see how Silicon Valley is apparently completely clueless of the implications of some of the tools they are developing, then the photo editor in Google's Pixel 9 is a classic example of #WhatWereTheyThinking

No one’s ready for this

With AI photo editing getting easy and convincing, the world isn’t prepared for an era where photographs aren’t to be trusted.

I saw what might be the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.

It was during this morning’s drive in to work.

It was a Tesla cybertruck. It was not silver/chrome colored like all of the uggo’s I had seen before. It was worse. It was this awful orange/rust/blood filled vomit color. It was heinous.

At first I wished I could have grabbed a photo of it (I was driving and couldn’t pull it off safely) but now? Now I’m glad that I can spare you the horror of its grossness.

You’re welcome, but also… it’s still out there. The ugliest thing on Earth.

Beware.

I'm sorry, but Markup's syntax for numbered lists is FECKING TERRIBLE.

It simply should not happen that I can type something like:

4. (item four)
5. (item five)

...and get this:

  • (item four)
