saw this victorian era cigarette card (the brand was based in rochester) which got me thinking about tins of loose tobacco i/we got when living in blue hill maine 30 years ago this summer. remembered the green tins but didnt have anything else to go on name-wise. even after seeing the tin it took a while for the name to click into place, three castles. was good stuff though almost too moist.

Carin Goldberg, 69, Who Transformed Book and Album Cover Design, Dies

She was in the vanguard of female designers who looked to the past to upend the cool modernism of the ’70s with a style that became prominent in the ’80s.

the amazon algorithm really has got my number. love to know the magic confluence of searches that inspired this to show up on my home page.

takes a lot for me to side with a drum circle against a shipping container but.... honestly doesnt seem like it would be that effective but i guess its a deterrent.

AI AI Ohhhh shit

What is the AI bot ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a prototype dialogue-based AI chatbot capable of understanding natural human language and generating impressively detailed human-like written text.

It is the latest evolution of the GPT – or Generative Pre-Trained Transformer – family of text-generating AIs.

#1 trending on twitter is. #RIPTwitter.

musk fired half the staff then gave an ultimatum to the rest to quit w/ 3 month severance or work your ass off indefinitely from back in the office which he also mandated. one post i just read said 75% of the remaining employees are taking the offer. possibly those on work visas cant quit. hence the dire hashtag. everyone acting like the titanic is sinking as they say their goodbyes. feels like its too big to fail but man what a clusterfuck musk unleashed. epic hubris.

i am half hoping that musks twitter implodes via mass exodus but then i think i would deprive myself of eye-rolling stories like this and the snark that accompanies it.
