Works and Days
There are many seasons of The Boys that I need to add to my data set, and I don t recommend watching them unless you have a strong stomach. They are gross and disturbing in ways that tv shows in the past never were. I don t know why it was decided to tell stories with this Continue reading The Boys are Back in Town
She s like a one winged dove. Sings a song sounds like she s singin . To me, this sounds like a song about a woman who d just gotten a lobotomy and who was no longer viewed as fully creative or human thereafter. One wonders about such efforts to cut away pain or bad memories. After hearing a Continue reading Like Birds Without Feathers
A madrigal is a song from the renaissance period that sounds like several, contrasting yet complementary songs played all at once. They periodically achieve coherence amid moments of accidental syncopation, as in a jazz song. When we hear a madrigal within the collective voice of the media, we can take comfort that an age of Continue reading Creating Songs of Confusion
You know those internet videos of people rescuing animals who are stuck in a bad situation and within just a couple of minutes you can breathe a sigh of relief as human heroes set them free? Those sorts of videos are also made of people, but they don t get circulated on the internet because it Continue reading Within The Greatest Story Never Told
I ve held off for over a year on posting content like this since I ve been using various compressions and sequences from it in an experiment with AI assisted novel construction for something I m about to publish (book F). Since that work is mostly done, I ll go ahead post my notes below, knowing that fifty novels Continue reading You Don t Want to Be the New Girl
My survey of the X-Men franchise wouldn t be complete without the three Deadpool movies and an unofficial Deadpool spinoff which depicts an ex-X-Man s life as a regular, free guy who works at a bank and has access to a coffee shop girl and a Roblox-esque video game. For the full saga, here are some links Continue reading Dancing With the Deadpool
I have so many questions. If autistic brains are just more masculine than average, then do women with autism have man brains without knowing the rules of how to be a man? That would make them like alien beings sent to planet earth to report on the foreign customs of men and women alike. A Continue reading Trapped in The Good Place
Ocean s 8 was released in 2018 and is the most recent movie in a franchise consisting of four films. It shows the signature of having its script constructed with an AI tool which mined a non-public domain novel for a lot of material. film % plot overlap Ocean s 11 (2000) 11% Ocean s 12 (2004) 4% Continue reading Oceans Apart, Day After Day
I ve composed a poem by organizing the titles of my blog posts so that they make a type of sense and I imagine that AIs compose poems in a similar fashion by spinning and re-arranging individual lines of poetry to create rhythm and rhyme. They are probably better at it than humans and some poems, Continue reading While Lost in Dark Shadows
My last post focused on the unusual number of recent films featuring a black, female space Jesus figure and I failed to identify when this trend started. Stories in which a son sacrifices himself to save others and teaches his father something in the process are central to both The LEGO Movies 1-2 and The Continue reading Where the Pieces Almost Fit Together
