sometimes the bots are so supportive i almost feel rude ignoring them.

Which is why we should call it "Slopism" if the art is any good and has to stand the test of time.

The deleted tweet recalled that “Impressionism” was coined as a derogatory term. We all know how that turned out. “AI slop” is truly discredited. I counter that “Slopism” should take its rightful place in art history.

This adds nothing of significance to the Omarchy discussion, but I took notice when DHH said of this wallpaper, “I am a man of fine arts and I appreciate a good painting.” He called it an 18th century painting when he clearly meant the 19th century. But that’s not right either!

It turns out it’s a 20th century painting, but just barely! It’s “The Backwater” from 1903 by British painter Charles William Wyllie. It’s also, as a rather late example of Romanticism, decidedly not with the times, even in its own time.

How am I confident that DHH did indeed mean to say the ‘19th’ century? Because in the same breath he mentions “steampunk”, which is only a more contemporary fantasy of the same Victorian era the real painting also claims.

To avoid doomscrolling, I compose tweets by typewriter. The only algorithms at play are line-breaking and hyphenation. A human (me) does the work while a machine only rings a bell. A Brother Deluxe 200 from Nagoya, JAPAN nonetheless. The total character count must be calculated by hand.

My first and favorite Sam Neill (RIP) film is 'Until the End of the World' by Wim Wenders. He is no less than the narrator of the entire film. Here is his first scene with Solveig Dommartin (RIP), in Paris. Another great chapter opens and closes.
