Excited to try the specimen builder from typespecimens.xyz/ to explore typography.
My response to this AI Karen:
Hey Jennifer, if you have to distort an argument about parental responsibility into “you don't care about children,” perhaps your argument isn't nearly as strong as you think it is. Caring about children and expecting parents to exercise judgment aren't mutually exclusive. Moral outrage is not a substitute for intellectual honesty.
How cool is it that you can borrow these books at internet archive and capture your childlike spirit again. samizdat.co/cyoa/books/
I appreciate a movie with impeccably beautiful costumes and design details, but these are always secondary to the story and the characters. The story is what endures long after the sparkle of glamour has faded. Audiences remember what the characters were feeling: their facial expressions, body language, and dialogue. That’s why movies from the 1980s and 1990s, made without CGI or expensive effects, often hold up better than many films made today. People tend to forget modern movies almost as soon as the credits roll because there is too much emphasis on shiny effects, vulgarity, and unnecessary sex scenes rather than actual storytelling and intelligent, compelling dialogue.
How come liberal politicians never talk about giving their own money even though they're rich? Ro Khanna's rich, Mamdani's rich, JB Pritzer's rich but all I ever hear is them talking about taxing someone who is richer than them. If they care so much about working class people like they said, then why are they not using their own money to fund the schools and healthcare?
Do people laugh the same around different people? For me, I laugh very softly in a way that makes me look pretty in public but in private with my friends or family, I laugh without caring how I look.
What's cool about AI is that you don't need to revolve yourself around a software anymore. Instead, the software evolves around you.
If you need an icon or a logo inspiration, symbools.com is a great place to explore.
When reading books, I like to write down my thoughts as I go. For articles or when learning about new topics, I’ve started asking AI to quiz me right after I finish, then reviewing the material so I don’t forget what I’ve read. Ultimately, my goal is to avoid shallow reading altogether.
