I was looking through some old vinyl in a store yesterday and found an album from the 50s or 60s called Songs Everybody Knows and I didn't recognize a single song on the list.

    Is not every man alive familiar with the cautionary tale of Scrotuclese?

    Yes, obviously, but it's spelled Scrotucles. There's no e at the end.

    Ah yes Borble the great and powerful. Alas the final story was a cautionary tale that still has relevancy today.

    My experience reading 'The third policemen' by Flann O'Brien.

    Also it has a perfect description about how AI generated imagery is different to the real pictures.

    My surroundings had a strangeness of a peculiar kind, entirely separate from the mere strangeness of a country where one has never been before. Everything seemed almost too pleasant, too perfect, too finely made. Each thing the eye could see was unmistakable and unambiguous, incapable of merging with any other thing or of being confused with it. The colour of the bogs was beautiful and the greenness of the green fields supernal. Trees were arranged here and there with far-from-usual consideration for the fastidious eye.

    It is impossible…for any number which is a power greater than the second to be written as the sum of two like powers. I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain.

    A lot of religious symbolism in movies goes over my head ‘cause I was never that religious. Apparently the movie Men was rife with religious symbolism and I was just confused af throughout the whole thing.
