A distant voice from a terminal at the edge of the world, overlooking the rough sea. Transfem, out and on HRT for over 10 years, with work experience in healthcare. Here to help my trans comrades in any way I can.

  • It’s AI yeah. Look at all the tech on the table in the middle, it all just dissolves into sludge. Also, it’s hard to articulate, but there’s something about the way current image generation models generate transparent materials, such as that squat little water bottle in the foreground, that always jumps out to me. I suspect because it’s primarily learned what drink container should look like from overlit advertisements.









  • The most bourgeois sport is Formula 1. Every driver is a child of immense privilege, sometimes literally royalty. Half the competition is the teams rules-lawyerimg each other over minutia to convince the race stewards to issue penalties on the other teams that can run in the millions of euros. Each car costs like a hundred million euros to build. Teams don’t even have the pretense of national identity, but instead are the showcase R&D labs multinational megacorporations. Ticket prices start relatively high, but VIP passes offering white glove luxury accommodations range up to the tens of thousands of euros and beyond.
