It's called the "I weep for the future"

No shit?! Ya think, dummy? It's almost as if that's how war works....

Edited to add: Referring to Putin as a dummy, not the OP.

Oh I know. But this is the internet after all...

In his defence, it was a really good price. They gave him the black-light special pricing.

50% off if you promise to never shine a black light in there.

Maximum Overdrive is crazy fun schlock. It's not even a guilty pleasure for me; I simply unironically and full-throatedly love it.

Not all movies need to be Citizen Kane. Sometimes a coke-fueled, overly acted B-movie is exactly what the soul needs.

I was actually super sceptical of both her and the show in general. I was a big fan of the original and wasn't too sure about being on a "network" instead of on something like Comedy Central or someplace where they could be a little more risque.

But I was pleasantly surprised that CBS is allowing them to be a lot more blue than I thought they would. And Taylor Tomlilnson is ridiculously charming. I had never seen her in anything before and I gotta say, I unironically adore her. (get your mind out of the gutter...I'm old enough to be her father)

Yay! I get to be the Well Actually... guy.

Though as yet unproven, modern evidence has begun to point to the Harappan culture and language of the Indus valley to be older than Sumerian by quite a few centuries.

The language is as yet undeciphered, and there is debate between scholars on whether it's a "language" proper, or just series' of "pictographic representations."

As a (former) Archaeology Major, I believe the former simply because what we know about the Indus Valley culture is that they were as complex and organised and advanced as the traditional "cradle of civilisation"; which shouldn't be possible without advanced written language.

I preferred the beloved 80s cartoon, "The Real Spoopies"

No no. I get that. My rant was more about the existence of A.I logo creators in general. A soulless program can't create anything except soulless icons, which is not what a professional logo is about.

In the professional graphic design world, a logo isn't just an "icon".

Any graphic designer worth his/her salt first asks some questions, gets to know the type of business, what the owner wants to convey, etc... and then creates something that reflects that. It's why illustrator software will usually have a sort of "scratch board" functionality, where you can quickly develop various iterations until you get to the one that says what you want it to say.

Generating a shitty AI logo not only denigrates actual iconography, but cheapens the professionals who struggle in that field every day as their own work get's less and less appreciated.

Rant over...
