The Nonsensical Ravings of a Lunatic Mind

I Am An AI Hater: "I am not here to make a careful comprehensive argument, because people have already done that. If you're pushing slop or eating it, you wouldn't read it anyway. You'd ask a bot for a summary and forget what it told you, then proceed with your day, unchanged by words you did not read and ideas you did not consider."

How to not build the Torment Nexus: "I guess what I'm saying is that it's getting close to impossible to be in this industry -- at the moment -- without being on the Torment Nexus Team. And lest you think 'at the moment' is load-bearing... well, I wouldn't lean too hard on it. I don't see shit improving too soon."

How to Tell the Difference Between a Lone Wolf and a Coordinated Effort by the Radical Left: McSweeney's, no humour beyond the obvious repeated dark variety, plenty of links and documentation.

And, not about the present and thus more cheerful reading, Your Review: Joan of Arc: "This is, then, an agnostic's review of the evidence for Joan of Arc - artillerist, fraudbuster, confirmed saint, and Extremely Documented Person." Fascinating reading.

Thursday I stopped at the farmers market to get eggs, which they were out of. I did get a thing of Concord grapes, though. Also a thing of raspberries, because they were slightly cheaper if you were already buying something else. I have been marketed to.

Not that I knew what I was going to do with them. So on Friday I got a thing of whipping cream, so I could have crepes and berries and whipped cream.

Crepes take forever to make, though, and awhile back Erin sent me a recipe for what's basically a crepe made in the oven in a 9x13 pan. The texture isn't right (too cake-y) but the taste is.

Anyway, after having done that for breakfast for three days running I am a) out of whipped cream and raspberries and b) pretty confident in being able to make it. The general idea is "make sheet-pan crepe, spread whipped cream and raspberries, roll up, slice and eat". (The original called for strawberries, cream, nutella, and dust with cocoa powder, but I don't so much like strawberries and am meh on chocolate things.) I cut the recipe in half since otherwise it's too thick for me to roll well, and learned to let it cool substantially before adding the whipped cream.

Very yum, kinda fancy, and pretty easy.
