sorry to hear about your neighbor! i didn't know this story, but of course it makes sense that you'd know each other, living so close! he sounds singularly charming.

i'm also one who consumes the absolute minimum news to be informed and then moves on. same with social media. i find both tiresome and anxiety inducing. might leave a group text for the same reason.

although dall-E was inescapable for a bit there, i had never heard of midjourney before tuesday, when my office took a tour of the harvard visualization lab, probably the highest-tech space on campus. they have all 8k screens and are set up for all sorts of AR and VR experiences for teaching purposes. (hilariously, their web presence is very old school: https://hwpi.harvard.edu/eps-visualization-research-laboratory/home) but it's been a steady stream of AI-art news since! is it one of those things where the news were there before but i'm only now noticing them now that i've been more immersed? so weird.

finally, i'm gonna seek out that article about locked-in syndrome. it will be a comfort for my sister, too: you may not remember that my brother-in-law can't really communicate beyond blinks as a result of a TBI suffered in afghanistan.

love those photos of jane and emma in their matching bottoms!
