Whenever I see people saying that generative AI art is great because it can satisfy your exact personal preferences, I think of this:

1936

Nazis Would Award Hitler Nobel PRize

Helsingfors - Finnish and German newspapers suggest that the Nobel Prize should be awarded to Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler.

The German leader could claim the coveted prize on various counts, they say. Before the war he was an architect and several of his drawings and paintings are extant.

His book "Mein Kampf" has been a best seller. In fact, it is compulsory for libraries and schools to buy it.

But it is rather the Peace Prize which the Fuehrer's admirers have in mind. They claim that thanks to him Europe still enjoys peace.

In 1938, the Nazis renamed horses.

NAZIS RENAME HORSES

Police Mounts Tagged According to Year of Birth

BERLIN - The German law of system and order made itself felt in a new field today, when it was announced that hereafter all horses belonging to the police forces in the Reich must be named alphabetically according to the year in which they were born -- those born in 1931 must have names beginning with A, those born in 1932 names beginning with B, and so on.

Suggestions for suitable named published today include Aida, Arthur, Amalasuntha, Adelaide, Ballade, Bronislawa, Chloe and Cyrus. Horses born before 1931 may keep their present names. All others will have to be renamed according to the new system.

This will definitely solve the housing crisis (for cars)

I feel there's a 10% chance the province is going to fire a City Council in the next year.

Not everything, just a certain number of the countries.

Export tax on road salt is an idea to ponder.

@paulisci.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 3:20 AM

Fully agree. A lovely film, too.

@paulisci.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 2:11 AM

Honestly finding @thetransportpolitic.com a reason to be hopeful.

@paulisci.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 12:44 AM

Glad you liked it! Mine too - it's a fun movie to think about after, too.

@paulisci.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 11:24 PM

Hah, oh no, what pressure. Hope you enjoy(ed)!

@paulisci.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 9:07 PM

Good start at least, just the particle board for more than a week or two would be 😬

Hmm, mural time?
