 It's 6:40 pm here and Jimmy is offended, Gigi is artsy, ODELL IS IN ALL CAPS, Carla is cute, Lyn is wisdomous, OpenSats is raining money, and Corndalorian has a meme for us.

Nothing is on Nostr, again. Just reruns.  🫤  
 Just tried a DVM. Same difference, but with one Mleku highlight.
Le sigh.

But the 10 sats was worth the Mleku. Immerhin. 
 Thank you, @mleku for not being dull or entirely predictable. 
 my mind has a spirit of a weasel... get too close and it flips out... here's a weasel fight for you:

 It's still such a small network, that you would think that there would be _some_ correlation between how interesting and unexpected something is and how frequently it appears in your feed, or how often it appears on your trending list, but, alas, there is none.

It's almost entirely an artefact of follower count. Everyone is staring at the same handful of people, waiting for a new picture of a coffee cup, an update on What Trump Did, a reminder to STACK SATS, or a pronouncement to cheer some rich or famous person they don't actually know, who is getting richer or famouser because reasons or other reasons.

Also amazing how formulaic and systematic the most popular npubs are. It's always the same pattern, the same routine, the same imagery. It's only a matter of time, before someone creates impersonation bots that really, convincingly impersonate. There's so much material and so little variance....

Mood.

 Bathtub gin. That reminds me... I need a drink. I'll have a gin. 
 First bathtub gin thought:  
What if the influencer gazillionaire VIPs are all actually bots? Like real robots, not just laptop ones.

Because then I have a confession to make that some of the male-styled bots are sort of attractive, and now I feel like I'm in Blade Runner, but the roles are reversed. 
 DUR. 
 I would like a chart of who works for whom, for all of these "regulars and prioritized"! 
 that's when it's time to touch grass 
 100%, I guess touching the same grass can get dull :/ 
 I feel like the doctor ordered a round of touching far-off grass. This is the grass, that I would like to touch.

 That's some sexy grass
