Bad idea of the day: supercut of every numinous image set to yakkity sax
Bunny-Girl Senpai is an interesting show. It seems to be going for a theme with the various arcs: each one seems to be about how communications media change our behavior & self-image by exerting social pressure with expectations.

@tx@shroom.party A lot of the original ‘text’ on social media is already an image, so sharing it as screenshot is not even the root cause.
Bad idea of the day: An algorithm that creates textual descriptions of images watches TV, creating a description from each frame, which is then used to generate a new image & the video is resynthesized

recursive eyes that display their own image, every blink triggering a wave inwards; realtime renders of flashing synapses
@kas@enotty.dk, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.nete I’m waiting for the first image to be send with twtxt… :)
In old pictures of her, her image seems to try to escape the photograph: Hiding behind family members, wandering off, fading into static
cursed image: the rubik’s cube solves to show the same color on all sides
project idea: hook up a cam to a chladni plate and then do gradient descent on the audio signal to display images↵https://twitter.com/allgebrah/status/812778890422849537

images of these predators (for us, indistinguishable from normal fire) are carved on some furniture to scare off the gentler vegetarian fire
fascinating possibility: we really are made in the world soul’s image because its own kind are the patterns it is disposed to see
the eye in the wall opens, takes you in↵you see your image on the other side↵whatever mind is behind that eye, you’re part of it now
