I just realized how incredibly original Sunlit is in simply allowing one the ability to source one’s already-uploaded (but not shared, notably) media library… which is alarming, but delightful.

Craft Assistant on Commercialized Religion
I was reminded yesterday - as I am very, very occasionally - about a thing I blasted out on The Psalms in early August 2019 about my early childhood mobility from the traditional to the trendy, contemporary side of protestant Christianity. It’s still one of my favorites, but I’ve long since conceded that it’s only of any interest/entertainment to a relatively narrow range of my peers, so please don’t force yourself…
I did, however, find the ability of whatever LLM is powering Craft’s “AI Assistant” to comprehend (pretty much uniquely lol) and … proceed to falsify (when asked with its “Continue Writing” feature) an intriguing, if entirely reiterative, continuation:

As the utter psychosis of adtech has come further and further into the mainstream light, I have been occasionally enjoying myself by “leveraging” GDPR-obliged services against the most virulent believers with which I’ve had an account (so, all of them) in order to obtain just glimpses into the actual data of the mythos we’ve all built about the shit. To be honest, I’m still surprised when I find out that the huge majority of people have never bothered, and I try not to dwell on my (informed, taxing) supposition that the individual user’s volition in regards to this inherently exploitive dynamic we’ve sold the web to has been in control of the masters of these mechanisms.

Marquis Trill's First Twitter Space
Some time in late Summer 2021, I stumbled into another of the handful of nigh-inconceivable conversation opportunities which Twitter Spaces would offer me. Marquis Trill - someone I’m still not 100% convinced I actually remembered from the ~2012 Twitter Epoch - decided to just fuckin go on Spaces one day for the first time. And - as per the nature of Spaces - I guess I just hopped in the mf too.
