I see today's #APOD, and my first thought is, "Don't Panic!!"

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Seriously, I have fortytwo reasons to love this song

“It's unpleasantly like being drunk."
"What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"
"You ask a glass of water.”

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
#HGTTG

One of my favorite Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy quote is: "On the way back they sang a number of tuneful and reflective songs on the subjects of peace, justice, morality, culture, sport, family life and the obliteration of all other life forms."

This is how #suno #AI is imagining how this song might sound like.

It's not Paul McCartney, but still catchy. #Krikkit #HGTTG

"We're going to feed all your data to AI."

"But I don't want to."

"Oh? Well, you can opt out. You just need to fill the form."

“The form? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find it.”

“That’s the opting-out department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the form, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

(With apologies to Douglas Adams.)

It's May 25 so Happy Towel Day, celebrating the amazing humorous sci-fi works by Douglas Adams! From our own "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" parodies to anime fanservice farces and steamy steampunk shenanigans, towels have been a common, uh, COSTUME in our Patchwork Productions!

Given all the reboots that happen in Hollywood, I’m surprised they haven’t remade a film version of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. One closer to the book. Not slavishly following the books, but closer than the 2005 film.

The story so far:
In 2018, #Activitypub was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

It’s arguable.

If this is the question, we know the answer is 42.

I'm just zis guy you know?

@Teri_Kanefield There’s a character in the Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy books that decided to dedicate his life to visiting all beings of the galaxy, in alphabetical order, and tell them they are stupid. #HGTTG

National Towel Day

All honor to the man, the myth, the legend.
