Taffy’s Ice Cream Shop

WP Prompt: Who are some underrated people in history?

She was walking out of an ice cream shop called Taffy’s at Fremont Mall. I saw her for a second, maybe two, As she walked by me   she looked up at me from her overstuffed waffle cone she smiled and that night  I was inspired to write a story about a serial killer-she was the killer.

Such quiet and brief encounters have filled works in  art galleries, libraries and concert halls since the beginning of our time.

Those people, these brief encounters have provided the spark that led to a creative fire in the imagination of writers and artists are most part nameless, forgotten

it’s a shame really.

WP Prompter asks, “what is the best thing to do in your city” and my answer isn’t going to turn up on a travel website, or on social media but it is hands, down the best thing you could do should you find yourself in my city:

Leave it.

For you own sake. RUN if you  have too.

RDP Saturday: Bizarre

I’ve been experimenting with creating images via Gemini on google and some of the results are bizarre.

I asked to create an image that included a morgue, demons a corpse and an attendant.

It’s what AI added that I found bizarre:

The lighting fixture was weird, in addition I didn’t ask for one.

The lighting fixture was prominent that’s what caught my eye I don’t know what the significance of the book is, was it supposed to be used to call the demons forth? Bring the corpse back to life? Again it’s prominent so I wonder why it was added.

And I guess I should mention that I didn’t specify that the attendant had to be male, but Gemini hit it’s default mode and went with a guy.

I have enjoyed using AI to create images for my blog posts, and as fun as it is I can see how some people end up creating more complex images on some high end sites. I don’t want to go there, but this is a useful if not interesting tool.

Swinging, Spinning in 1830

/ animar64 / 4 Comments

For RDP Prompt: GYRATE

Did you know that the first known use of the word Gyrate was in 1830

and did you also know in that same year the word

anti-erotic made it’s first appearance

which tells me that in 1830  people were somewhat conflicted about passion

and that this famous painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard ( 1767) of a brazen little hussy  swinging between two men as she flirts  with one while leaving the other in her wake  may have been predicting that all of that gyrating may have led to to anti – erotic sentiments.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
