Today’s Daily Create made me do it! That listicle glorifying title would never have gotten past my clumsy on the keyboard fingertips.

I was sent to Portent Title Generator to randomly generate a title about DS106. to put in a title. Yes, I deploy the Creative Tool No Artist or Writer Should be Without in May 2024 (a textbox and a button) and the magic creativity of Artificial Bullshittery gave me a blog post title, and now I am supposed to write a post?

Heck look at the excessive use of plural and also the negligent absence of hashtags– “Portent” is not important.

This is not how we do things around here, and I refuse to comply. The answer is effing obvious for anyone who has been a part of, sniffed the history of, or just stood on the sidelines in mock confusion, about DS106 now 13 years into to the web game, and sill kicking.

Protesting in old photos, non-generatively cropped out of the world by me. I won’t write blog posts with Generated Titles.

But this counts for the DS106 Daily Create, if anyone is counting, Maybe Todd Conaway is?

A herd of maybe 60 elk stand closely together on a flat level space with a forested mountain/hill behind. To the photographer, it resembled a protest mob.

An early 90s builder of web stuff and blogging Alan Levine barks at CogDogBlog.com on web storytelling (#ds106 #4life), photography, bending WordPress, and serendipity in the infinite internet river. He thinks it's weird to write about himself in the third person. And he is 100% into the Fediverse (or tells himself so) Tooting as @cogdog@cosocial.ca

  1. The very Portent Title Generator tells me that my comment on your post should be More Painful than Stepping on a Lego, so I too refuse to play for my own safety and the safety of others.
