paradox taxes and restrictive temporal ID laws make it more difficult for certain groups of people to have voted. loving republicans

so here's that bonus content i was promising! as you may have supposed, the word machine's content was generated by me feeding stuff through a markov chain generator and cherrypicking what i thought were the most generative phrases (there were also a few android blues originals in there, just to throw you off the scent). so! for fun, and if you like, why not try to match the resultant words to the source material which, once mangled and re-ordered, spat them out? here's a full list of the source texts I used: 1. ghostbusters II script 2. a midsummer night's dream (b. shakes) 3. titus andronicus (also b. shakes) 4. the alchemist, by ben jonson 5. "bee movie" script 6. ulysses by james joyce 7. the script to evil dead II 8. letters from vita sackville-west to her then-lover, virginia woolf 9. the rejected 1980s script proposal for "watchmen" 10. t.s. eliot's the waste land 11. TIME CUBE (archived) 12. the importance of being earnest (play script) 13. the inimitable "i just made it up myself" take a guess at what your words were from! or, if you like, the words of others. no-one said you couldn't have an imagination. i hope you had fun everyone! |

i also tried running an adam sandler movie through the generator but it failed to generate any funny or interesting phrases. that's not a riff, that's a true obstacle i stumbled into across the way (for those curious, it was Jack and Jill) |

the latter yes (time cube was a lot of fun and also generated such greats as "false Santa Claus" and "singularity idiot wife"), but the former is from The Waste Land |

I think "the narrator ascends" was the rejected 1980s script proposal for "watchmen" |

I read ulysses once with a group it was good but never again I think it's a "once" kind of book |
