Just a random

[kiya]

The Dread Book of Face's ad-serving algorithm is improving or something; in and around the usual "television shows I don't watch" I am also getting a lot of a) dice, b) queer-owned clothing companies, and c) random stuff like "china illustrated with disasters" and "magnetic poetry kits, only for conspiracy theories".

That sounds like it's being accidentally effective, somehow. Hard to believe it would ever be that close to useful on purpose.

Block enough ads as "irrelevant" and eventually it throws things that are interesting by sheer process of elimination, maybe.

I salute your determination!

Is the company that does the china illustrated with disasters the same tiny company that does the jacquard-woven blankets with pixel-art-style art (of which we have two, one with time-travel mishaps and one with bats; they are excellent), or a different one?

[kiya]

Thisis the one I was referring to.

[brooksmoses]

Yup, that's the one!
