@LogicalDash Sliding squares puzzle game, it’s long and tedious but all the pieces are there, there’s a process and you can never really lose, just abandon before completion.

"neutrality is just a mask that complicity wears in public"
And Cowboy Jobe's sermon is about the intrinsically political nature of art
"You can't take belief out of art any more than you can take sun outta a flower."
and i think this is a diatribe against Death of the Author?

The notation gets kinda hard to read. Dash for weak syllable, asterisk for a strong one
It starts to specify rhyme schemes, leading to weird stuff like "you have to write a poem every line ending in the same syllable"
And they're working on constraints like rotations
They want to use wave function collapse, so you can supply a wee bit of a poem and it fills it out for you
Lesson: you can get a lot of inspiration from very little code
For version 2, made it more configurable and less random, so you can eg. add some sine waves together to get a good stanza structure
Clarissa is reading poems they wrote in these structures. They're pretty intense
Versions 3 and 4 added some "concrete" characteristics, like indentation
First featured presenter
Clarissa Littler "left adjoint"

The simplest generator creates stanzas and chooses line length in syllables
