"The social conditions proposed by the companies profiting from AI are beyond Orwell’s bleakest thoughts: constant surveillance; mass behavior modification via social media; [...] art and culture as individually tube-fed corporate consumption rather than communal connection."

Truth is painful, but liberating for the spirit. This is why abusers can't stand it and are doomed to inner turmoil

It's so funny seeing a who's-who of successful, talented, influential peers and contemporaries from my scene liking my posts and showing solidarity with my takes on the MC / GC situation like, anyone who matters will never take them seriously and they can't fucking stand it lol

it's so weird how neither GameChops nor Materia asked me if I wanted my videos DMCA'd off of the internet as part of this embarrassing bullshit that's so weird! maybe something to do with a fundamental lack of thoughtfulness or respect for boundaries but idk it's just so weird right??

Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!
A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

Daggerfall turned 30 yesterday, so allow me to share a piece of music from it that kind of singlehandedly shaped my own style of writing. You can hear this one song's influence in nearly all my soundtracks: youtu.be/DUVmAUpYf50?...

Sometimes I feel almost facile saying any of this,I think because I assume my audience already agrees, but it has not become any less true that ICE ought to be abolished, Palestine ought to be free, trans people ought to be fully recognized as their gender, and also that’s not a complete list either

Not really sure where a bunch of liberals got the idea that they can’t win without throwing trans people in the garbage, but they’re stupid and cruel and wrong. If you want a human sacrifice so damned bad put gavin newsom in the wicker man
