They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

Now that the studios are collapsing, the movie industry has finally recognized what everybody has been telling it for fifteen years—that big, expensive productions are insane, because the hits don't make enough to pay for the blockbuster flops. (1970)

My first byline at the Brooklyn Rail is now live! Read all about how contemporary horror directors are turning to games for inspiration (god I hope the new Resident Evil is good): brooklynrail.org/2026/09/film...

It should come as no surprise that digital natives would appropriate the stylistic vernacular of video games and YouTube in their cinema.

All the people who are anti-Chadley or want to mute Chadley, I have one question: If Chadley disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through Final Fantasy VII without him or the Chadley menu? Imagine Chadley was suddenly banned. Would you actually be willing to give him up?

as a straight dude I agree too. it's evidence of a weak will and/or poor attachment to good values, and we've all got LGBT friends or family. more practically I've seen way too many people go batshit fucking crazy down the transphobia waterslide

It has truly felt this past year that monoculture events are taking hold in ways they haven’t in a long time; a return to Internet culture living downstream of legacy media. That feels like a direct result of social media fragmentation, AI, and the enshittification of the entire internet.
