i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I have discovered that the massive “twist” I saw leaked about DIGGER is, in fact, just the premise of the film.

Yesterday someone tried to sell me on AI as a legit resource for legal advice, and when I told him it glitches and hallucinates enough to be a genuine liability he responded “well, it’s the future” with a special kind of annoyance. It’s only! The future! If we keep! Using it!

I love when it rains hard and Felicia (former feral kitten) just stares out the window at it like "Yeah, indoor cat's a pretty sweet gig".

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Kitchens on fire off the oil in the ovens. I watched tokens glitter in the dark near the skeeball grate. All those moments will be lost in time, like pizzas in rain. Time to die.

When telling a story, the rule of thumb is "show, don't tell," and that applies to many other things as well. For example, don't TELL me about all the hot lonely queer women you know. SHOW me.

One problem with widespread adoption of generative AI is that the results suck now, when it’s had an endless well of actual good art to train on. What happens when all it has to train on is the dogshit made with generative AI?

There‘s much to appreciate in Mamdani, but his insistence that culture isn’t a privilege of the rich is one of his strengths.It is reminiscent of how unions and the government treated it in the 1930s -art for the masses - paintings, music, opera, theater - democracy for all.

Two panels from Monster High: Howliday Haunt. In the first panel is a zombie boy that Frankie made shouting "AI art is a legitimate form of creative expression!". The second panel shows Frankie Stein with a disappointed look saying, "Oh no! He's brain dead."

I'm in Salt Lake City for FanX and while out for an evening stroll I happened to walk into the Mormon Tabernacle Choir practicing (no really!). The best part: two beardy guys in teeny shorts and tank tops that said "Praise Lilith" were also watching. I would call it a very non-denominational moment.
