the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

I’m glad time has vindicated Sebulba. Everyone was so cruel to him because he “tried to kill a child” during the Boonta Eve Classic even though he was literally Darth Vader

Sooner! I am nine months away from releasing an album but the follow-up material is pouring out. I think it's because the release parameters (content/presentation/timing/canonical version) are contrived and separate from the actual creation. It's more organic/natural to noodle and share and evolve.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

"What beautiful creatures we have found in the bog! What lovely songs they sing." A painting I did for the folk horror TTRPG "The Woods at Blight's Hollow" I co-created with Oli Jeffery, now available for pre-order 🧜‍♀️

Two gaunt, feminine humanoid creatures with luminescent skin and mermaid tails, each sporting 6 glowing eyes in alien looking heads. They sit in repose in a pond with glowing, shimmering water, in the woods at night. In the distance you can see a light in the window of a lone wooden cabin.
