I keep hearing people talk about how AI slop happens because of a need for more content. I think we don’t talk enough about how AI slop scratches the itch for *cheap* content. The second it gets to be as costly as a human most people stop paying for or using AI.

Playing around this weekend. May build a funhouse themed dungeon filled with evil clowns. #procreate #digitalart #ttrpg
Digital art of an evil looking clown with chalk white skin, green eyebrows, curly orange hair, a pointed blue hat, and a bright red nose, the clown’s mouth is wide open, with a large pink tongue lolling out.

Have you read the article "American Gentry" by @patrickwyman.bsky.social? For me, this article is where the penny dropped and why rural areas feel so stunted. As someone who grew up rural and left ASAP as an adult it connected the all the dots. patrickwyman.substack.com/p/american-g...

I feel like we would all be better off if personal fortunes were capped at like $100 million. That’s still an obscene amount of wealth, but it’s less likely to make it possible for one person to alter the course of human history just by buying politicians.

Watched Masters of the Universe now that it’s streaming on Amazon and I don’t have to pay for it. Let me start by saying it was fine. Not amazing, fine. Special shout outs for Idris Elba and James Purefoy for taking what they were given and doing something amazing with it. /1

Man. Idea for a Bat-book: “Dynamic Duos”. Each month it’s a different one issue story about someone in the batfam teaming up with another DC character.

It’s been said that because of GOP lies, Dems will have to beat them this fall so badly it can’t be ignored. Gotta say, if you think that will slow the liars down, you’re nuts. By all means, beat the pants off them, but don’t think it will slow them down at all. Make em work for it at least. /1

Because it would make him lose his mind, I think everyone should refer to him as, “Elon Musk, the former trillionaire.”

Big Tech is organized crime. Most people won’t engage with that statement. They don’t want to confront what it means — how huge the problem is and how hard it will be to fix. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s true. Big Tech is organized crime.

One of our biggest problems at the moment, by no means the only problem or the most serious problem, is that the GOP has organized itself around a political base made up of lunatics who cannot be persuaded of the truth no matter how patently obvious it is if it something they choose to disregard.

Happy to say The Mandalorian and Grogu is fun. First thing I’ve seen in theaters in a while, and I don’t regret it. I have no complaints. It’s self contained and doesn’t set up a sequel, which has become so rare it’s worth mentioning. Recommended.

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

Holy shit this piece will melt some eyeballs. Writer argues Dems need to take drastic, even once-unimaginable tactics in response to Voting Rights Act being gutted. He writes: "Patience is the enemy now" and we have to stop asking people for it. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Thinking about DC characters this morning and… I think one of the core ideas animating DC is that power ***can*** be wielded for the good of everyone, and ***should*** be. Marvel is more that power ***should*** be used to help, but doing that is ***hard***. Similar, but not the same. /1

Where are the superhero video games? It seems like once studios tried some shit live service games that flopped they decided folks didn’t want superhero games? I know Wolverine is coming, but that just shows how thin on the ground new superhero video games are now. /1 #dc #dccomics #videogames

The fact that I’m almost 50 before seriously considering the question, “Am I having panic attacks or do I have asthma?” Is a little distressing on an existential level.

Okay, not *exactly* a luxury. I would open a business dedicated to science education. Call it Catapult Valley, featuring a bunch of catapults on a bluff or big hill. It would have a gift shop and would market itself as a field trip destination for high schoolers. I’ve thought way too much about it.

Dune poster meme, picturing a man and woman wearing sleek black futuristic suits. The man has a flowing cape and is holding a dagger over his head. They are standing in front of a large sun low on the horizon. Overhead, in the Dune font, it says: “Tremors”

I may be the only Green Lantern fan on this app stoked to see this show. Look, I’m interested to see what they do. Green Lanterns are a broad concept, you can do anything. Part of the 2011 movie’s problem was doing too much too fast. Let these folks cook and let’s see what they do. #dc #lanterns

I want a show that is basically Reacher, but a monster hunter. Imagine a dude who wanders from place to place, showing up right when things go to hell. Huge dude, good at improvising weapons and tools in the field. The last surviving Van Helsing. /1
