Sometimes a walk on Dartmoor is a bit like passing through a curtain in reality that leads directly into a fairy tale.

Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

David Lynch spent the last portion of his life in isolation. He said it was due to being high-risk and unable to risk getting COVID. He’s not the only person with disability or illness who’s been left behind. Everywhere you go without an n95 is a place you’ve decided disabled people don’t belong.

Covid STILL sucks. And part of the reason for that is because the reactionary response WON. Constant reinfections are creating chronic health problems, and govts are saying "There are too many sick people -- there's no reason for such an upsurge, They have to be faking. It's Over Because We Say So!"

Earlier this year, I undertook a pilgrimage: a private tour of Prospect Cottage. When our work is seen as ‘other’, we record our lives and acknowledge that our creations have value. Even in an age that devalues anything extraordinary. t.co/JpPcrOPP2D

Fabulous day at @bafta with Lua, Jared and Ethan-James for the #youngbaftashowcase exploring creativity for young people. Lua and Jared were dressed by the Horrible Histories costume department. One of those special days, and I’m feeling blessed and grateful for my family and the path we’re on.

The Onion acquiring Infowars happened because BlueSky made a joke to @bencollins.bsky.social, and @bencollins.bsky.social working to acquire The Onion happened because he made a joke on BlueSky. Basically, joke about your dreams on BlueSky, it's a wish factory.

"Poverty can produce the most deadly kind of violence in this society; violence against poor people and minority groups is routine. I remind you that starving a child is violence. Suppressing a culture is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her child is violence…

Absolutely scathing and well worth the read.

Sam Altman desperately needs you to believe that generative AI will be essential, inevitable and intractable, because if you don't, you'll suddenly realize that trillions of dollars of market capitalization and revenue are being blown on something remarkably mediocre. If you focus on the present — what OpenAI's technology can do today, and will likely do for some time — you see in terrifying clarity that generative AI isn't a society-altering technology, but another form of efficiency-driving cloud computing software that benefits a relatively small niche of people.

If you stop saying things like "AI could do" or "AI will do," you have to start asking what AI can do, and the answer is...not that much, and not much more in the future. Sora is not going to generate movies. It's going to continue making horrifying human-adjacent creatures that walk like the AT-ATs from Star Wars, and cartoons that look remarkably like copyrighted material from YouTube.

Loved #Barbie, although it's certainly flawed. Hated the plastic worship of a toy, but Greta is a straight-up genius. Ryan Gosling is on some Alfred Jarry Ubu Roi level shit with his performance.
