One of my favourite things anyone has ever said about art. You'll be missed, David. 🌹
 “Right here people might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of—or because of—his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn’t so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don’t think it was pain that made him so great—I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had.” ― David Lynch

If there's anything I hope young creatives take from David Lynch, it's to reject the modern IP-driven impulse to explicitly explain and cleanly categorize the logic behind every single event and decision inside and outside of a story at least some of the time.

If we can take one thing from the way lynch talks about art I think it should be to never again dilute your vision and don't put off any art you want to make because it all dies with you, there's no other way, there's no one else

One more reminder that webglaze serves all its users on the equivalent power of 50% of a single outdated data center GPU. Or you can run glaze on a modern laptop and glaze an image in about 2 mins. Unlike AI companies busy training the latest models, you won’t disrupt any power grids. I promise.

For Christmas Day, Israel went and bombed the last operating hospital in North Gaza. It persevered, so today Israel assaulted the building, all medical staff has been forced into concentration camps, and the hospital was set on fire. Israel's genocide can't have any survivors in Gaza.

Fucksake government. You can’t issue a consultation document that insists that “two pillars of the UK economy” are the “AI sector and the creative sector.” Because if you are allowing one to do its job, profitably, the way it wants, then the other one ceases to exist. And vice versa.

btw if you've never read Roger Ebert's review of The Mummy it's so good it changed me as a person
There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an
"Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.

Took me a bit but I've found the framing to put into words a way to express to the people fretting about the death of the UHC CEO why we just aren't heeding their admonishment: The social contract stipulates that all life is sacred, and Brian Thompson violated it. But it's more than that.

An illustration of Zoro and Luffy

Zoro is Death, the parts of him cast in shadow showing off a skeletal visage, he's turned to the left, a warm glow over him as he watched Nika Luffy in awe and no small amount of devotion. The large thorn halo he has seems to turn black into gold.

Nika Luffy glows bright and golden, a mischievous grin on his face, his hair and clothes flowing in the breeze, a God who's found his favorite and most devoted follower

1/6 So one of the BIGGEST ad agencies in the world, got a giant project by the US GOVERNMENT to design it’s website. The agency used Midjourney. So is the US government now into the business of displacing artists and elevating a tech that stole from artists and is terrible for the environment?
The Federal Goverment teamed up with Pentagram to redesign their website performance.gov

Pentagram on of the world’s leading ad agencies used Midjourney, rather than hire actual artists. Pentagram, one of the leading ad agencies in the world, displaced artists on a huge project for the US Federal Government, and used Midjourney all throughout the website.The image depicts the media Midjourney generated, plastered all over the new US government website.

you should check this project out because this game needs to be made, but that aside, this is an incredibly powerful and visceral inspiration for a game
text: Like all oral folktales, the story of Omm has numerous variations, however, all stories share the same fundamental elements: a young mother living in Palestine had her husband murdered by the Zionist invaders, and she ran to her home to retrieve her newborn child from the bed. She fled out of town in a panic, only to realize later that she had carried along a pillow instead of her child. The ending of the folktale differs wildly based on the audience - in most stories, the mother loses her mind - in others, she is murdered, or successfully avoids the roaming Zionist gangs and military groups to make it out of her homeland - not to return in her lifetime.
