New at PB: Janet Vertesi asks readers to “remember when playing a game was just playing a game, not imbibing ‘content’ or a franchise?” www.publicbooks.org/retro-gaming...

Andy Warhol turned the ordinary into art. If he were creating today, would AI be his next canvas?

Every October, I fire up Doom 3. It’s been my little spooky-season tradition for a few years now. What’s a game you always come back to this time of year?

Love wants proof of life. Then more proof. The cat’s pulse swells into a shadow larger than its body, while the dark beneath its chin keeps a small possibility intact: sleep that owes the watcher no answer. #Caturday #NuWeird #BrainRotArt #Promptalism #SiSloopArt #Surveillance Sleep Owes No Answer

The cat makes a toy of the light meant to guide it. The errand token presses its throat as another loop forms: duty stays close enough to touch, while delight keeps bending the way forward. #Caturday #NuWeird #BrainRotArt #Promptalism #SiSloopArt #FantasyArt #CosmicArt One More Bright Detour

October arrived this morning with a clean calendar page. In the square for the 1st, someone had written in my handwriting: YOU’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. I checked last October. Same note, same ink pressure. Tomorrow’s box says: DON’T LET HIM REMEMBER YOUR NAME. October, leave me my shadow. #SiSloopArt

What happens when “all logic has evaporated into server clouds, the institutions of education are dying, and the ‘news’ doesn’t mean much?” For Mahika Dhar, the answer is brain rot. www.publicbooks.org/if-we-rot-yo...
