Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude.

I have been excited in the past. I’m familiar with the sensation… but how to explain the buzz im feeling after a 25 year journey to get it made, to finally… FINALLY bring ROGUE TROOPER HOME! Hard to express really. See you at the premiere at the LFF tomorrow night, LONDON! ❤️🇬🇧❤️

Just checked if the domain I wanted was available. It wasn’t. Swore a bit. Spent 2 hours considering alternatives. Finally picked one. Logged into account to register it. Realised I registered the original domain in July 🙄 Reader, I was the selfish f***ing domain squatter.

I know people are angry at LLMs for stealing their content. And rightly so. But search engines have been doing that since they drove directories out of business. Pre-LLM Google literally scraped your content, repackaged it, and sold advertising off its back.

You know how we are shouted at to not talk about gun control in the aftermath of a shooting, but it’s the BEST time to talk about it? Well, during rising fascism, this is the best time to NOT VOTE for democrats that negotiate the rights of trans folk, immigrants, or the lives of Palestinians.

I’ve reconciled myself to being to the left of any Labour government in my adult lifetime, but I didn’t anticipate that I’d also wildly diverge from them on whether masked gangs of fascist thugs should be allowed to break the law with impunity in the service of inciting racial hatred

Blue states are not safe for trans people because the ones doing the most direct, day-to-day harm to the trans community are not rabid Trumpists but the centrists and liberals cutting deals and following orders.

Had a stupid idea: what if, when a actor died, they were digitally removed from every film they were in. Eventually, every film would just be empty scenes with ambient noise.

Sera | The Sun 2/3 tarot card made for @dragonageannual.art ✨ #art | #dragonage | #dragonageannual
illustration of Sera from Dragon Age Inquisition as the tator card The Sun

the illustration is bright and playful but not overly saturated, a clockwise gradient going from warm orange and yellow tones shifting subtly into blues and greens in the background.
sera is a pale blonde elf woman with freckles, looking to the right, holding a flat white bow and arrow, getting ready to strike. behind her head is the white sun framing her face.

Quick PSA. Looking at you, local orgs and small businesses.
Crudely drawn bunny character holding a pencil, messy hand lettering surrounds them in orange to green gradient color. It says in all caps:

Stop using AI for your flyers & logos! They look like shit, everybody thinks so! Seriously, you’re losing business. Just make it yourself or hire a real artist.

Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.
