Again: ai bros think the creative act is a skill issue. In other words, if they wanted to write the next Ulysses or become the next Beatles they could if they wanted to, but they think AI can do it for them. They have no respect for creativity, let alone idea how hard it is

this guy is such a shameless fabulist that I’m kind of in awe. Like he says that he didn’t just invent a new kind of karate, but that he taught it to Brian Wilson and they were bffs

Joker: Hot Shots! Part Deux

Cesar Romero as the Joker in the Batman tv show; it looks like he's probably in a prison yard, in a gray-ish uniform, wearing a baseball catcher's mitt and in a stance like he's about to throw the ball maybe.

Over at her patreon, @emoryahlberg.bsky.social is gearing up for a new season of Homecoming which I‘ve described to people as a HBO-style erotic thriller about plural identities, sex work, political corruption, and murder in Chicago. I think it’s very cool stuff

I know pointing out hypocrisy is low hanging fruit w/r/t trump but it’s interesting how much he cozies up to certain communist heads of state while also trying to whip up an anti communist panic domestically

If you're reading this, post about something cool that your friends have made. This is a fun and very well written story about an angry young man who has to find a job and in doing so starts to figure himself out. It’s not my friend @fakeminsk.bsky.social www.scribblehub.com/series/15387...

The "social contagion" thing drives me screaming angry. When I was young I had no clue trans ppl existed. I'd never met anyone trans. I saw cruel caricatures in pop culture occasionally. When I realized trans was a thing someone could be, it hit like a lightning bolt. My life felt newly possible.
