This is how genAI IS a threat to the world. Not because it can think, but because powerful and influential people *believe* it can think. And Trump is the worst possible case.

I saw a post talking about how interesting it is that both Heaven Will Be Mine and Disco Elysium both have a version of turning the beliefs of humanity into a physical thing. Not surprising at all actually. Just read Roadside Picnic PLEASE. I can't be the only person who saw the line in HWBM...

Going through #HWBM Luna-Terra and they literally said the thing: "Happiness for everybody, free, and let no one be left behind" And I thought I was being delusional for seeing the influences of late-Soviet Sci-Fi in this work. I came for the yuri, but stayed for Strugatskyism

I saw the opening scene video on my tl back when it dropped and I thought it looked interesting so I saved it, but I didn't actually watch the video... I then forgot about it for two months. I really don't know why, but I remembered it existed, played it, and now i've been recommending it to friends

ngl, appropriate response to have towards your own art. I really do want to make a proper article to organize my thoughts. It sounds corny on paper, but it has the same nontraditional capital L "Literary" element that I felt from works like Sacred and Terrible Air

BABYLON brought my sibling's passion project back to their mind. I hope to eventually be on board for the music production and script editing with some story planning assistance. I really hope it can see the light of day but we're both busy as hell

tomatosauce5775.bsky.social @tomatosauce5775.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

playing babylon I was tempted the entire time to imagine what it would look like as a live action short film. I say tempted because that betrays the ways it utilizes the medium to its advantage. That said the final shot, reverse-shot sequence blew my mind. wdym you put cinematography in a book?

there are so many worse things going on but the Kennedy Center stuff pisses me off precisely because of the pettiness. I've performed there, I saw Michael Tilson Thomas conduct there, I know people who play in the NSO. It's apoliticism put it at risk for not being sychophantic

VNs are a medium with such potential but then your options are anime bs or a supposedly good story locked behind meh prose from a guy who needed an editor because he was pumping out chapters half the length of Anna Karenina every 6 months. But such is the fate of all art mediums

this disconnect from a greater sense of culture is exactly how you turn people into nazi's. you pull them under this all encompassing banner of whiteness where other cultures just become series of myths and images you can pull amorphous power from. yeah man, you were totally a viking

my straight cis guy friend told me that as a kid he first learned that lesbians existed from undertale when Alphys and Undyne kiss and he was like "wait they can do that?" Also that it was treated as a normal thing made him think "well it seems like everything is fine so i guess it's okay"

this doesn't apply to the quoted piece, but most people who say "teach the bible" mean "give my children sectarian religious instruction" not "teach my children the literary and rhetorical importance of the biblical text"

I caught up on the Julia Curlee story. She's a crank for staying with those administrations and it isn't like I ever had a positive opinion of the CIA, but her realization did move me. Competency and turning the other cheek will never work and any personal support will be undermined by admin policy

Curious where this level of scolding is when parents cut off their children for being trans or gay, which is a phenomenon that by every metric is far more prevalent.

Saying in June 2020 that Joe Biden would win in 2020 and lead a listless presidency where he doesn't accomplish anything, resulting in a worse Trump being elected in 2024 due to the backlash against him. honestly not that tough of a prediction but I was upset to be right
