Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 10/09/2026As I ask every year, please be thoughtful about what images you choose to post in remembrance. I’m not your boss and I’m not your mom, you can do what you want; but since you *can* choose something that’s not burning buildings and explosions and falling bodies, I hope you will. 000
Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Everyone facing *down* the avenue standing stock-still, staring up at the black streak of smoke cutting across that clear blue sky; and everyone facing *up* the avenue walking, looking at their phones wondering why they weren’t working, for a last few moments unaware of what was right behind them. 100
Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 10/09/202625 years is a long time. It’s hard for me to wrap my brain around that number, given how immediate it can feel when we let our brains take us back there. One image that got seared into mine from those first minutes: 100

Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 28/04/2025I actually do trust and believe your motives. I do also think you’ll have a PR/perception obstacle to get over, but you may have a strategy for that. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating, of course. 050
Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 28/04/2025I’m rephrase: how do you intend to court the non-toxic, when the idea sounds so toxic? Is that a concern, or do you trust your motives will be enough? 160

Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 28/04/2025I’m a playwright, not a novelist, so apples and oranges, sure; but I wouldn’t want to be associated with a “Male Writers Only” publisher or producer for my scripts, no matter how sincere. 1110
Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 28/04/2025Are you concerned at all that your “Men Only” launch branding will invite exactly those chuds in your submissions, and act as a deterrent for the non-toxic male writers you hope to champion? 290

Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 14/02/2025I'm sadly unsurprised that she's the only one so far who has said anything publicly about it, and that none of the men who were deepfaked have made a peep. (If I'm wrong about that, I would love to know.) 010

Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 12/02/2025The incentive and permission this creates for a deepfake of say, Nick Offerman in a MAGA hat, or ANY OF YOU in a pro-nazi t-shirt, is so clear and obvious it hurts my head. 120
Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 12/02/2025I get that the message is righteous, and Kanye can suck eggs; but the “I don’t care that it’s fake” response (from actors, of all people) tells me a lot about where we’re headed, and it ain’t good. 130
Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 12/02/2025I can’t believe we had a whole strike against unauthorized AI-generated uses of our likeness and yet all these #actors are out here sharing that deepfake video. 130
Vince Gatton @vincegatton.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Y'all. AI deepfakes made without consent are bad, even when they're conveying an entirely righteous message. 031
