My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

If you want to communicate your idea to an artist all you need is 30 seconds and the basic ability to grip a pen

free speech =/= you have to give every crackpot unlimited amounts of attention. free speech = you will not be arrested for saying negative things about your government. While the crackpots who demand attention are having a great time of it right now, actual free speech IS increasingly endangered.

On that note, let's also *dive* in another favorite subject of mine: 💧 Water shaders 💧 Here's another behind-the-scenes 🧵 on the tech-art behind our water visuals in HERDLING:

Some more glitchy effect showoff~

I mirror this view, with one caveat: it will -not- necessarily find an audience and it won't necessarily be a success, but if you made it because you want them to exist, at least you have the reward of having pulled these never-made things screaming out of the sea of ideas into reality.

De bijstand is geen potje waar je even in graait als het spannend wordt. Het is een vangnet voor mensen die anders vallen. En onderzoek laat keer op keer zien: dat vangnet is al te laag. Je kunt er eigelijk niet normaal van leven. Laten we kiezen voor solidariteit – niet voor afbraak.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

i just published... "Why making art matters: We no longer have a type of industry where we can chase financial success.

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity. What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.
