Watched "Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice" with Friday today, quickly became a favorite of mine. An action buddy comedy about mobsters and a time machine. The spirited discussion about which boyfriend was best for Rory in Gilmore Girls was as unexpected as it was funny for us.

Because if you're a no budget production and you use Ai voices because you can't afford professional voice actors then you deprive yourself of experimentation and finding something special like this. This goes for Ai Art and Ai Music. There is talent out there not fed into a LLM and its great!

The ADV dub of Golden Boy featured Doug Smith as Kentaro. Doug was working in the graphic design department and since dubbing back then was so shoestring budgetwise they let him do some acting. It is now a legendary performance. youtu.be/bHmBSfci0yE?... why do I bring this up? (cont)

Anyways, just a reminder in case you need it too.

Stop. Using. Us. As. Your. Excuse. I do not use Gen AI & never will. Why? It hurts the #disabled community. I had brain surgery fall of 2024. I am in constant pain that gets to a fever pitch when I write & make art. I've lost dexterity and fine motor skills in my hands. As an #artist who-

Green Apple Headache. Yeah, alright.

Oh, hanging in there.

Why isn't it spelled 'Inglish'? Continuing a personal tradition of posing linguistic questions that people were content to leave unasked, here's a new piece from me about why we write 'English' – a "sound-symbol anomaly" and a victory of emotion over logic. dannybate.com/2026/05/01/t...

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. So, so, SO many times more than six.

Name your fav film sequel.

Thanks Barret ur right 🌍

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

Apropos of nothing, if the creator of something you cherished turns out to be a horrible person, the answer isn't to close your hearts for fear of disappointment, it's to love more. Love with abandon, because there's always new art to find, love so much as to always outweigh the disappointments. ❤️

Video games to get to know me... I waffled on a few points more than once, and I really didn't know what to put in the last category, so I went with Death Stranding because it's fuckin' weird and I love it.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Your Tax Day reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor. Don't let billionaires fool you into thinking we shouldn't tax the rich.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

A #WIPSnips entry for the word "need" from my WIP 'Phantom Gradient'. "It is not ideal." #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

THEY TRAINED THE AI ON ACTUAL WRITERS. YOU CANNOT TELL IF SOMETHING IS AI SIMPLY BASED ON IT USING PROPER GRAMMAR. IT STOLE FROM US!!! IT STOLE!!! IT IS A THIEF AND I WILL NOT EVER BE QUIET ABOUT IT!!!!

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

#WIPSnips - no beach, so going for sand instead

G'morning #WIPSnips! No actual beaches are featured in Cavern Clipper (or sailing the seas for that matter, at least not up close) so here's the next best thing i guess. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

a snip from (technically) a #WIPSnips for “beach” I've sent this story for an anthology call, (this snip is from an earlier draft) and planning to rework the story if it gets rejected (at some point this month) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #AmWriting #CozyHorror #Eldritch

They did not anticipate how much Edo (now Tokyo) had changed. #WIPSnips #amwriting #amrevising #amediting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

A #WIPSnips entry for "step" from my WIP 'Phantom Gradient'. Curiosities abound. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

"Copilot is for entertainment purposes only." You dumb motherfuckers laid off most of your employees that worked in your actual video game department for this shit.

if you don’t like the process of writing then don’t be a fucking writer, it’s not that complicated

A #WIPSnips entry for "option" from my WIP 'Phantom Gradient' Longer than my others, but ensconced in some dissociation and panic. Touching grass is hard when it's all outside. #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

I think people should know cursive because lots of old stuff is written in it, and it would be good to know how to read it, but "to write a check" is the the most asinine shit. I learned to write a check in 5th grade, and I can't even remember the last time I wrote one, let alone in cursive.

LinkedIn, stop emailing about puzzles to play. I don't want to hear from you unless there's a job, job website.

He also said he'd fund to end world hunger if someone made a budget for it, and then when a UN specialist made a budget for it, instead of helping end world hunger, he overpaid like quintuple that budget for twitter to turn it into (even more of) a nazi cesspool. Never trust that dipshit.

Annoyed about being spammed by a company that uses AI for translation and then hire translators to "edit" them 🙄 Can these companies all leave literary translators alone

A #WIPSnips entry for "addition" from my WIP 'Phantom Gradient'. Game systems~! Describing digital actions can be funky, but also fun. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Post the: Last movie you saw 🎬 Last game you played* 🎮 Last show you watched 🖥 Last song you listened to 🎶 That is...an eclectic mix. Playlists and whims, playlists and whims.

These folks who don't want copyright after the life of the author...motherfucker, who do you think is deprived of quality time when we write the damn books? The sacrifice is not individual. That narrative is incorrect. Families/beneficiaries should be compensated too. Act like you know.

Here's a #WIPSnips entry for “face” from my WIP 'Phantom Gradient'. A little inner turmoil turned outer, to start the day. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

For your mental health, please stop doom scrolling for ten minutes. If you decide you need to come back to it, you can, but if you see this post, take a ten minute break

A #WIPSnips entry for "walk" from 'Phantom Gradient' #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

A reminder to everyone that Everything Everywhere All At Once is awesome 💜

it must suck to be a cat. you are born into this world, no one feeds you. you live a long life, but no one feeds you. you have never been fed, not once, not ever, never ever

AI is going to make it nearly impossible for anyone to afford a new PC, phone, or gaming console -- all in the name of a future that will never come to pass and a present that will just make a few dudes rich. This is unacceptable

At this point I'm beginning to believe in the idea that "Al will kill humanity," but only insofar as the rampant financial, psychological, and environmental effects from a bunch of rich dipshits will do it.

Sharing the #WIPSnips word "corner" from my WIP 'Phantom Gradient', a neo-noir set within and without a virtual reality game. This is...actually at the end, a little spoilerish, but eh! It shows some of the fun formatting bits I've been toying with. #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

This project has effectively doubled in most aspects from what I had originally planned - three more characters, another antagonist, and with it the plot has expanded. Not that I mind, it's all the better for it, but man, it really threw what little roadmap I had to the wind!
