A note I found yesterday while walking in Portland.

People could be listening to Billy Idol's "Eyes Without A Face" but they'd rather guzzle AI slop from the hog-trough.

Feel like pure shit, just want them back.

I'm in a drive-thru line behind a guy blasting "Barely Breathe" by* AI butt-country "artist" "Mason Crow" so loud that I can barely order. The vehicle reeks of Axe Body Spray and business degree. _______ * I had to Shazam it to figure out what the garbage I was being forced to listen to was.

In this #newblogpost I extend my arguments about the (im)possibility of decolonial GenAI. I specifically focus on the points of divergence between GenAI reliance on colonial structures of flattening what makes us human and decolonisation's refusal of those structures folukeafrica.com/being-human-...

id take all the talk about assassination being wrong more seriously if trump didnt assassinate the ayatollah like a month ago

A strong, hot southerly wind colliding with a cold, low pressure system rolling in from the west isn't too big of a deal, right?

Wild to think that if this fact had been better known in advance, we might have had seen *multiple* independent plans converge on that evening.

Great how on one side we have a party of Dick Tracy villains and on the other we have a party of Knives Out suspects.

The series finale of Dinosaurs was an emotionally brutal reflection on corporate greed and climate change, the entire family accepting the grim inevitability of death due to a handful of rich assholes making life for everyone else literally impossible. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changin...

A country in which the media treats the United States president threatening to exterminate an entire civilization as a normal weekday event is simply not a country whose citizens can get that upset about attempted violence against political figures.

this is america. you could find yourself within 100yds of a shooting at any time, in any place. school, the grocery store, a movie theater, a block party, a public park… it happens to regular people every day. but this week we’ll get 50+ weepy op-eds because it happened to the guys who write op-eds

WHAT ARE THOSE?!

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization

there's something disgusting about cis ppl using hrt for sexual kicks while calling me a pervert for using it to reduce suicidal ideation.

If you get traumatized while voluntarily attending a leisure event run by Nazis a possible downside is a lack of sympathy.

there is going to be years of your life in the future where you dont hear or read a post of someone doing a donald trump impression. you are never going to see a political cartoon where he is a squat little orange guy with the long red tie again. green grass and blue sky stretching on forever

While I was driving a car full of seventh graders home from an anime convention this afternoon, they all spontaneously broke out singing: 🎵 We are Charlie Kirk! We carry the flame! 🎶 ...and then they all broke down in a round of derisive, mocking laughter.

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

Oh wow. Carousel sucks. If I try to swipe back (left) after swiping right through photos, it just opens the main menu (same as tapping the ≡ icon) about nine times out of ten. So pointless and bad.

I'll say it again, one of the worst things this rampant push to cram "generative AI" into everything has done is make people suspect bright kids of cheating when they're just nerdy or bookish or neurodivergent, sanding down their unique edges to fit into people's lowered, homogenized expectations.

A really solid week this week, a couple new movies and a couple comfort rewatches: • Eyes Without A Face is superb! • The Children is good and creepy. • Battle Beyond The Stars is corny but fun. • Silver Bullet is even better than I remember; imperfect but great. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday

Again I need to remind you that THE KRAKEN IS NOT A GIANT SQUID. We should stop using the word 'kraken' when talking about cephalopods. The kraken is an ISLAND MONSTER, with antennae or spines. It was connected to giant squid stories, as a speculation, by Pontoppidan in the 1750s but... cont
