As we go into the holidays, I leave you with this stone relief and stunning cuneiform inscription. The writing is engraved over the image of a protective spirit whose image once flanked the doorway to the throne room of an Assyrian palace in Nimrud.

If you're in need of some cozy Christmas background music this week, the YouTube channel Calmed by Nature does some of my absolute favorite ambient scenes www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI_W...

Mumbling “Hill House, NOT sane…” to myself in the same cadence and tone as Gonzo in A Muppet Christmas Carol says “And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die…”

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former.

Status update: not great, Bob! The last few months have been real rough, but I'm surviving. Plugging away at projects when I can and that's keeping me going

me seeing an article about the 25 Hottest and Most Popular Celebrities: haha who are any of these people? me seeing a screenshot of a horrible post by CeleriusAvignon8888, Based Viscount of the New Bayesian Duchy of Pure Reason: oh it's this fuckin guy again

not just in art, either, there are guys who would go around obsessively fixing every clogged pipe in a 10-mile radius if they had the free time and social infrastructure to do so

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

made a bunch of fake adverts for @6knifes.bsky.social 's goblin town anthology a while back, stuff like this

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

You know how when they do a restoration of an old painting they slowly remove the old yellow varnish with solvent and then they reapply a new varnish and it looks so clear and detailed and amazing. I think I need that done to me

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

rubbing my face to spread the squalene oils naturally secreted by the skin under my fur; it's adorable and increasing my buoyancy 👍

"you can simply evade and outrun the monster" oh yeah well what if he needs to pay for his crimes

Lots of really strong puzzle games in this year's nominees for the Thinky Awards! 🏆 Go place your vote if you haven't already!

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

if you think about it, a megadungeon is the ultimate walkable city
