not beating the “AI art is lazy” allegations

Looks like Spotify figured out how to be shittier than their previous record as a company whose founder funds an AI-powered war drone startup, by now running ads for ICE on their platform. It was a low bar, but they managed it! Indivisible has directions for canceling your Spotify subscription.

But her emails or whatever

“Wow! Season 2 doesn’t swear as much as season one! The writing is so much better” No season 2 swears about as much as season 1. Season 1 truly doesn’t swear as much as you think. You have literally created false fucks in your mind because the internet said so. It’s fascinating

Got mad that Netflix took off Crimson Peak so I bought the DVD and watched it that way. Good decisions were made. ✨

This brain-dead discourse is *everywhere* and it drives me insane.

This is so small in the grand scheme of things, but man, seeing that Walmart has their Christmas stuff out in the middle of October does incite a level of rage in me.

It's that time again! Run it Backsburg #2 is right around the corner, and it's the crossover episode to boot! Make sure you register and we'll see you this weekend! #umvc3 #sf6 #uni2 #gbvsr #vtfgc #tournament #blacksburg

The right to read belongs to all of us, but rights only survive when we defend them. ALA is standing with library workers, parents, and readers to push back against censorship. You can donate to support our work at ilovelibraries.org/1984. Censorship is so 1984, but supporting libraries is so 2025.

Friendly reminder that our first monthly of the semester is THIS WEEKEND! Make sure you register!!! #vtfgc #ggst #sf6 #bbcf #umvc3 #tournament

One of my favorite stills from my most recent video project! :)

It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

$30M and 9 months? It’s almost like you could… idk… hire a team with that kind of money and make a movie with them.

Welcome to McCarthyism 2.0. The difference this time is that it’s not a relatively junior Senator doing it via committee hearings, but the White House doing it with full cooperation from virtually every arm of the federal and red state governments.

Cannot believe this is my first time reading this. I realize this is definitely an ice cold take, but The Color Purple is SUCH a good book. I started this book Monday 😂 If you haven't read this, go do the thing. #booksky #thecolorpurple #bookclub #thoughts

End of August sale!! 💙📚

I finally have figured out how to start a story I've been trying to write for months. TBD on whether or not I can actually get through the plot 💀 #writing #drafting #writersblock

your friendly regular reminder leavesubstack.com

Every time someone asks 'how do I learn to write' and anyone answers 'watch brando sando's lectures on youtube!' I want to [redacted]. How about you read some books.

I don't know why people don't just... go read books. That's how you learn to write tbqh.

I-No

fighting games are for the bisexuals.....

The GBF Meg-athread! With Meg having just been announced as an upcoming DLC character for GBVSR, I figured I’d put together a lore thread going over what her deal is for people that don’t play the mobile game! I think about her story a LOT for my fanfics, so I think I’m well equipped for this lol

GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- 2.00 is coming 2026! Along with some additional characters 👀 #GGST #ASWxEVO

Hey guys lost my cosplay knife for Meg at the evo arena last night! Security/lost and found doesn’t have it so putting this out praying someone found it. Still here for the rest of the day so any likes/RTs appreciated!

Rewatching KPop Demon Hunters and the fight choreography is so fun. I need a beat-‘em-up action game made ASAP. Let me throw knives as Zoey!

It just hit me like a truck that it's been almost 5 years since Unus Annus. o w #mementomori #unusannus

Yup. That pretty much sums up my feelings.

UPDATE: Hankison has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison. Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings “criticized prosecutors for making a ‘180-degree’ turn in its approach to the case and said political factors appeared to have influenced its recommendation for a one-day prison sentence.”

Look Out. 2026.

Historians who work with oral history etc know this effect. It increases significantly around traumatic events, & over multiple retellings, which is one reason testimony around eg the JFK assassination is contradictory. Memory isn’t a record of events; it’s your brain forming a narrative for you.

HUGE VIDEO POST!! My little sponsored vlog with Konami at Anime Expo! Please go watch, give it some love AND!! Enjoy watching the intro to Silent Hill f that's in there 😳 youtu.be/gvJndz2sn0g

I mean, great. Yes, more prominent people calling out fascism is good. But Joe Rogan has absolutely inundated Americans with misinformation and is one of the key people responsible for the electoral outcomes that brought this on.

I've tried several times to find words to express my complete contempt and disgust to no avail so let me just say fuck the GOP

#HappyPride for the next 335 days, too.
