Blessed gift for me I received Three notebooks, and a lefthanded pen

i simply believe that if we want to resist the financialization & ruination of human culture, we need to start by refusing to engage with art (and each other!) with a mindset of disposability and hyper-individualist addiction

Die Hard is of course a Christmas movie, it's also an excellent movie. However, if you tell me that Die Hard is your favourite Christmas movie, I am going to assume you are a boring wannabe edge lord with no joy, whimsy or magic in your life.

docseuss.medium.com/lore-is-a-tr... Great article by @docseuss.bsky.social I'm reminded of Viriconium in the matters of lore, and how it does all it can to defy it.

Creative exercise: alternate timeline where Xenogears got its sequel. Figuring out how the plot might work; reverse engineering aspects of Xenoblade 1-3 So far, going to interesting places #writingsky #xenoblade #gamewriting

Gen AI used up more water this year than people consumed globally. ...I don't think you understand... YOUR STUPID HAHA FUNNY CHAT GPT, AI FILTERS AND IMAGE GENERATORS USED UP MORE WATER WITHIN THE SPAN OF A CALENDAR YEAR THAN THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE DID G L O B A L L Y !!! Wake up you stupid cunts

Draw that line in the sand with concrete, a mile long and a mile wide. Paint it fuligin, and in argent paint, scribe an extensive letter that tells those AI sloppies to get lost, among other things

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

Altman is such a fucking fraud that he's just openly admitting now it's a data collection exercise. These companies just want your data. It's always been about getting your data. They're not profitable so all the can do is consume. Consume energy. Consume memory, consume data. Frauds.

Honestly, this week’s diary explains everything... - Trump spending Christmas threatening the BBC. - MI6 warning of war while Britain reaches for the sherry. - Santa, according to YouGov, would vote Green. Meanwhile am off to Bavaria for hock and cake.

More art for Elric , blood and souls for Arioch

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Weird writing exercise to try: write your characters as if they're in a fighting game. You have a small window to relay their character, speech patterns, and their relations to the opponent. youtu.be/yS9R91UOoH4 #writing #writersky

"I cannot remember"

Liz Truss is helping Trump sue the BBC. Are there no depths of national betrayal to which Tories won't sink. Hopefully the decision of the Pulitzer board to demand his financial and health records in disclosure will deter Trump from using lawfare to silence critics' and Truss will look even more dim

Hey everyone going WELL TIME TO PLAY MORE FORTNITE TO HUNT DOWN PEOPLE WEARING HARRY POTTER STUFF No. Stop playing Fortnite. They're partnering with Rowling and Harry Potter in 2025, with full knowledge of what that decision means. Stop supporting them. Stop playing the game.

Perfection is the obsession of getting that one line right Momentum is getting through with your might Perfection is stillness, fearing motion shall bring ruin Momentum is the effervescence of ideas brewing

I want this so much as a story, no matter the medium.

Finished Malazan: Bonehuntere Thematic thoughts - disruption of systems and plans BT unforeseen agents - stagnation/stalling of rebirth - the ethics of powers moving forward Can be an endurance game at times, but rewards with resolutions and hooks with lingering threads #booksky #malazan

"Men might pretend to be trans to harm women" WHY DON'T YOU ACTUALLY HOLD MEN TO ACCOUNT FOR ONCE THEN INSTEAD OF BLAMING TRANS PEOPLE

Angeline Era is out NOW!!! ^.^ here's a breakdown of some elements and techniques I used to create the HUGE visual world of Era. Ultra-dense action and secrets meant a bigger focus than ever on visual clarity and communication! ⚔️🔍 See it in action!! store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...

I find it very tiring that some people think that HP fandom is like a load-bearing pillar of Western culture which must necessarily be maintained in some form, especially when its most popular expressions are literally "shit that never happened in the books" (Marauders, Dramione, Drarry, etc.)

This makes me feel better about my own writing

So much bull thrown upon the world, and the words cannot arise beyond the usual sentiments: petulant manchildren tearing up the world to live their pathetic fantasies through technologies bereft of soul; willful ignorance, apathy or antipathy behind the banal evils.

Managed to make a general idea of my book's main protagonist, Astram. Made using heroforge and Robert Gould's cover of "Dreamthief's Daughter" by Michael Moorcock #writingsky #characterdesign #michaelmoorcock #fantasy

Seeing people blast the Amazon AI dubs but then announce they’ll be streaming Where the Winds Meet I understand you were never likely to watch or engage with these anime dubs to begin with, but please be aware these things are doing the same thing - replacing the human element within art you love.

While it would be easy to wait for the bubble to burst, would be even better to accelerate it. Joining together to outdo the cba (creatively bankrupt arses) and their cyber stool samples

no bully the bull pls 🥺

The attack on his niece was a few years ago. Everything this scumbag has done since has been with full awareness of what he's been empowering and emboldening. To come out with this now is gobsmacking. I don't know how he's got the nerve.

This, coupled with my familiarity with Planescale's reputation, and this article by @docseuss.bsky.social provides me much to think over, like any effective work of criticism docseuss.medium.com/lets-reconsi...

The mind is bludgeoned Days and days under its weights Unable to rise Crushed by the new Calamity of the day Unable to move Again and again Cries of fools' greed smothers air Unable to think Yet we must endure To rise, to move and to think Of good tomorrow #haiku #poetrysky #poem

lol two years ago, I made this meme, still relevant now (with more pages)

Finished volumes 1 and 2 of "Kill 6 Billion Demons". Each background is brimming with lives outside of our protagonist, convincing me that even at the very beginning, this is a grand world. Our protagonist is very much the mouse willingly returning to the lions' den #writing #killsixbilliondemons

Sometimes, a front page can sum up quite a lot that’s wrong with the world. Including the paper itself which has been so complicit in getting us to a place where children born to refugees could be deported, Trump celebrates despotic wealth and Boris Johnson’s sister moans about not being rich. Ugh.

Rage flares, it's source far Unable to break by hand Can only detach Disconnected self A warm dissociation To hold sanity Must regain rage Well tempered by good reason Against destruction

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare
