It's a huge mistake to "adjust to" or "adapt" to generative AI. There's rarely been a more clearcut situation to reject vehemently for so many reasons. One reason beyond those that apply now is the future capacity for proactive manipulation and distortion. We need less outside interference not more.

Desperately needed a Hopeful reading day 😅🌻🌱

Introduce yourself with 10 bands/musicians you've seen live 1. Viagra boys 2-10. Some other ones

Ok so. I do not understand why these people can't get over preferred pronouns. It's just not difficult? It's really not hard? It's wild to watch what is effectively a mass adult temper tantrum fuel a regressive political movement.

from the creator of my favorite video of last year comes a sequel to my favorite video of last year, which is probably going to be my favorite video of this year. both of his videos on AI have so heavily influenced and put shape to my vague poorly defined ideas in ways I didn't know i needed tbh

Bridge is the current passion project.

Lil effects test for the next video. Pretty happy so far! Love getting to take tiny ideas and run with them ☺️

Youtube friends! Need someone to edit your audio? If your VO sounds like you're recording from the bottom of a swimming pool or eating a handful of pop rocks, let's chat! Down to send before/after audio samples. Flexible rates :D

🌠 New Video! 🌠 Join me for a very close reading of Cowboy Bebop's strange and evocative 6th episode. I delve into what the story believes about death and purpose, and arrive at some reflection on how it is that art and artists can become immortal. 3, 2, 1... youtu.be/4XR2f3odioY

Out now: AI and the Murder of Truth. And Air Bud. On AI, education, fascism, paying the Dane-geld, and why there ain’t no rule says a dog can’t play basketball. The follow up to last year’s “You are a better writer than AI.” If you liked that video, this is worth your time. youtu.be/sETvPBVKBAY

You MUST come join the premiere of Josh’s AI ramblings pt2. I’m stunned by how well he pulled this together. My preliminary watch had me thinking, “yes, this is what a skilled, passionate human writer is capable of. There is no substitute.” youtu.be/sETvPBVKBAY

Some dumb stories about how I find cool communists/socialists/anarcho-cuties to hang out with. youtu.be/P1YsdCK6mYE

Oftentimes, "mutual aid" feels like a synonym for GoFundMe or Food Bank. Here's how to get creative around creating systems of community support & care. youtu.be/pngsxNze-5A

NEW VIDEO After a year in the works, my thematic analysis of both the story and wider game design of Xenoblade Chronicles X is here. Hope you enjoy my tribute to a game that really deserves more flowers than it has. LINK: youtu.be/luQnYwy8bSQ

We're bringing the second channel back. I cut this lil story from the previous video but it's on the same topic... how organizing efforts can explode if we're not being considerate of one another 😅 Come hang & lemme tell ya about one very frustrating meeting 🙃 youtu.be/grJPoZYpIik

Wait am I not subscribed to myself lol

✨🎥 NEW – Change-Makers: "Everybody Wants A Village" (Nobody Wants To Be A Villager) A look at the main reason I see organizations fall apart: a lack of peer support. And how easy it is to give that support 😀 (Many examples from my life that felt good to get into 😅) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxU1...

Ah I'm going to be watching this once a week, aren't I? Really, @innuendostudios.bsky.social , thank you for this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv1S...

Literally anyone who follows anyone who follows me needs to watch this video if only to see the payoff to this message Sam sent me a couple of weeks ago

Everyone should watch this because we need to be doing this but selfishly, I need y'all to see the birds with arms. I love them so much.

2 months after femoral osteotomy. Still not allowed to use the leg but 🙃 (but this is the only activity that makes the screaming in my brain stop 🌻💖)

Gonna be chilling and answering a few questions I've been getting, like "what are the logistics of living nomadically?" and "how do I start organizing when I've never tried it?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=HePJ...

What even is 'MCU-ification'? youtu.be/dfD1SsYAR7M

Wonderful video by @afterthoughts.bsky.social about building up your own strength and experience in resistance action. The very end is a powerful call to action that is frank and emboldening. "Be the person in public that you are in your mind." youtu.be/zavx4Obq1OI?...

Sam's recent output is like a warm blanket and a call to action at the same time. Everything can be alright, if we make it alright.

If you are still figuring the WHAT you're going to do after deciding on your Rubicon, or HOW you're going to go about it - do I have the video for you. Just watch it! You should be thinking about this in your daily life.

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

Ok sorry but the phrase "read theory" is always deployed in the most aggravating interactions. In my experience there is a solid correlation between people who use that exact phrase, and people who actually give time to a real campaign. I might just be incensed over old organizing wounds lmao.

Oh god she keeps getting more embarrassing. How. How does she do it.

Thousands of Minnesotans gathered last night to honor Renee Nicole Good. We will never accept that a single federal agent can be judge, jury, and executioner in our streets. ICE needs to get out of Minneapolis.

It is increasingly important to be documentarians of reality

We’ve graduated from “abolish ICE is the moderate position” to “Nuremberg trials for the Trump regime and its Gestapo is the moderate position.”

Impeach, convict, remove.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

"It turns out that mostly when people say ‘New York is noisy’ they really mean 'cars are noisy.'"

We are very serious over here at Afterthoughts Enterprises.
