"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

I have said this before, but eliminating programs that teach a lot of students but don’t have many majors is like a restaurant not buying flour in its grocery delivery because people aren’t ordering flour on the menu.

Annoying to realize just how much of my politics were just imported directly from Kurt Vonnegut when I was 14 but he's often the main one they let you read where it's like "man fuck this country"

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

I created a big anonymous survey for sound designers / musicians & other audio creators. The goal is to better understand our community, how people work & connect to other audio artists. I'd really aprpeciate it if you took the time to answer it an share it around: forms.gle/u2Wr9pezJPC2...

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

🚨 This should be a five-alarm fire situation for parents: a study found that an increase in screen time for children led to a *decrease in brain size*

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

I’m increasingly of the belief that some technologies are simply inimical to a healthy, functioning society, and facial recognition is one of them.

more songs should have a chorus where the narrator tells you their name is cathy

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Getting a Hamm’s as my second round at our regular broomstacking bar has become a go-to, partially due to economy (it’s the cheapest can on the menu), but also because it’s a Minnesota beer and it’s nice to feel connected to my home state. Anyways. (sticker from @harebrained.bsky.social)

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

Learning the difference between being a little uncomfortable and being in actual danger is something you HAVE to learn. Possibly have to start speed running it now if you’re planning on surviving the long term.
