The thing about me being a GenAI skeptic is that I am a third gen early adopter. My machine worker grandpa thought computers were the future and had an Apple IIE. I had two Geocities sites. Was on Facebook when it was still Harvard only. You know how hard you have to try to make me hate new tech???

"The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable."
— Kurt Vonnegut
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
"Dropout.tv cop show crossover" "Measles rates at record high" "New Xbox CEO wants AI to save fertility rates" "Evangelion reboot from the Nier Automata guy"
it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays
pen and watercolor illustration of dale cooper from twin peaks. he is looking to the right, driving while recording a voice memo into a recorder in his left hand. speech bubbles say "diane, 11:30 am, february 24th. entering the town of twin peaks" and "i've never seen so many trees in my life"
happy twin peaks day 🌲🥧☕️
Just got a wired headset
The countdown to forgetting and leaving my desk wearing them begins
In my restless dreams, I see that town.
a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture
get weirder 🫵
Finally getting back to building this cosplay
Going to try to get it done by the end of next month, but if not then definitely by Denver FanExpo 🤘🏻
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.
no more AI "art." i want art made by people because i want to know how people think, feel, live. how a day on this earth is for someone else. a night. and why the heart, though so heavy, still wants to dance. i want art that looks into this mystery. art that connects me to another person who wonders

People who assign the label "slop" to the third similar game in a genre they see in a year would not survive the era of wii and ps2 shovelware
Iron Man meme, edited, Obadiah Stane yelling, "Your ancestors made timeless art in a cave! With berries and ash!"
"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"
sorry for being cringe I'm trying to enjoy being alive
Ahh I love slow burn cosmic horror <3
Great article about the Umamusume/Broncos fandom collision this year. Particular highlight is this cosplayer, who created a character based on Blucifer, the horrifying horse sculpture at the Denver airport.
Do you think it's part of her backstory that she killed her creator? Because Blucifer did.
a black and white typography edit that reads "the homosexual and the transsexual must always seek to liberate the other for they fight the same fight!" to the right of the text is a dandelion with the roots exposed. the entire image is edited to look photocopied.
seen this going around lately so i wanted to post it here
✊
Liminal spaces in VR are so neat to explore
sue sylvestor meme from the show glee, with text saying "I'm going to create art project that is so unprofitable"
deciding on what to work on for next month
it’s so cool that the only use case for ai is to distort everyones perception of reality. this needs to be heavily regulated immediately, especially when a government can do this
me last year: ill make it so i never con crunch for 2026
me now: the crispiest and most crunchiest guy still making last minute prints
edit of you wouldn't download a car old meme says you wouldn't read your emails. The font is in a rough graffiti stencil style that looks like it's missing paint in parts. the text is inconsistently raised and lowered in the background is a mix of horizontal streaks of maroon and light blue on black like VHS artifacts.
One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.
I am not kidding when I say this little goofy thirty second long video has given me so much strength over the years.
Eee my bro @xivek.bsky.social got me the Amethyst deck!! <3
