Artist: pen, ink, oil, acrylic, wire, the dreaded AI. Dabbler in music generation, D&D, nerd stuff, irrational rationalist, left leaning centrist, no position is inviolable. All ideas should be challenged, especially bad ones.

I spent a very long time on this album, it's still in progress still shuffling things around and trying to decide how the humans should sound but I am proud of this one.

I kinda can't wait for the AI to destroy the credibility of everyone. When the fake news and the real news can be flawlessly manipulated by AI and anyone can become a puppet you can't tell is real or not. The internet will go back to squirrels skiing on the water and lolcats.

When are we gonna throw Trump into the Boston harbor for his taxes (tariffs) on the American people?

They are good for corporate business and no one else. Their economic religion is trickle-down-economics. Which never seems to work out for the people at the bottom of the corporate and business ladder.

And yet somehow they have sold their lies to those very people.

I'm not making millions? Insiders definitely are, but I am making what I can out of this clusterfuck of a situation.

Anyone who is watching the market closely is making paper. I am. I sold when Trump got into office. I bought stocks when the market took a dump on itself. I'm slowly getting out and putting $ into gold and commodities to insulate myself from inflation and the dollar tanking.

that means gold is doing good, if you want to protect your liquidity from inflation dump it into gold.

I'm guessing they meant movement.

I was trying to paint the picture in your mind. Giant flaps of face. It was the kind of image that scars you for life and you can never unsee.

aw agent orange didn't win trying to get rid of maga for making them all anti vax?

This reminds me of a video I saw of an arborist working in China who was hit in the face by falling tree branch. From the bridge of his nose to his lower jaw, like petals of a flower made of disfigured and pulverized muscle bone skin and sinew flapping out from the hole in his face

He survived.

"No one wants to protect a pedo protector"

Isn't that what they've been doing this whole time? Sure I would love that republicans finally decided to have a conscious but they have to answer for all the bullshit they've done up to this point!

Censorship eliminates the possibility for open discourse, people are so consumed with the language that they don't even get to the intent behind the words. People spend all their time attacking each other over their language and never even broach what actually needs talking about.

Matthew Abel @matthewabeldemesne.bsky.social · 16d

have you taken your resperidol today?

Matthew Abel @matthewabeldemesne.bsky.social · 16d

Why does the moment need to come? Certainly Trump, and his administration have committed enough treason to be branded as traitors right??

Matthew Abel @matthewabeldemesne.bsky.social · 16d

Ai generated music is crazy good now. I wouldn't even know how to tell the difference between real or generated.

Made this last weekend. It sounds awesome.

Trump is the first president to have the government shut down during both of his presidential terms.

go into bankruptcy as you are dying so your kids can also live in destitution.

America...wtf happened?

Matthew Abel @matthewabeldemesne.bsky.social · 19d

What could the pros be.
It doesn't need a trailer
it's on time all the time
doesn't have an attitude with other actors/director AI or not
probably works for a substantially reduced salary if any at all
no hospitality or technical rider
no insurance
no stunt doubles
ageless or can be any age
etc

I mean, this is a natural byproduct of a collective of people being willfully ignorant. MMR vaccines last for life. Not getting them is just asking for it. Whole towns of people not getting it, well, are reaping what they sowed.

America's "For Sale" sign has been put in wide open public view for the first time. I wonder if that sign can ever be put away again.

Matthew Abel @matthewabeldemesne.bsky.social · 20d

Unfortunately that is America's way of doing things, FORGE AHEAD we'll work out the details later. This way of thinking has bitten us in the ass for the past 100 years you'd think someone would come around to the thought of getting ahead of the potential problems of our disastrous domestic policies.

Matthew Abel @matthewabeldemesne.bsky.social · 20d

He's actually on par.
