When I was a smol, my dog got a faceful of it and then came in the house before we knew what was happening.

My room was at the bottom of the back door stairs, where it was the worst. Thus, it is seared into my brain pretty indelibly.

It's not great!!

Awrl, hug and petting, and many sympathies.

I do not typically make personal appeals, but this is someone I care about very much.

Your reach, if nothing else, is greatly appreciated, in helping them find a new place to call home.

Thank you. 💜

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

Oh, love that. And it'll be an hour before they track them down, assuming they can, and they haven't just vanished (as happened to a coworker of mine).

Visiting some backwoods just a few minutes from my place here in Toronto. So pretty, and so quiet.

Van has lovely beaches, but getting into the deep of Stanley Park or Pacific Spirit takes a long time to do. I missed how accessible this depth of nature is.

Hey everyone, we have some big news to share!

LACKADAISY - Last Call

A preview of Lackadaisy Season One - the Speakeasy is in its prime as Mitzi and the band regale the crowd with an original musical number, Last Call. This seemed like the ideal way to announce that Lackadaisy is now officially a ‪Glitch‬ Production!!
