“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Wrote about the temptation to put Gaza on the back burner now that the ceasefire is solidifying—and why we can't let that happen. Gaza still needs you, and me, and everyone to fight until real Palestinian liberation is won. www.discourseblog.com/p/gaza-still...

Gaza Still Needs You

This fight is not over.

A humanoid firefly with a prominent red mantle is standing, looking to the left side of the image ponderously. they have two sets of arms with two fingered hands. One set is being wrung together in front of them in a nervous gesture. The other has the right arm brought with a finger to their mouth and the left is holding a staff with a lantern on its head in a resting position.

A friend commissioned me for this postcard and I got permission to post it as pay what you want! Grab it and share your civic pride.

Go vote! Protest, write and call your reps. Shit sucks and this is one, of many, avenues to make shit less stupid and shitty.

Black and white ink drawing of a multi-age group of people going to vote. Text at the top says "Let's Go Vote Together!' and a low-opacity 'preview' is across the middle.

There are 4 full people all moving towards the left. The first person has short hair, a skirt and is running to the left; behind them is a bearded person wearing a tiger sweatshirt, jeans and chelsea boots (not that you can tell; next is a parent in a motorized wheelchair and a kid is happily marching with them, there's a backpack on the back of the chair and they have short wavy hair; fourth is a balding elderly person with a walker, they've wearing large square glasses, a button up shirt, belted slacks and loafers; cropped on the far right is a tall person in high heeled boots, with long nails, holding their ballot out. Every adult is holding their ballot. The background is loosely a school gym with a wooden floor and posters inspired by most of my polling places being either a school gym or a school cafeteria. I went with gym and put some sporty posters in the back

Hey! I'm doing a fun streaming event this October called Growthtober! Here's the official announcement from the Company. You can check out the comments for the detailed rewards and benefits! Reposts and attendance are appreciated :3

Growthtober Esteemed Customer Thank you for being a valued member of the Sachi Cheese family! We are so happy to hear that you have enjoyed our products, and hope that you have also enjoyed the efforts of our newest marketing experiment, the company mascot streamer ThatCheesyLad. We believe that while the Mascot has made good successes, with over 500,000 slices of cheese sold to viewers in just 4 months, there is still more scope for them to grow. To that end, we are introducing GROWTHTOBER, a limited-time community building event that rewards viewers like you for engaging with the Mascot’s channel, while keeping in spirit with the “spooky season”. EVERYDAY from Oct 5th-Oct-31st, the Mascot will go live on twitch.tv/ThatCheeesyLad from 3 PM EDT to 8 PM EDT, and play a variety of Horror Video Games, most of which come from small creators and developers. During these days, there will be special rewards, based on the Mascot’s growth as a streamer on the Twitch platform! Details for these rewards are attached. Most, if not all these rewards and benefits, will be put into place or production after the month of October, so please do not reach out to our customer support representatives until a reasonable amount of time has passed. We hope you will enthusiastically join and support Cheesy in celebrating GROWTHTOBER!! Best Regards The Elevated Management Team Sachi Cheese Company “The Truth is in the Taste!”
