If you like arts and crafts, and you also like to see comedians being absolute dickheads, check out the pilot episode of ‘Make It ‘Til You Make It’ - a competitive craft game show where comedians face off to make a craft, but we’ve massively fucked them over.

We put lots of art facts in it, so it’s also an educational experience

Comedian Ella Lawry puts on a poncho on the set of ‘Make It ‘Til You Make It’. A graphic is on the lower bottom left of the screen that says “Art Fact! Sometimes when I go to Spotlight I need to have a lie down”.

Fun BTS fact: I tried on the shark suit about an hour before we started filming and the zipper broke IMMEDIATELY, so I was just in it for the whole afternoon.

Greta Thunberg donned a keffiyeh with an
"AUTISM" T-shirt that included an image of a skeleton dual wielding automatic rifles before she left on her flotilla.
What do you think she was trying to convey with this t-shirt?
AUTISM

For anyone in Naarm/Melbourne (or beyond) in the mood for a folk-horror-esque ramble through the bush, my PhD artwork, Solitary Soundwalks ‘Wilson Reserve’ is now available to buy through my website ( www.japinney.com ) or at Ladyhawke - the bookshop in Ivanhoe. Remember, you walk at your own risk.

The pocket book artwork ‘Solitary Soundwalks ‘Wilson Reserve’’ is held up against an area of Wilson Reserve in Ivanhoe, Victoria, Australia ob Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country. The front cover of the book is a simplified, colour blocked depiction of the same path and bridge through bush land that it is photographed in front of.

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via Al video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people."

For #SpecialInterestSunday, I'm going to talk about (so-called) Bad Art.

I'm going to yap about the creative process, Bad Art as a bogeyman--and then why I love Bad Art anyway: who it serves & what it does, the gaps it bridges, the doors it opens.

I just have a lot of feelings, okay.

Thank you, me from November last year, for reminding myself that I wanted to do Gandalf Big Naturals for Halloween this year.

An Apple Watch on my wrist, displaying the reminder “Gandalf big naturals Hallow…”

By the way, you can in fact run a media business where people give you money for goods and services. 56k+ people give The Onion ~$100 and we give them a year of newspapers. This business didn’t exist last year in this way. People will pay for good shit. Now’s the time to break glass and go for it.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

Carol Rosenberg @carolrosenbergnyt.bsky.social · Sep 11

The flags were lowered last night around the base by order of President Trump after the killing of Charlie Kirk and will stay at half-staff on this U.S. outpost in southeast Cuba until sunset on Sunday.
