Saw Grandaddy tonight, playing all of Sophtware Slump and then some, cried during Ghost of My Old Dog. Eric and I started listening to them in college but we were too broke at the time to go see them, so this was our first time. It was perfect 🥲 Jason sounds exactly the same.

A photo of the band Granddaddy on stage, taken from the audience. The band is playing in front of a large screen with mountains and fields and blue skies.

Another photo of the band on stage, this time behind them is an image of the cover to the album The Sophtware Slump.

What if corporations talked about other things we don't want the same way they talk about AI?

She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

Pretty sure I say this every Columbus Day, but getting hauled back to Spain for excessive brutality in 1500, just as the Inquisition was really getting fired up, is some genuinely Evil Guys Hall of Infamy material

It infuriates me that as human-made porn is being increasingly censored across the board, AI porn is not only allowed, but celebrated. And AI porn exists because of stolen content from non-consenting, unpaid human pornographers. It's maddening.

“I still can’t believe how unhinged the last update was. Not only the nudity but the motions, boobs bounces more realistically, it’s incredible.”

Elon Musk's xAI seems to have relaxed filters on Grok's video generation, allowing users to create and share explicit AI pornography.

what did she call us | patreon.com/lubchansky

PANEL 1: MATTIE and one other person are handcuffed on a platform over a big cylindrical vat full of glowing liquid. Behind them, TWO ARMED TROOPERS stand. One is shouting, next to a big lever.
TROOPER: You have all been charged with sexual deviance under the new statutes!
TROOPER: You are hereby sentenced…

PANEL 2: Closer in on MATTIE and the person next to her.
TROOPER (VO): …To being dropped into a big vat of acid, thus dissolving your perverted bodies!
MATTIE: I sure did prefer life before we were overrun by fascist stormtroopers.

PANEL 3: The TROOPERS look at each other.
TROOPER 2: Sorry…What did she-he call us?
TROOPER 1: NOT Cool…

PANEL 4: The other TROOPER from panel 3. He's crying, and pulls the lever. Some acid splashes into the frame.
TROOPER: STOP BULLYING ME!
SFX: CLUNK
SFX: SPLASH

The debate.

A small dog tells a woman, "Experiencing the world is beautiful and vivid for me. I smell shit piss and vomit and I love it. You are controlled by ceaseless disgust. You're stunted. Haha."

The woman replies, "Yes. But I can read novels."

This book is incredible. It's truly unique, but I think if you like fantasy worlds that feel real and like they've been around a long time, and mystery and characters who are heartbroken charming fuck ups you will love this.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
