Since Godspeed You! Black Emperor are in the news again, here is my photo of their killer amp for your enjoyment:

A photo of GY!BE’s stage amp. There is red tape on it on which is written, “Transphobes eat shit and die alone.” The shot is low-angle, with stage detritus in the foreground, including a coiled cord.

Oct 14th - #Hackers of the world united to overload the Gibson, and prevent the Da Vinci virus from capsizing an oil fleet, designed to distract from "The Plague's" worm stealing $25m.

📽️📅 Hackers (1995)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Hackers" (1995): First, a group of young people is gathered in a subway car, with one reading a paper as another looks on, while a subtitle reads, "Wait a minute. The 14th... that's the same day the worm ends its run." Second, a person with a striking hairstyle and colorful clothing stands in front of a vibrant, patterned backdrop, saying, "Hackers of the world, unite." Third, a person leans out of a car window, passionately shouting, "Hack the planet!"

A self-portrait in a mirrored elevator. I am sporting the infamous Halloween dress. It is pale beige with a pattern of large, old style tattoo drawings of spooky things in black and orange. There are black cats and skulls and thirteen and Jack-o-lanterns. My legs are bare and orange sneakers to match. Necklace is a pink shaker coffin with bats and a haunted house and a big moon and spiderwebs. It sparkles, too. Black N95 mask. Black & sparkly cat eye glasses. Orange hair popping. I’m just damn spooky.

TikTok filters (& the ilk) and their uncanny valley movements paved the way for the glossing over and acceptance of shitty AI videos. Faces were never meant to shift like that outside of fever dreams.
