'Twilight.' (1892) Relatively unknown today, Charles-Victor Guilloux exhibited his paintings at the Salon alongside Paul Gauguin and the Nabis artists. A reviewer praised his work as 'remarkable, he is clearly a master colourist.'

David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

If anyone is interested, my commissions are currently open. A simple ink drawing usually runs around $70, and wooden dice trays start at $200. I can do everything from pet portraits to fursonas, but sorry, no NSFW or kink. DM me if you're interested.

Thinking about Weapons and how interesting and thoughtful it is and also just exhausted that yet another film I otherwise really like can’t help brutally annihilating a happy queer couple.

Deezer, I think, also pays more. Not as large of a library.

fwiw i think bandcamp is carving out a positive niche. they are owned by Epic Games so who knows how it will go but i think they've been trying to fill the gap made by enshitification

This is genuinely, actually disgusting. I quit Spotify years ago over the Joe Rogan shit but this really should be the last straw if you’re still using it. Apple Music, and Tidal both pay more per stream than Spotify and offer comparable catalogs.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Once, in computer games, someone would present a new topic, like baseball. They would say "I managed to use the computer to depict a facsimile of baseball," and whether or not you gave a fuck about baseball you'd see their work and say "damn, you kinda did." And you would think about the world.

We could just not have any more Avatar films though. Like that's a good option. He could make something else. Maybe something that doesn't cost a 'metric fuckton'.

James Cameron says he must find a cheaper way to produce the Avatar movies in order to continue making them. https://bit.ly/4qnlOpl

What if I just started calling Greggs ‘Gregory’s’? Is this my 2026 resolution

media consolidation and slowing subscription growth have media giants price gouging their subscribers in a bid to goose earnings.

As a result, streaming video services saw 29% higher prices year over year, the highest increases across any consumer good or service. Behold the innovation:
