Little else boils my piss more than people playing the class card to justify using AI.
I grew up dirt fucking poor and my parents instilled in me from the day I was born that if you love something or someone, you 👏 have 👏 to 👏 put 👏 in 👏 the 👏 work 👏 because 👏 nothing 👏 worthwhile 👏 comes 👏 easy 👏

All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

I hung out in this room, with this man, one delightful afternoon.
Today is the birthday of cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, the creator of Peanuts. (Nov. 26, 1922-Feb. 12, 2000.)

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

Singing Stan Rogers earlier reminded me of the fact that Sonya and I haven't been to a Burns Night supper since January 2020 and goddamn them all I miss it, miss it, miss it

I will always have a soft spot for artists and illustrators who pretty much embodied their art, such as Edward Gorey and Roz Chast
Happy birthday Roz Chast 🎂

Oh yes it's another episode of Fun With Foone, who had quite a time with an algorithm recently
I tested a machine learning model designed to detect NSFW content. It marked this image as unsafe, because of Tim Allen's breasts (marked in blue) and my hand-penis (marked in green)

I love the excitement trying to be drummed up here for "Saturday Night on Sunday" as if 2/3 of the show doesn't take place after midnight (I know, I know, but)
Also sing hey for the ill-fated Mardi Gras special, the biggest debacle the show has ever been involved in

This short (The Big Snooze, 1946) is probably one of the ten best cartoons ever made. Take it from me: a freak of nature.
I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT, CHARLIE BROWN.
