My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

I don't know when I last read something like the transcript out of Minnesota, so I spent the evening putting this together.

Last night, at least one federal agent shot me multiple times w/ pepper balls in my leg after they dispersed hundreds of protesters away from the MDC driveway on Alameda Street in DTLA. I was covering the protest for @lataco.bsky.social. This is the 2nd time I've been shot by the feds since June.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day
Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

Race as a construct is so powerful that only now are many people saying ‘they are killing us’.
They have been killing us. We have all been us the whole time.

This is going to sound dramatic, but that’s the internet for you. This is probably the most important VHS I ever rented (1991), shaping my sense of humor and cementing the longest, closest friendship of my life. Chris is doing the lord’s work preserving this.
I am currently updating my encode of Chris Elliot's FDR: A One Man Show to include a retail release that was sent to me after the fact. This does not have watermarks on the tape and seems to have generally more balanced color.

It's just occurred to me that the deep freudian reason for me typing all this crap for the one or two people who will actually hack the game and notice this is to vent my frustration at never being asked to do one of those daft writeups for a magazine about 'my work in progress'!

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

“In the years ahead, as more and more of what makes us who we are is gobbled up by fewer and fewer ghoulish robber barons, we’re all going to have to decide how much of ourselves we’re willing to keep renting from people who hurt us.”
I never thought I would walk away from Star Trek. I’ve written about it for a decade and I’ve eagerly shared it my entire life. But given who owns it now and who stands to profit from Trekkies’ loyalty, I can’t keep promoting it. The Trekkie in me won’t allow it.
Here’s why I’m beaming out.
