I did the pixel art animations for this, gave them to THE MICHAEL TRIUMVIRATE, they worked their sinister magics and behold! An actual music video! Just like they had in 1995! TBH, I’m still a bit bewildered that I was allowed anywhere near this, but I’m delighted with how it all came out.
Got to spend some time last night with the best dug I’ve ever known. He’s old, tired & very ill and it’s quite likely to be the last time I have in his company. I took him an obnoxious duck toy and some treats, gave him many pats and reassured him that he is and always will be the king of dugs. 💔

the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life
I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

Have never known a being to dedicate every facet of his existence to the pursuit of his own comfort quite the way Artemis does.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

Got nothing against this band, but let's just be a wee bit self aware here. This is the least organic explosion since oppenheimer.

"..the preconditions were all there: suffocating top-down control of the media, rapid technological change, let-them-eat-cake behavior among the courtier class, weaponized religious bigotry, mansions with hideously de trop ballrooms…

"For the first time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71 percent believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate."

The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

Pixel art of Lews Castle & Museum nan Eilean, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis.
This was a total ball-ache due to the (entirely self-imposed) scale restrictions, but I think it came out decent.

Starmer's language was deplorable.
It was grotesquely offensive, accusing people who have brought their gifts to this country of doing "incalculable" "damage"; & politically foolish, in endorsing Farage's claims of an establishment conspiracy.
But bad analogies with Powell miss the key problem. 🧵
