Found this recording of Rita Moreno performing “Fever” on The Muppet Show from 1976. 14/10

Surprise surprise, Marvel and Disney used AI for the Spider movie. Duh. Have you not been following? Secret Invasion anyone? Marvel has built its history on exploiting incredible artists to save a buck. It won't stop here. If you want AI out of your media, stop paying for slop.

Hey, friends! Here are some thoughts on using planes in your compositions.

“.. I asked a few AI researchers whether they could name any other real-world software that scales so poorly. None of them could think of any. “.. By economic and engineering measures, generative AI might be the worst technology ever deployed.” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Zines used as evidence to convict in Prairieland case The possession of zines appear to have been used as evidence in the recently concluded Prairieland case, chilling free speech.

Just got a spam call. I didn't say anything when I answered because I was suspicious. They started their spiel and I interrupted to say "take me off your list." His reply, "No, I will not take you off my list motherfucker!" And then he hung up. 😳

is this good:

Give me your Kung Fu movie recommendations. I want to feel like the Wu-Tang are crawling through the screen

For Trans Day of Visibility you are all required to go check out You Will Die In This Place (liz-shrikestudio.itch.io/you-will-die...). A powerful ttrpg/art piece that is about so many things I (a straight, cis-man) am unqualified to talk about, but it makes me want to learn.

No budget? No problem! Free art from dead people for your games: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/public-dom... #ttrpg #boardgames #gamedesign #publicdomain #freeart #art

"Yet someone like Peter Thiel looks at Dune and says that the message of Dune is 'develop the deserts,' which is not even close to what Frank Herbert had in mind or what any reading of the text could support."

AI is the thalidomide of our time.
