Did you know that my artist @kevinfagaragan.bsky.social actually takes commissions???

He could use some assistance with impromptu bills, and maybe I'm biased, but I think his art's super good and expressive.

Check his stuff out!

Had the most surprising gift in the post today. I’m touched and honoured. Thanks so much for having me all those years ago, @oddworldinc.bsky.social - if you ever want me again for anything, I’ve got your back ❤️

People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Oh, the Minecraft event in Crossworlds kind of is annoying. The Minecraft stage is a permanent choice and everyone keeps choosing it so we get it over and over. Yeesh.

Oh, seems Oshi No Ko's anime is moving to Crunchyroll. Yeah, Hidive is sadly dead at this juncture. Shame because we really need the competition. Also too bad Oshi's ending is so appallingly bad that I can't be bothered to care about future anime stuff.

Finished the Perzel farm quest and got a bunch more sidequests to do. This demo is pretty meaty, which I appreciate.

Oh....Trails in the sky has monsters in a box that are just way too high level for you to defeat at that point in the game. Bad design. I've died multiple times and had to 'retry with lowered enemy strength." Just too many numbers in there. Really should've made that easier....

Antifa is not an organization. And the fact that this administration can just pretend that it is and then target people and claim they are part of it is both stupid and terrifying.

Also, just proves all the more that the people in this administration are the fascists.
