This is REALLY worth a read! It avoids getting stuck on some quick surface level problems with AI art and gets to the heart of things.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

Violence in a church is a wound to the faithful everywhere. No one should be afraid inside of a place of worship, a school, anywhere. It doesn’t have to be this way in the United States.

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

AI has only been useful to me as an artist when kept on a VERY short leash. After the Pixar layoff, I joined a startup making new animation tools. We just released this video reference to anim blocking converter. I hope this helps speed along your blocking first pass! Try it out at getcartwheel.com

Part of the reason MAGA doesn’t like Colbert is because he lives out the values of an actual Christian, which looks nothing like nationalist evangelicalism. It exposes how much of their faith is just performance, driven by ego, and fear.

You’re not “ politicizing a tragedy” if the tragedy is a result of bad policy.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.

It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

It's so New York.
