The story here is not that Kate Nash has an OnlyFans, it's that working class artists can't make a living anymore.
That means no Beatles, no Led Zeppelin, no Depeche Mode, no Cure, and no Bowie. It's cultural suicide.

For sure man: Larry Summers, Peter Thiel, Ehud Barak, Peter Mandelson, Bill Gates, and basically every other oligarch, power broker and political bigwig in the western power structure were all taken in by a devious Russian plot to enact the precise policy suite they’ve espoused their entire careers.

Might be a good idea to stop using all the World’s water to make scud vids of Buzz Lightyear tossing off Gandalf.

On this day in 1976, Jenette Kahn, a comics outsider was installed as publisher of DC Comics, which was failing and in danger of shutting down completely. At the time I thought WTF, what sort of corporate skullduggery is this? As did most of comicdom. Man, were we all wrong. She's a legend.

Today’s lunchtime Stramash diversion is the inside of the University Cafe circa 1960 although I took a liberty with the Kidnapped Poster. An excuse to practice composition if nothing else

I'm free for the comic of this, Thomas Automatic.
we're getting a gritty down-to-earth Thomas who can't stop drinking after his wife was killed in a bank robbery gone wrong

Truly boneheaded article on the BBC website on the rise of AI slop that seems to want to differentiate between “good” and “bad” gen AI. It’s ALL slop, no matter how seemingly benign or crass. This is an attempt to introduce fake nuance into a clear moral decision. You’re anti-theft or you’re not.

0-0 at Easter Road in a disappointing result and performance for Rangers. Lucky to get a point to be fair, Hibs had much the better chances. Might end up a decent point in the final shake up, but sets us back for the moment. Zero cutting edge today, final pass woeful, forwards extremely poor.

Use the materials you're hoarding.
Use that cute pen, the fancy tape, one of the 40 notebooks.
Draw with those alcohol markers before they dry up.

Art materials are meant to be used, not gather dusts.

"I'm afraid to waste it." Time spent using them = experience. And experience is never wasted.
ARTISTS: quote with some random art advice!!

knowing how the story has progressed for Satoshi Kon (RIP) and Aronofsky (pro-AI, rich) , this is a very sad thing to reflect on
Satoshi Kon talks about how Requiem for a Dream took from his film Perfect Blue (1997)

This is terrible news for the arts in Glasgow and in Scotland generally. We all lose when spaces like this close. Can't help but feel a tinge of bitterness about this one.
