OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates

Occasionally I get those pop-up memories and 9(!!) years ago in India I was a guest at the Bengaluru Comic Con. I came to the convention and found they had unexpectedly printed my face on the sign above my signing table and it was giant! Good times!

if you voted in Seattle you gotta make sure your ballot counted now
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Occasionally I do family portraits for people in a cartooned way — it’s a fun alternative to photography if you’re thinking of hiring someone for this kind of service. This is a crew from whom I bought our new old Land Cruiser (they happened to be art fans, so we worked a partial trade).

Was able to catch @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein in the theater before it drops on Netflix tomorrow.

It is a creative delight to behold and the amount of depth resonating in every choice made in this film is an absolute joy to watch. Suffice to say, I absolutely loved it!

“There is no MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner to be hung, no real material change in the world of today versus yesterday. Just the quiet relief of good news that helps us live to fight another day.”

What a breathtakingly lovely piece.
"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

His victory has created a harsh contrast between the world we want and the world we have.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it

Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle.

Thank you @allegrak.bsky.social and the politics editorial team for turning this Head Start kid into a Black woman who writes for the public.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

I was told I'm bad about tooting my own horn, so I want to say thank you to everyone who helped this campaign be a success! It's so appreciated and I'm excited to get this film delivered into the world next year!

Well, this is pretty fun - the YT channel for our documentary production company (www.youtube.com/@inkonpapers...) has officially hit over 1 million views!

I know some people have single videos that do these numbers, but I still want to celebrate this accomplishment as indie film creators! Woo!

So many people were excited for this tote bag and we have a few left so we're putting them online.

This is it. All this talk about “the durability of institutions”, all these people “who take their oaths seriously” — and yet we’re living under a wannabe Nazi regime
