Whenever I see a venture capitalist group buying up an artistic platform or a website or a newspaper and picking it apart, I'm reminded of a Stephen King quote from a documentary about him possibly making a "better investment" than buying a radio station:

Dynamite Headdy / ダイナマイトヘッディー
When I drew the scene where Headdy danced to Bit It, I thought a lot about how to connect the scene. I drew this scene by referring to each frame.

Apparently the AI bros are on another round of "Hatsune Miku is AI, checkmate luddites" so this is just a reminder that the singer behind Miku was paid and still earns royalties, and beyond that, Miku is nothing more than a MIDI soundboard with advanced pitch converter options, it is not genAI.

Cool backgrounds on The Flintstones (s01e22 "The Tycoon"). I've been watching the show in order and this episode immediately jumped out, the background designs feel even more UPA-like than usual, and the average lawn quality in Bedrock seems to have taken a huge leap.

All this discussion of networking and making friends has been deeply alienating to me, as someone who can make neither friends NOR professional contacts due to being immensely off-putting in a way that is somehow obvious to everyone I meet but no one will explain it to me
