🚨 SIGNAL BOOST 🚨

I've known Brady for decades now (Inner Circle For Life), and he's always been talented as sin with a brilliant eye for graphic design and video editing. And if you've been a fan of what Discotek's been doing, he's been a HUGE part of that team.

If you can, help my bud out.

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

This is the D'Angelo performance that I've never forgotten. This song was already a huge hit but the way he took it from contemporary R&B to church revival illustrated how connected those idioms are. A revelation for those who didn't know, and an affirmation for those who did.

I promise we exist outside the gaze of white folks, I PROMISE! Why do people say things like that. There's tons of interesting work being done that doesn't even think about dominant culture.

The ignorance continues. The Black horror subgenre exists because it’s so little of it. It’s why we talk about it so much, hoping studios and producers will dispel barriers for Black filmmakers, writers, creators so more of our stories are made. And all Black horror isn’t an allegory for white ppl.

Me responding to a tweet that said: “The black horror genre really is just a different allegory for white people over and over.” I responded with: “Reducing Black horror to “white allegories” misses the entire point. Also: Eve’s Bayou, Sweetheart, Bad Hair, Demon Knight, Abby, Night’s End, Vampire in Brooklyn, Spell, The Alchemist Cookbook, Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde, Blacula, Bitch Ass, Def by Temptation, The Boy Behind the Door )

For months I've been following what happened when a company forced AI into the world of craft beer. Legal threats, people quitting, and beer judges in revolt over being told to use AI.

What Happened When AI Came for Craft Beer

A prominent beer competition introduced an AI-judging tool without warning. The judges and some members of the wider brewing industry were pissed.
