Do yourself a favor, if you haven't seen Redline (2009), find a way to see it. It is so good. It was relevant in 2009, and it's even more relevant now. Thank you to @scarizard.bsky.social for introducing me to this masterpiece.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

If Marvel has any balls left, they’ll sue for trademark/copyright infringement over the use of the Punisher skull. Not going to hold my breath though.

My contract with Blizzard sadly ends in just two weeks. Come October, I'll be looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

dr. hazel 🐝 @hazelmonforton.com · Jul 8

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

I've been shown evidence that Asmongold, Grummz, Llamatodd, et al, are attempting to have my account (along with a number of others) here taken down because of current political events.

I have purposefully said nothing in regards to it.

If my account is taken down, it is for being a trans woman.

Voice actors: stop applying for AI voice training gigs.

They aren’t “opportunities.” They’re pipelines to replace you.
Every script you read teaches the system to mimic you, then undercut you.

Protect your craft.
Don’t train your own replacement.

Thank you! I've been more work into buying longer lasting shoes, so I'd like to take care of them. I'd just never put the work in to learning proper leather care. Most I'd been exposed to before was rubbing black shoe polish all over my marching shoes before performances in HS and college.

EVERYONE STOP

cheese wheel of cheeses

A circular infographic chart categorizing cheeses by type of milk and texture. At the center, four sections are labeled cow, sheep, goat, and buffalo, radiating outward into concentric rings for textures: soft, semi-soft, semi-hard, and hard. Each cheese name is placed within its corresponding segment, with illustrated wedges of cheese circling the outer edge. Cow’s milk occupies the largest portion, featuring well-known varieties like Brie, Camembert, Taleggio, Havarti, Gouda, Cheddar, and Parmesan. Sheep’s milk includes cheeses such as Roquefort, Manchego, and Pecorino Romano. Goat’s milk features options like Chèvre, Crottin de Chavignol, and Humboldt Fog. Buffalo is represented by Mozzarella di Bufala Campana and Buffalo Blue. The cheeses are organized visually so that softer varieties appear closer to the center and harder ones toward the edge. Small colored drawings show each cheese’s texture, rind, and tone, from creamy whites and soft rounds to golden blocks, crumbly wedges, and blue-veined interiors. The background is a deep charcoal gray, making the warm oranges, yellows, and creams of the cheeses stand out clearly.

“Well they should fix their own country!” In most cases, they tried! They tried and through the CIA and other clandestine operations, we installed an autocrat sympathetic to the US. Tell a boomer that and suddenly I’m a “30 year old preaching at a 70 year old who knows the world better.”
