Empire of Affliction, by Vertigo Fox
12 track album
vertigofox.bandcamp.com
Empire of Affliction is now out on bandcamp!
A creation of strange synthesis, bizarre guitar, and pure unbridled rage
I'll try to bring it to some other platforms soon, but this one's the important one :D

Whatever her reason, she is - in this one, specific instance - doing the right thing, and suffering the unpleasant consequences of being a woman who's upset right-wingers.
Whether she was doing the right thing never troubled her before, nor did the abuse right-wingers heap upon outspoken women.

In the unlikely event that you were wondering, you don't need to morally re-examine Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She may or may not be pushing for the release of the Epstein Files because of a sincerely held principle or because of cold political calculus. It doesn't actually matter.

Y'all need to have the same kind of smoke for AI Music as you have for AI Art. Okay?
Music is an extremely important part of artistic human expression, and we must not allow it to rot away because 'it sounds just like the real thing' or whatever.
Musicians are going through it too. Fuck AI.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

I probably sound like a broken record, but I cannot wait for this AI bubble to burst, I want to see the architects of this tech to be taken for every penny by those whose artwork they stole for training data, and I want those tools to cease function and be confined to the same memory hole as NFTs.
Ubisoft and Treyarch resorting to regurgitative AI in their big $70 “AAA” games is simply pathetic.
The lack of integrity, the lack of dignity, the lack of pride. Sure, it’s all expected, but nonetheless miserably *pathetic* to witness.
Have some fucking self respect for once.

these are the plantar glands of a beech marten! (Martes foina)
Plantar glands are a cool bit of anatomy some Mustelids have on their hind paws.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Wielding power over the powerless is the mark of the bully. Wielding strength against the weak is cowardice. Real strength is when you have such power, but choose to use it in defence of the vulnerable instead. That is the mark of the true warrior.
