We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy.

Some thoughts from my new piece:

Many years ago I did a show called Sagas of Sundry.

It was immersive horror, great storytelling, and reality show style skill challenges.

Now I want to bring it back, but call it Tales of Dread.

But I need your help. So I'm taking this project to Kickstarter.

It took over and completely replaced it for me and my home group.

After years of trying different games similar to the Dragon, DS did it.

You say that, but I'm here thinking: "If I do this at work, maybe I can trick them into giving me a raise"

Zelda Williams has asked people to stop sending her AI slop videos of her father Robin Williams:

"It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want"

"You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting [stuff] out of the lives of human beings .. [and] art and music"

Sorry abt the bad experience. Can't speak for everyone, but ime, it's out of misplaced politeness, not bc we judge their French. If there are 15 Fr ppl in a room and 1 EN, we'll switch to English.

could go into a whole history lesson abt Fr/En relations, I'm sure it has something to do with it

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).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

And there it is. The entire attack on Netflix is just a grift for far right influencers to promote a religious streaming site.

imo this is one of the end goal of gen ai, to create sexualized images of pre-pubescent girls. Every time it's the face of a child on a sexualized body.

They want to jerk off so bad they'll burn the planet to the ground doing so

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

A picture of some AI girl standing on an AI landscape with an AI monster behind her. I'm gonna be so real: she looks about 14
