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.

I have some heavy reads to get through.

Two paperback books with bright yellow spines, one titled "BIMBOS OF THE DEATH SUN" and the other "BLOODHYPE".

Do I have a podcast episode for you!

(The short answer if you don’t want to listen is, and would prefer to make me sad is: yes. It’s modeled after a ring called a leitai, and there was an actual all-fighters-welcome tournament in China in 1920 that used one)

I think you're right. It also shows perspective and scale really easily so they don't look like they're floating in space if the ground is plain.

Is there a reason why anime fighting tournament arenas are always big concrete grids? Is this based on something in reality? I've wondered about this for a long time.

Between the Dynamite and Ramage taping Tony surprised all of us by bringing out our star player for the Milwaukee Bucks. He was just as geeked as we were!

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"
