Whenever anarchism — or any idea more radical than the status quo — gets dismissed as unserious, it's worth remembering the current system runs on things like "we put all the money on a scam machine that tells rich dipshits they're god."

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

I like the little details in it, like being able to switch your token art quickly if your character has multiple outfits or uploading a sound file for your character’s anthem in combat.

Ran my first game with the Codex for Draw Steel. It’s a really good tool! Even in development, one of my players (who runs an in person game) said he’s considering just having people bring their laptops to the table and run it off that.

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

Late to the party but I watched the new Superman movie. My favorite part about it was that it obviously took place in a comic book universe, not our universe where comic book people show up.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

For context that's a third the price the RIAA expected a single human to pay for just downloading 24 songs a decade ago (after cutting the ruling down from $1.5m, or $62,000 per song), and that's not adjusting for inflation:

If you ever play Trash Pals by @gothhoblin.me I highly recommend drawing whatever maps you might need on pieces of trash.

the entitlement fans feel to the work of authors they purport to love rises to the level of sickness, in my opinion. sanderson is beloved because he vomits out words like a busted standpipe, hardly ever holding up Consumption

Counterpoint. George R. R. Martin should purposely not finish these books and have a stipulation in his will that no one else can do so after he dies.

Fans Have a Point — George R.R. Martin Should Let This Acclaimed Fantasy Author Finish 'Winds of Winter' Instead

George R.R. Martin is taking forever to finish Winds of Winter, so why not hand it to fellow fantasy author Brandon Sanderson?

Self-describing one's art as "content" was an own-goal that made it easier for AI stans to erase the idea that humans w/souls are creative & capable of superior works of art.

To me, "content" is the perfect grey, gruel, featureless word for what genAI & ChatGPT burps up as product (derogatory)

Quoted posts: "I've long disliked 'CONTENT' as used by Makers of Things to describe what they make + who they are. 'Content' is a gormless word w/zero personality that's been weaponized by capitalism. It's a raygun erasing the person who makes something and devaluing their talent and skill and role in making it."

"When you make your work anonymous by slapping a generic "content" label on it, or beige your profession by identifying as a "content creator," you make it easier for capitalism to normalize treating anything you make as faceless, and worthless. "Content" has always been an iffy, yikes, do-harm word (with regards to art and artists)."
