Make a personal website. It can be really simple! Do it for free at neocities.org! But have one of your very own that no one else controls. And start a newsletter. Make sure the service allows you to export and move your subscribers. Okay, now you have some independence and options.
Regardless of the issues w/ the TikTok ban, these kind of takes are strange to me. Do people not realize these apps are constantly dying (Friendster, Orkut) or withering away (Tumblr, MySpace) or "pivoting" in ways that crash industries (Facebook, Twitter)? You cannot ever trust them.
Someday writers and publishers will all collectively learn the folly of putting all their business eggs in one platform basket!

Ironically, I think the fatal flaw in the Antigonid system is simply, "Macedonia is adjacent to Greece."

Not even the Romans really pull meaningful military resources or manpower out of Greece. The Antigonids are forced by geography to pour resources into a region that is always a net-cost.

i will also die angry at the genAI crowd for deliberately causing the general public to conflate the ocean-boiling plagiarism machine with USEFUL forms of machine learning, like that wildfire early-detection system they're using around Kelowna now
"You sneer at data-scraping our posts, but machine learning is why we can take cameras the size of a fingernail."

Yes, those are two things that are true. Two tangentially unrelated things, sharing no causal connection. There is no big tech innovation lurking behind plagiarism remixers.

My review of Gladiator II (2024) is now up at @foreignpolicy.com !

I confess I didn't much like the film. As history, its nonsense, but we knew it would be. But its also weak as a movie, reenacting its better predecessor rather than telling a new story.

‘Gladiator II’ Is an Empty Prayer at the Altar of the Franchise
My compliments to the special effects team. Everyone else, see me after class.

Ok, this is legitimately such a succinct and to the point description of what I think the core weakness of the Ptolemaic and Seleucid kingdoms was that I'm a bit embarrassed not to have come up with someone so sharply to the point.
"I'm going to create a landed elite with special privileges that could in no way ever be applied to everyone, or even a particularly large slice of the population. I am sure this isn't going to blow up in my face."

In regards to posting older art, I realized that I haven't drawn my favorite OC Sophie in a long time so here's her shitty ex-boyfriend Brice instead 💕🥰 I want to put him in a microwave so bad (affectionate)
