My car is, to put it politely, in pretty bad shape, so I'm finding myself in need of some money to get back on track.

So! Commissions are WIDE OPEN - You come to me with your idea and budget, and I will make it work!

"It's not political" is an odd thing to say while describing the conservative mindset, though. The desire to be the hegemonic demographic, to impose your perception of "norms" on everyone else, is pretty political.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵

I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

Are harp seals responsible for the stalled recovery of Atlantic cod? | “Our analysis revealed that harp seals consume a higher biomass of shared target species than caught by fisheries.”

Sure but harp seals are part of the ecosystem and naturally eat those fish? What are we doing here?
Are harp seals responsible for the stalled recovery of Atlantic cod?
Since Atlantic cod fisheries collapsed in the early 1990s, ecosystems have been less productive and have struggled to recover.

and if you can’t run on that then for fuck’s sake get out of the way and let someone run who can
The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

It can't be said enough that the purity test was "don't fund and arm a genocide" and anyone willing to compromise on that point has no moral standing to scold me about anything

1/2 MBS confronts us w a morally perverse cognitive dissonance: ppl (rightly) recoil at sight of him & condemn Trump for normalizing his execrable acts. But many of same ppl have no qualms abt normalizing vastly worse—Bush, Cheney, Netanyahu. In the end, our nat’l/biz/art leaders have brought us to
Mood.

I was asked in 2019 What I would say to Mohammed Bin Salman.

I said it then and I’ll say it again— I hope the spirit of Jamal Khashoggi haunts MBS for the rest of his life.

People are rightly pointing out that "cancellation" of the type suggested here doesn't actually exist (unless you're the Dixie Chicks), but I think the more pertinent point is how notable it is that every single media outlet imaginable is devoting more and more time to lionizing sex pests
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.

We executed multiple members of that crew.
Heinz-Wilhelm Eck might have something to say about this one.

It has never been more important to do art.

REAL art, not just typing shit into a computer and fawning over what comes out.

I'm already losing clients to this assault of AI on our senses and on our livelihood.

Don't give up.

CREATE!

"an absolute no-no" okay I thought I was using hyperbole in discussing how people talk about this stuff but fuck me. Every time an intentionally disturbing creative decision raises controversy, it's like "wuh oh. :/ I guess they didn't realize how this looks to Normal People. Whoopsie-doodle."
i know you’re not supposed to read the conversation in the comments but the conversation is depressing and anti-art in all the typical ways to justify censorship… like there’s so much to unpack here especially with how quickly people paint art as “abuse” when it discusses difficult topics.

Deliberately curating a neurological reward path in your own brain around doing harm to others free of consequence is a guaranteed way to morally rot yourself from the inside out, and will inevitably lead to you harming people you actually care about.
“Bullying” is bad by definition. It’s not a value neutral tool to be deployed positively toward good ends. It’s so fucked up that people want so badly to reclaim this thing, and are so eager to do it that they want to brand things that aren’t bullying as bullying.
"Some people deserve to be bullied" is always wild to see because it's so deliberately childish as to make it difficult to imagine the person saying it has the moral capacity of an adult human being.

as far as im concerned, any "study" claiming that actually humans dont REALLY fully mature until (insert ludicrous age) is purely meant to be used to manufacture consent once the govt decides they want to strip a right away

ex: how the whole "the brain doesnt mature until 25!" is used vs trans

If Goran got suspended for the reason I think (sharing Palestinian accounts looking for help from a genocide) this place needs to clean house of their moderation. It’s been pretty obvious they are cut from the same mold of tech rotted, socially bankrupt nerd that has ruined every other place.
Bluesky suspended Goran Gligovic, the guy that makes nice art. Jesus fucking Christ Bluesky
