I get why techbros and their ilk like gen-AI: artists and writers to them are just an obstacle to be bypassed. But I'll never get an author/artist/musician who uses it. "I want to be a writer." No you don't. You fetishize ideas but hate the work. You don't respect the craft or its practitioners.
Inject this thread into the vein. All this goes so far beyond just creatives. Outsourcing our brains; giving up on exercising our mental, emotional, creative, empathetic, etc. muscles across societal roles will result in a dumber, colder, more careless, easily bored world at the worst possible time.

"The technology is just gonna get better and better and better and better. And it's gonna get easier and easier, and more and more convenient, and more and more pleasurable, to be alone with images on a screen, given to us by people who do not love us but want our money." -David Foster Wallace

S.G. Goodman returned to Newport Folk Festival with songs from her great new album ‘Planting By The Signs’ and a countrified cover of Butthole Surfers’ ‘96 alt-rock hit “Pepper.” “I appreciate y’all being here,” said said the Kentucky indie musician. “Hope you like the ‘90s.”

I was beyond obsessed The Gate to the Mind's Eye as a teen in the 90s. Completely wore my VHS copy out. Glad to find the masterpiece on YT. Directed by Michael Boydstun, and @thomasdolby.bsky.social crushed the soundtrack. Was so far ahead of its time. youtu.be/gV9IMGAJ-Eo

Theatre kids really are the best.
School play gets canceled for "inappropriate content".
In response students write [REDACTED], their own anti-censorship play skewering the school district, sells out performances, and ultimately takes gold at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival.

This is just so good and also so, so damned sad.
Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...
Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government
Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

Enjoying some live Bowie late tonight. Glasto has incredible sound, & he was on despite laryngitis. When cancer took him from us in January 2016, feels like the world bumped off its axis and things haven’t ever been the same since. Everything got and stayed so dark. music.apple.com/us/album/gla...
