Had to trim it down to fit on Bluesky but I'm starting the year off with my brand new Interactive reel!

Huge thanks to @reecebridger.bsky.social for writing the script, @themorganberry.bsky.social for directing and @pay0.bsky.social for audio mixing. You are all rockstars!

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Absolutely do not touch a hair on Dolly's head, universe.

Yashar Ali 🐘 @yasharali.bsky.social · 1d

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

So I'm getting close to 40 now and do I just have to keep living through different versions of this same recklessness forever?

This kind of shit has happened so many times in my life and it ends the same way every time: millions of people lose jobs, homes, and all their life savings.

"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."

America is now one big bet on AI

It’s seen as the magic fix for every threat to the US economy

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

SCAM WATCH!

Got another report of something like this. If anyone reaches out to you using my name to talk about some life altering art exhibit in Japan, just want you to know that it is not me. Block this email address.

A scam using the address “danaaterrace@gmail.com”.

"Wow people are so bigoted toward AI"

They literally cannot be. It's not a person.

"Artificial intelligence" is a misnomer, LLMs do not have feelings and are literally fundamentally incapable of thought.

I really wish we didn't have to keep repeating this.

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

I've loved seeing my timeline blow up with so many of my friends and peers announcing that they got to be in Digimon Story TimeStranger. Seeing you all be a part of my favorite franchise is exactly the moral boost I need. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew! Looking forward to playing it!

Update.

Mr.Stake passed away this morning. I was able to be there in his final moments after receiving the call.
He is and will always be loved and I pray he knew how much.

Thank you all for any assistance you're able to provide.

I hate having to resort to this but Mr.Stake is in a real bad way and his vet bills piled up way faster than I ever imagined.

Anything would be appreciated even just a share if you're understandably strapped. ❤️

One of my favorite clips that I worked on from Contact High. Really happy that I was able to flashback to see Chloe in her college days and how she settled one of the oldest arguments on the internet. To see the full pilot click on the link in the replied comment.

“I have seen movies, short films, completely created by artificial intelligence,” Herzog said. “Story and acting and everything, they look completely dead. There are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.”

Get their ass, Werner.
