People like to talk up how complicated and twisty the ending of American Psycho is, but the message is very simple and clear: real estate agents will gladly help you cover up a murder.

They're gonna kill me for sure

sometimes i feel like people understand that the war on drugs is a failure across every front (# of drugs in country, # of drug users, utility of spending, millions dead, millions incarcerated, etc), but don't internalize that it necessitates entirely rethinking societal relationship to substances.

i should be allowed to go to the store and get pharmaceutical-grade stimulants if i want to! the controlled substances act being so disconnected pharmacologically from what is scheduled based on an arbitrary rating of "abuse potential" is a sham when alcohol and nicotine aren't scheduled. total bs.

Nick Park spent the '80s making A Grand Day Out mostly alone. It was a school project that got out of hand -- he wanted to quit many times. But Park stuck with it and fulfilled his dream of bringing a cinematic feel to stop motion. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/wallace-an...

We asked the artist what the image means and they idk

got the ratlines up. i went up and down them maybe a dozen times so they're plenty sturdy since they held up my 220+lb ass without any problems. this thing wont even notice the 45 pound children going up and down it most of the time

everyone has opinions about fandoms and a lot of people have had bad experiences with some fandoms and will talk at length about those experiences. but let me be 100% with you when I say that every single encounter I've had with the Pikmin fandom and the Splatoon fandom were completely pleasant

transcribing a script and notes into a screenplay is a nightmare but what else could I do? not have a screenplay?? Fuck no

The original Google search algorithm that was wizard magic was machine learning. Same with videogame enemies learning flocking techniques and figuring out how to beat you based on your tendencies. LLM stans fucked this up just let the scam artists define what AI is now because they are dumb.

I can’t emphasize this enough — “AI” wasn’t born corrupt and toxic. For ~75 years, it was mathematicians and scientists doing interesting, thoughtful work and trying to solve problems, making only the usual human mistakes. What “AI” did to machine learning is as tragic as what it did to artists.

one of the last asks i got on cohost. i miss it every day

anyway here was my fit at the renn faire. spruced up the pirate outfit with a few edits and accoutrements. i made about 7-8 little leather coin purses, and put a few of the metal play coins in them: every time i saw a kid dressed as a pirate, i'd run over and give them "the loot they left behind"

Been teaching myself Unreal and built this moody office scene while learning the basics of lighting, VFX, camera control, animation, cinematics, and blueprints. Wanted to make it feel convincingly cluttered and lived-in, which involved placing 600+ props by hand. Sound up for maximum atmosphere.

i believe an absolutely integral part of my grief journey will involve making some zines. not necessarily any zines about the grief, just the act of making things and sharing them
