Halloweekend reminders! 1. If you're hitting any haunted houses with children, make sure to act scared so that they feel brave, like I did tonight at @nycparks.bsky.social Mad Labs Halloween Festival in Queens. 2. Make sure to vote! Early voting ends Sunday. Costumes allowed. Get out there.
drew links cuz I hate Sonic rn he doesn’t love me back and it pisses me off
I really need el-Sayed to win. Because then we can put this 'we need to be transphobic' to win bullshit to bed
There WILL BE less people like Patrick Stewart or Dolly Parton, given widening wealth inequality, loss of jobs in creative sector, austerity, privatisation of education (especially arts) & financial exclusion. Art of the near future will be less diverse & restricted to the privileged few.
Patrick Stewart's passing feels a whole hell of a lot like Dolly's. It's hard to imagine that singular talents found in people born in the working class or working poor will get fostered the ways theirs were. The things that nurtured those talents have been stripped for profit by assholes.
being anti-bully is the actual definition of traditional masculinity that everyone has been looking for
Holy based
do not funnel your grief over this death into trek and x-men merch, paramount & disney dont need your money. go to plays, give to charities, vote for candidates who will fund public art, and you will make it possible for people like patrick stewart to exist and keep existing. a rising tide lifts all
If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.
I think that we should all sit down today or tomorrow and decide what day we are going to call it a wrap for the year. I’m thinking somewhere around Nov. 18th or so because we have been through a lot.
check this shit out motherfucker (i spend billions of dollars on ai and sabotage my own search engine, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do)
Breaking news: Alphabet shares tumbled 13% on Thursday after the Google owner revealed that 'AI mode' searches were threatening profits at its core advertising business. ft.trib.al/g8Q9IPx
Hey, just as a reminder, when a particularly obnoxious troll from other places shows up here to do their obnoxious troll thing, you don't have to engage with them, just block their obnoxious troll ass and never see them again here, it's just that easy
I haven't seen this Abdul clip posted here yet, and goddamn this is the ENERGY
They have no idea how much faith in Art you have. That’s the only reason things feel backwards. Only time will prove it. Hang on. Keep creating.
Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai explained why the boom in AI-created games isn’t likely to create a lasting demand for such projects, comparing them to “low-quality goods” that could never compare to human-made titles like Shadow of the Colossus. https://bit.ly/4iLQ9LR
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
You asked AI for the cheapest flight. It dug through your emails, decided you could afford more, and suggested a ticket costing $100–$200 extra. Lindsay Owens explains ⬇️
“I’ve never even heard of this guy” is a meaningless statement if/when we’re trying to gauge someone’s consequentiality in 2026. There are no more “I Love Lucy” type experiences, where 73% of the country tunes in to watch the same thing. By design.
Yup. I keep saying it: the monoculture is dead. It’s BEEN dead. Most content most people consume is now personally or algorithmically customized at the individual level, because that allows for better targeting for the advertisers that pay for the internet.
There are individual cats with 3 billion views
So I spent the afternoon door knocking for Abdul El-Sayed and I gotta tell you it is going to be a fight. Please don’t think your vote doesn’t matter. There’s no world in which Mike Rogers is a friend to Jewish people but a lot of people still plan to vote for him. Please get out there and vote
if the entire internet isn't for me why is the computer in my house
Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in
"Super genes." Yeah, i, as a kid, would definitely love to have the build of Dr. Ivo Robotnik when I grow up. /s
Oh, are AI haters becoming "unhinged" now? Does it seem like we're everywhere no matter what you do? Are we ruining being online for you? Are you feeling like you can't do anything without us making your experience worse? Is it like we can't be escaped even though you want nothing to do with us?
how can you collaboratively govern and live with someone who insists you're stealing their children and poisoning them by simply existing in the same place?
holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.
Hot take: we can maintain society without worshiping work I actually believe we can find a way to hinge our society on real human needs We can aim higher than “me more work, me more stuff” Fragmented resource collection, like cutting off circulation to your limbs Disconnecting, rotting
