We need to normalize referring to "artificial intelligence" as "Ai" NOT "AI". I don't want to confuse that tech crap with "Weird Al" Yankovic .

Getting overwhelmed by all the chaos? I just released a calming, spaced out album (featuring theremin). Use it to contemplate our place in the universe, or just get a moment (or about 44min) of peace. Nebulae | Eban Schletter share.google/ReqyqPjmbVuj...

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it." It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵
We're doing another screening of Asteria this Monday! This will be a benefit for the Stray Theater! There will be merch: rare OOP CDS and a book hot off the presses! 100% of proceeds will go to the theater! Come see an indie micro budget musical extravaganza made with ABSOLUTELY NO FREAKIN' AI!

Hello Friends. I am ecstatic to announce that I have reacquired the entire Spontaneanation catalogue and effective immediately you can find every episode wherever you get your podcasts. Don’t get drunk and fight each other.
I’m thrilled to make an appearance in the latest episode of “SpongeBob SquarePants” (I play I.M. Poster, the pirate who sings the slightly altered theme song in “Bizarro Bottom”)!

According to their Instagram, The Yard Theater (on Melrose) will be closing at the end of July. So this run of my little DIY feature film will be one of the last things there. Come on down to support indie film and indie theater.
I dont get out much, but I went to Varietopia tonight. Man, @pftompkins.bsky.social is a breath of fresh air in this ever stressful world. And @mrjordankatz.bsky.social & the band are sooo freakin' great!
Just to be clear. There is no way that starving people to death is an act of "self defence".
Here's a clip from Asteria- featuring the voice of @pftompkins.bsky.social - see it Friday May 9th, 7pm at The Yard Theater, on Melrose in Los Angeles. #DIYfilm
Hey!! Los Angeles, come on down! Trailer in the comments.
I was lucky enough to chat with @pftompkins.bsky.social for @isthmusmadison.bsky.social about Varietopia! PFT was so generous with his time, anecdotes, and interest in me as a fellow improviser. Truly honored to get to write about one of the best to ever do it: isthmus.com/arts/stage/p...

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.
In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of @thrillingadv.bsky.social and in tribute to the great Andy Paley, I've posted this...
TikTok's algorithm makes it a really valuable resource for connecting with communities you haven't even figured out you want to connect with yet. It can be life-changing, and people dismissing it as a dancing-teenager app are showing their ignorance.
TikTok had a massive community of #ActuallyAustistic people, likely the largest autistic community in the world ever. It included all ages and speakers and non-speakers. It also had a large chronically ill community. The potential loss of community for many otherwise isolated folks is significant.
Just in case you missed the previous post about it, if you were planning on going to the screening of my movie tonight it has been CANCELLED. We will reschedule and your tickets will still be good for the new date and refunded if you can't make it. Stay safe.
