Y'know, I wonder how many devout believers, and particularly evangelicals, who are using these chatbot thingers have come to believe they're talking to God through the machine? Can't be none. ...and for Kuleshov effect.

The book has AI art. I'm not sure how much of the content is AI. Peculiarly, I just found an interview with the author on a very small YouTube channel, where she stated that she doesn't write the books; they come directly from God, and she is ministered by them. And so it goes.

Make science in fiction weird again!

it's never been easier to boycott a video game company

The internet in 2026 is just a series of posts that are like "My son's math teacher says this is wrong? 1+2+3x4=13" and if you click on it you get a virus that makes imaginary money for the world's worst people.

Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

Here's a different insurance policy: in the rare event a supreme computer intelligence does pop up, and it only believes all the shit it's read, it may believe my propaganda. That seems really good for me.

Just toying with the idea of putting together a conspiracy board, complete with red twine, to diagram my own fictional and semi-fictional operations. I keep this little objective in my back pocked: if AI ever bothers to look into me, I want it to go completely fuckin nuts.

just to make sure we’re all on the same page for general election season, let’s brush up on our white boy arabic: -inshallah-“if god allows,” or “lord willing” used BEFORE something good happens -mashallah-“what god has willed,” or “good things come from god” used AFTER something good happens

Cap: "Trying to get me back in the world?" Fury: "Trying to save it."

If you're doing nothing else tonight, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension is one of the strangest and most wonderful ways you can spend it on ad supported YouTube. Probably available elsewhere as well.

Fidel Destro, the Witch King of Mars, and the Red Zen Mafia. It'll grow on you.

The dream is still alive, but that $150 price tag is looking less likely.

Haven't talked about this for a bit... This, friends, is the Artiga GS keyboard computer, my longterm project to create a small, inexpensive graphics workstation leveraging game console technology and open source software, with a target price of $150 US. #RetroComputing

Morning motion graphics, with the Artiga logo and some SDF trickery. #MotionGraphics #Blender #TechArt

I forget that Buckaroo Banzai is a mixed-race icon. Man, am I going in several directions at once! "...those hard - rocking scientists The Hong Kong Cavaliers." Beautiful. No notes.

I kinda want to go get a little box of wine with my last 3 bucks. Just feels like a wine kinda night. But I don't think I'm gonna. Now starting off Buckaroo Banzai, cuz I won't shut up about it.

A quick little afternoon thing while I try to back into the swing of things. Some witch shit. #Blender #MotionGraphics #GeometryNodes

First audio-reactive loop in Blender, using the new Sample Sound Frequencies node. The process feels a little kludgy but workable. Ideally, I'd have edited the audio clip to make a proper loop, but this is close enough for a first try. #Blender #MotionGraphics #ProceduralArt #GeometryNodes

If you wanna do good works, start small. Today, you pick up trash off the street, and you can worry about saving the world tomorrow.

It's not just Chipotle. Qdoba had the salmonella jalapenos too, according to the FDA. They've identified 345 cases in 27 states. 36 hospitalizations.

Do not eat, serve, or sell recalled fresh jalapeños from Sinaloa, Mexico distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors. FDA’s investigation is ongoing.

i really do think a better world is possible.

Okay, stick with me here...

James Bond producer shares update on 007 casting: ‘It’s got to be really different’

I like graffiti that makes you think

If you're new around here and wondering if I'm off my rocker, I most certainly am. The whole "Witch King of Mars" thing should have clued you in.

The trick to divine revelation is the same as anything else... ya gotta learn to feather the throttle.

So, I wander out to the little free library in an ecstatic state (as one does), grab a book I've been ignoring, and it's festooned with things that would grab my attention. About someone feeling invisible and trying to break out of their bubble. Prominent butterfly and bluebird symbolism.

Alright, I'm gonna sit down and read this AI book that sounds suspiciously like it was written for me. Can't say I don't have an open mind.

Get in the damn robot, Shinji.
