We need a new internet for humans

it is baffling to me that for 15-20 years we have known that authenticity sells and now everyone including small video creators are farming out their production process to the generic-ass-robot-output production machine just absolutely self defeating nonsense behavior

Just imagining the level of sociopathy required to read LOTR and then name your horrible company or horrible product after something you saw in it. Even a child could understand how wrong that is.

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

That thing where you back a kickstarter and a year later it suddenly arrives with a pile of stretch goals you had no idea about. This pile's rather good though. Cat patch! @heikala.bsky.social

#BookWormSat 'Cynghanedd' is a unique system of poetic stress and sound-arrangement that originated in Welsh-language poetry around a thousand years ago. Despite it's ancient origins, it's still often used in contemporary Welsh poetry today. 1/4

King of Dragon Pass and Six Ages are terribly underrated. A must-play if you are interested in games that blend narrative and systems. I'm super excited about the upcoming game from these devs.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.
