Writing fiction in any genre should be a purely human exercise. If you use AI to generate *any* dialog, story ideas, character shapes, *anything* creative, you're betraying the very concept of artistic expression. This is a bright flashing red line for me. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...
‘Everyone Is Doing It’: The Truth About AI in Hollywood

I’d like to thank the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area for apparently working together to ensure I never see The Odyssey in IMAX. I applaud the teamwork but guys the joke is getting old.

If I won the lottery I would hire an interior designer and just say “Columbo murderer” while waving my hand around my home office.
Had Bari Weiss been hired by CBS-Paramount to secretly run a "Producers" scam and destroy all of "60 Minutes"'s value as quickly as possible it's difficult to imagine what should would've done differently.
MetaGlasses: yes, people will assume you are a pervert, but you'll be a pervert *who knows what time sunset is*, and you can't put a price on that
#SDCC comic con: our daughter left her 3D printed black dragon in the restroom near E/Starbucks. She printed it herself and is devastated. We checked the restroom and lost and found which means someone picked it up. If you bring it to 5552 I will give you a signed comic as reward
It's always rad when there's another instance of Weird Al turning out to be an even better person than we thought he was, which was already a high bar.
Steven Santos@stevensantos.bsky.social · 2w agoGuess who had the integrity not to accept $1 million to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival last year?
And for the record, that theme song was a banger!

Saturday, July 18th is the Los Angeles premiere of the horror film I've been working on for almost 3 years. After a long time of living and working in LA, it's amazing to finally see this film on the big screen in weird ol' Hollywood. To celebrate, here's the official trailer.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
counterpoint: the dead should make it harder for me to speak ill of them
Right now we’re hosting a fundraiser to help cover the cost of putting on the festival — and the fundraiser is an all-trans reading of the twilight script starring Alex Song-Xia as Edward. Donate $20 to watch! watch.thirdbest.tv/products/i-k...
My feeling about this is fuck it, I'm going to use them when I want to, and if someone accuses me of using "AI" because of it, then I will tell them to go fuck themselves, and that, they can be assured, is not "AI" generated
Jaya Saxena@jayasaxena.com · 4w agoI hate how the constructions now associated with AI "writing," which of course are stolen from actual writing, are now making me edit myself around them. Sometimes I want to say "not X but Y"!!!
Competitive high school sports are not about gladiatorial domination; they exist to teach kids teamwork, comradery, promote exercise, and give them a sense of accomplishment. I can think of no better way to accomplish those goals than to compete alongside our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings.
I hate to ask this but my health insurance switched suppliers for my monthly medical supples again. This is going to leave me without supplies for a month or so, while everything gets reapproved. If you have anything to spare would mean a lot if not sharing is also be helpful!
Clerk: Occupation? Comicus: Stand-up philosopher. Clerk: What? Comicus: Stand-up philosopher. I coalesce the vapors of human experience into a viable and meaningful comprehension. Clerk: Oh, a bullshit artist. Happy 100th birthday to Mel Brooks, the GOAT.
If you don’t like comic book/superhero movies, fine, they’re not to your taste, no worries. But if you proudly present your disdain as a sign of virtue, an indication of what refined cinematic taste you have, well, then you annoy the fuck out of me.
