People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.
Kane: Absolutely not.
For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.
When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wk7ktvs3sld47pgfndy43gyp/bafkreid3oivudz5p3kmcuu6ss3gr2tmy73r3uqe3ljh6h5rxbeax2dcme4)

One of the chief virtues of the book is that it’s nearly the only remaining form of media that isn’t constantly being interrupted by ads. Between the covers is the last place on earth where no one is trying to sell you shit, a place where you can still be a human being rather than a mark.
Congrats to Venezuela for winning the WBC! and for sparing us Team USA’s joyless flag-humping.
I've never seen a 180° in Vibes so severe as the 2026 WBC. We all went from "everyone loves the WBC, the fun baseball tournament full of espresso and dancing" to "Team Guys Who Salute Cop Cars On The Highway are on a path to beat a country they illegally invaded and dedicate the gold to Toby Keith"
for @trailsmag.net I wrote about what happens when the work of Forest Service rangers becomes the work of volunteers on public lands. thanks to @sidehilling.bsky.social for the PHOTOS and @ryan.trailsmag.net for shepherding this one into print 🌄
I’m fascinated by the fact that ChatGPT can dive into our website to figure out we “emphasise human‑powered, overnight trips in North America (not RVs or day hikes)” but somehow never realize we’re a print magazine and your “SEO-optimized article” is not helpful. And that they don't use spell check.
The Toronto Blue Jays could win the World Series…on Friday. In disbelief.
Goodnight to everyone except those who are only now deciding the Blue Jays are a good team.
I never want to hear about (or watch, frankly) “Guardsball” ever again.
This is the kind of statue you see an “allied coalition” pulling over with a tank.

This is dope. Way to go Chris and team.
Eva Holland@evaholland.bsky.social · 11mo agoSomething good: a new, nonprofit newsroom run by some wonderful, experienced folks (core crew from Outside mag's glory days) dedicated to journalism about American public lands! Looks like the plan is to collaborate a fair bit with other outlets.
Right wingers are really not prepared for an era where their own normalization of gun culture and gun violence might be used against them and not just the people they hate
Local government employee: Answer this question for me, ChatGPT. ChatGPT: OK! Local government employee: But make sure your answer is accurate! ChatGPT: Oh, in that case…! www.knkx.org/government/2...
What’s he scared of? How about getting strange calls at dinner time. You’re a telemarketer, not a journalist. People change their numbers to stop that all the time.
On with Kara Swisher@onwithkaraswisher.bsky.social · last yr.What call could be so threatening to President Joe Biden that it made his team change his number?

In the future, the smartest people will be unable to read, ACKCHYUALLY.
Got a story pitch today in which the (supposed) writer accidentally pasted his entire conversation with ChatGPT—about how to pitch me!!!—into the bottom of his email. Including the part where he let GPT write (at least) pieces of his pitch email. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 I do not recommend this strategy.
They know these people are crazy. They know they’ll believe anything they tell them. The whole conservative movement is built on convincing the most gullible people of things anyone with any amount of critical thinking (including our leaders) would reject. And they’re giddy when it works.
