this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Hearing a lot of people cheering in the streets, and I'm so surprised that they heard I found my wedding venue today.

Republicans when you say you don't want a gestapo kidnapping force or ships of unidentified people blown out of the water: "Sounds like you have Trump Derangement Syndrome! 🤣"

Republicans about a mayoral candidate: "If he gets elected I will Yukio Mishima myself."

I just know if I add a reference to this in my art heist script I'm gonna get coverage notes of "be more realistic, please."

Announcer: "And our next challenger is... THE CUSTODIAN!"

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

Matthew Lillard from the "Scream" screening at Hollywood Forever:

“Fuck ICE! In this time, in this city, we need to lead with love. Do not forget that shit in this moment. Not to be political, but to be political as shit. Second of all: vote Prop 50. And if you don’t like that, I’m so not sorry!”

More importantly, the syringes are full of vaccines this year.

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn." was liberal propaganda.

Real talk but if your response to AI enshittification is some variation of “I’ll just focus on my backlog” then you don’t care about art.

Teachers to teens or children who take any sort of joy or make it a point to belittle their students, even the problem ones, are just grown-up bullies.

Ray Harryhausen needed the work.
