Realize there might be other things on sale today...but I'd really appreciate it if you considered buying a physical print of your favorite piece of painfully detailed pixel art instead 😅🙏

That will show Jeff Bezos and the rest!

An art piece by Goran Gligovic of a sword resting against a battered tree in front of a rocky dungeon entrance amidst a snowy field. The text says UNBAN GORAN GLIGOVIC.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.

Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

Late Afternoon Light ~ Cyril Cox, 1958

This is not merely a matter of improving the chatbots' programming so that they more believably imitate humans, or provide more responsible outputs when presented with poisoned cognition in their users. There is a simple and tragic category error at the core of the Al chatbot push-at the core of so incredibly much of 21st-century American life, really-that only gets more alarming and more obviously deadly to all of us the further the psychotic tech industry projects it out among us. It is the idea that things like connection, friendship, intimacy, and care are essentially sensory arrangements, things an individual feels, and therefore things that can be reproduced by anything that provides something like the right

sensations. This misapprehension holds that a person who is socially isolated is merely experiencing a set of sensations called "social isolation," and so also holds that this can be resolved by interacting with a mindless computer program that produces in the isolated person the impression that they are connecting to another being. This is deeply poisonous. More to the point, it is also just wrong! Incorrect! The world outside of you is not merely an image projected onto your sensory organs. The people in it are not mere instruments that you use to produce the sensory arrangements you desire. They are also real, and what you and they

need from each other, I am sorry to say, is not the mere feeling of being understood and valued and cared for, but to actually be understood and valued and cared for. Not only or even primarily because of how that feels, but because the fact of it backstops your life, and can become a pattern of supportive action when somebody needs it. This is because you, human that you are, are a social being, a part of humanity and incoherent divided from it. This is why in isolation people can go insane or, not to put too fine a point on it, kill themselves. This is where that category error tips over into an insidious lie. People are complicated, and not always predictable; they may not like you or find you interesting; they might hurt your feelings. Moreover our horrible

21st-century society works at all times to produce utterly crazymaking isolation in each person, creating frictionless alternatives to human contact and then filling the margin created with work until those alternatives are not alternatives anymore, but simply all you have time for. But there is nothing for it: You simply have to go out among people and connect yourself to them and identify with them, or your life will be an abomination, in the way that so many people's lives now are abominable.

I'm gonna read the whole thing, but this opening salvo is first rate

Trying a post. Not sure how much I’ll use this but figured I’d get it set up. Hello friends

The winner of the 2025 Orwell "1984 was a warning, not an instruction manual" Prize is JG Ballard.

Again.

Mixed traditional/digital painting of a maschinen krieger model I have using ref I took on a trip to Newport!

The salt water air weathers your metal shell. You wish you were breathing it in rather than a stale, filtered version of it. Wish you could see the sky in all its brilliant nuance rather than through pared down eyes made for killing.

A rough, experimental digital piece in central composition. It features Toa Vakama Hordika emerging from a green cocoon, looking like a panicked vicious animal. His muzzle is open in a scream and his clawed hand is scratching at the cocoon. There are five other cocoons seen in the background. The palette of the piece is an unsettling combination of red, black, grey and sickly yellowish-green, with dashes of dark blue.

My piece TOXIC REBIRTH for the #810NICLEDAY Hordika zine, featuring Vakama emerging from the Visorak web!

This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination.

The film is called I Am Frankelda, and we've taken a deep look into how it came to be: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-a...
