Xanthippe

A 2 panel sketch disgram of a 1 meter tall pod. in the second panel, an oval section pops off and a demonic little face with short tentacles flies out, crudely drawn.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

Sir, yes sir. Budget-Chicken-2425. He’s the antifa number 2. Real mastermind

I personally feel like I’ve successfully purchased a brief moment of happiness every time I get a drink and a slice of cake from the local coffee place. The trick is sitting down, actually tasting it, and telling the barista they did a good job.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

For 18 months, I had to keep the secret that I didn't just voice The Flying Dutchman in the SpongeBob movie, but I also played him in live-action sequences. The hours it took flew by thanks to superb makeup artists Gage Munster & Marcel Banks who were both so kind AND hilarious. 🤣 Thanks fellas! 🙏

I mean, I sort of see her point, if I don’t like alcohol and explicit lyrics I can simply not go to the club, and if I don’t want to have strangers generate revenge porn of me on twitter I can just … oh. Oh no.

Hold on guys I’m starting to think this might not be such a great comparison after all

you can claim "the technology itself is neutral" all you want but the combination of AI censor/label tech on this website with the disgusting stories like stella's below demonstrate that this tech has a very specific purpose: control over women's bodies

in my experience so far i'd basically say everyone is the same age as me with the exception of those who are either older or younger

this week's post is something i've been working on for a long time, and is a little guide to living the good life. Or it's early aughts punk nostalgia. Or it's my response to tradwife culture.

I am of the opinion if we are bringing back late 19th century and early 20th century economics they should put drugs back in our sodas

I’ve been doing a rewatch over the past few weeks, the idea that the American government is competent at anything is by far the most out there idea presented in that whole show

Black and white photograph of a woman standing pressed against the edge of a large rectangular mirror she has her left hand on her hip with her elbow pointed out and the mirror doubles the left side of her body so we see her in a symmetrical pose with a hand on each hip except her right arm is actually up on top of the mirror her elbow across the top so it looks like she has three arms Karel Fonteyne is the name of the photographer if that's not clear
