The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

I love when I can see the work in a piece of art. Practical effects in film, brush strokes on canvas, strange sounds in music, "impossible" visuals in games. It puts me in conversation with the artist. That's why - ethics aside - art created with AI is just so disappointing. There's no work to see.

I’m not trying to pick a fight with you specifically but that is talking around the point. Dishonest creative accounting to CYA is dishonest creative accounting to CYA.

Yeah man, this is *nothing like* Obama cooking the shit out of unemployment numbers by eliminating people who had been out of work for so long that they had stopped looking from the count. *That* is super good government data that you can and should believe.

Sadly the project I've been working on lost funding and I've been laid off, alongside ~half of my (very skilled) teammates of various disciplines.
So I'm on the hunt for new work!

If you know of any open game art positions, please send them my way! Attaching my linkedin here in case that helps.

#OTD in 1980, #Carter signed the #CWRIC Act, leading to truth: #JapaneseAmerican incarceration was driven by "race prejudice, war hysteria, and failed leadership" — not military necessity. May this precedent pave the way for justice for all harmed communities.

Corporations are actively trying to destroy art because art is unproductive and not lucrative

I missed out on the first Josh Freese era of NIN with, like, surgical precision. I saw them with Jerome Dillon for Fragility and phase 1 of With Teeth and then didn’t see them again until they had Ilan for Wave Goodbye. So I’m fucking stoked for this!!

getting to scream del's clint eastwood lyrics back at him is easily one of my 2025 highlights

This whole show was such a treat. Kid Koala was working his ASS off all night, doing two whole sets. Here's a face-melting clip of his earlier set with Lealani. I've always admired him for his progressive aspects but I didn't realize until last night that he can be an absolute party-rockin DJ too.

Still absolutely trippin that we got to see Deltron 3030 do "Clint Eastwood" as the encore for doing their whole debut record front-to-back last night. I didn't realize until now how intertwined the fates of the Deltron and Gorillaz S/T records were. What a thrill to hear these iconic verses live.

Two sets of casts of my upper and lower jaw made for a night guard sit on the counter of my bathroom sink.

Hey Bluesky, what offputting edgy art should I make with the dental casts that were created for my old night guard?

Went to Obon Odori over the weekend with @nicksuda.com 🍡

In honor of Mario Paint arriving on Switch, here is a very dumb movie I made with Mario Paint when I was a kid. You could only make/save one short little animation loop at a time, so to put a story together I had to make each shot and record them one by one on an old Betamax VCR.

Man, I forgot how hard this track slaps. I need to listen to this whole From Here to Eternity record at work tomorrow. I used to put this record on sooooo much when I was like 13-14. You can really hear the Kraftwerk.

Anybody in my peer group have any experience with 8th Wall/Niantic Studio? Support resources are slim, I could use an API rubber ducky buddy if you're out there...

#OTD in 1942, #ToshiroKobata and #HirotaIsomura, two #Issei men with health issues, were shot & killed by a guard at #Lordsburg Internment Camp, NM. The guard was acquitted despite evidence they weren't trying to escape.

New Yorker Magazine - Best Books of 2024. Although we didn’t quite make the actual “Best” list, Giant Robot 30 Years of Defining Asian American Pop Culture did make it to the “Also Recommended” category. @newyorker.com

Speaking of, this is an astonishingly well-made book, love & attention to detail coming out of every copy-packed page. A wonderful tribute to the ongoing legacy and cultural impact of Sawtelle's own Giant Robot. You owe it to yourself to pick up this book. Great value srsly!! tinyurl.com/mr3tstaw

The front cover of a photozine titled "THIS IS WEST LA" created by the Teen Councils of West Los Angeles & Pacific Palisades. The photo shows a group of young people striding down Sawtelle Boulevard in Sawtelle Japantown past Yamaguchi Nursery.

The kids are alright. I enjoyed flipping thru this photozine created by the WLA/Palisades Teen Councils when I went to the WLA library to hear Eric Nakamura @giantrobot.bsky.social talk about the new book on GR a couple weekends ago. Keep DIY alive, y'all.
