Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Myers knows some writers use AI for “story development or concept development or research, but what we say at DePaul is, once you type ‘fade in,’ that’s it. That’s our screenwriting department’s policy. But if you want to use it for some of these pre-writing processes, that’s OK.” Why is it OK? “Because they’re going to use it. It’s like the atom bomb.” Is that a capitulation? “I think so,” Myers said. “But I find that most of my students don’t use it, and I’ll tell you why. In the very first class, I say: The one thing you have that nobody else has is your distinct life experience. And what we are going to do as teachers is help you develop that into a creative voice. And if you’re using AI instead, you’re not going to benefit from that and you’re wasting your time trying to become a screenwriter. The thing (Hollywood) looks for is a distinctive, unique personality that comes out on the page through things like your choice of characters and stories, scene description, dialogue — all of that is fundamentally inside you. We can help you develop that. AI is going to diminish that. “And when I make that big, preachy statement, I think they take it to heart. It speaks to them personally: ‘Oh, I have this unique thing and hopefully that will set me apart from other writers.’”

Scott Myers' credits include the 1989 Jim Belushi comedy “K-9” and the 1996 wilderness movie “Alaska.” He is a screenwriting professor at DePaul University and I thought this was interesting too about his students understanding that using AI to write is counterproductive and a waste of an education

VILE: Exhumed is a game about searching through an old computer, uncovering dark secrets, and experiencing the horrors of parasocial obsession and misogyny. There are references to sexual assault and violence against women, as well as depictions of gore – this was never a secret. This was the point. It was intended to be released for sale on July 22, 2025 on Steam – the largest video game storefront in the world. Instead, it was removed from Steam and banned for sale. VILE: Exhumed was not banned for its use of gore, or its intense themes – themes that are sensitive but many players related to – it was wrongfully banned for “sexual content with depictions of real people.” The game covers topics of assault, abuse, and entitlement, and uses a combination of FMV and practical effects to create images as horrifying as the themes. This was never a secret. There are a lot of intense visuals in VILE: Exhumed, but there is no uncensored nudity, no depictions of sex acts, and no pornography whatsoever – which is one of the justifications bad actors are using right now to censor games. What this actually results in is taking power and storytelling away from women, other marginalized artists, and ultimately, from everyone. This censorship of my work is a direct attack on creative expression and artistic freedom, and it will not stop with false accusations of sexual content. They will come for anything that speaks more loudly than they do. By giving the game away, for free, to whoever wants to play it, I am doing the same thing I set out to do when I started working on VILE: Exhumed, a game about sexual assault, male entitlement, and misogyny. Taking back my agency. No one is allowed to dictate what kind of horror is acceptable, or what stories are allowed to be told. VILE: Exhumed is now available to download for free as shareware under a CC BY-NC-ND license through a few different methods on this page. This felt like the best option to make the game available to …

VILE: Exhumed, which was banned very shortly before its scheduled Steam release, has been released for free online, including on Github and the Internet Archive. Cara's statement, per the IA page:

six break beat songs, by cabbage drop 6 track album

finally got "six break beat songs" together! each song was part of a really cool event and I got links and info in the song info liner notes #breakbeat #breaks #digifu #digitalfusion #dnb #drumandbass #drumnbass #music #musicsky #y2k

Painting with 12 mini pics: On every pic is a bartender in black tuxedo, white button-down and bow tie who is mixing the perfect Martini. On every picture is the next step of mixing.

"The Making of the Perfect Martini" by Guy Buffet (2000).

hey. have you been sitting out on calling payment processors? i get it. phone calls are annoying and difficult for a lot of people. maybe you’ve been putting it off until now. well, i have good news: now is actually a PERFECT time for you to START calling. you are Wave 2!

giving another listen thru six songs which may flow as a kinda break beat mini album! already made the cover art. kinda wanna write a bit about them in the bandcamp liner notes? working title "six break beat songs" bc it's six break beat songs. will probs release the mini album within a week

"biological sex" is going to die as a natural given in the 21st century or human societies are going to die defending it. with the fascist ultranationalism resting upon a massive biopolitical reassertion, this is genuinely what the stakes feel like

looking at the Bolsonaro news like Lord, I Have Seen What You've Done For Others, And

this is the biggest blind spot of the technoaristocratic class - a heavily cognitive career w a focus on automating human work subconsciously informs them to see their own emotional, spiritual dissatisfaction as a problem to be isolated and modularly addressed. they fail to see that it is In The Mix

the kids are buying portable CD players off tiktok shop and talking about how to mod old Zunes with open source software - they're catching up to where this is headed

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

I'd like to see the payment processors check into the Australian "Charity" Collective Shout, whose financial filings are fishy. They took in over 400k in donations last year, and spent over 300k of it - 30% for employees and 60% "other expenses." No charitable expenditures. At all. Is that legal?

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 cannot describe how fucking happy it makes me seeing journalists just pointing out that they're lying. Once again, if you're calling, bringing up these articles as why you're calling is a VERY good idea.

Why are they lying? Why are they refusing to process legal transactions?

this is cool!! big shoutout to @laylavish.bsky.social for basically changing the fate of the world with her blocklist. DDG should credit the person actually responsible instead of the plugin(???)

I can't emphasize enough how much your direct action, calling these processors every day, has forced these statements and the news coverage to happen. It's so important that we keep going. We have been shown they can bleed so be like sharks. Keep up the pressure and more things will start cracking.

I found her gofundme! She's already raised 41.5k of her 45k goal for gas, vehicle maintenance, phone/internet costs (for posting the videos), food and supply drives for the community, and emergency funds in case she gets into legal trouble:
