When you lived through 15 years of 'Avacado toast' discourse only to see it repackaged to slander the next generation

I owe my younger self an apology when I played Bioshock Infinite, got to the Wounded Knee Memorial section, and said "I mean, I get that this is a fascist version of 1900s America, but this is a bit much"

A desaturated blue (just glancing at green from across the street), black, and yellow-orange poster. It features Miles Caton in the middle playing his guitar, shadowed faces of Michael B. Jordan on either side of him (with the Stack character sporting the orange echoed elsewhere for his gold tooth). At the bottom, in heavy shadows, is the vampire band, and behind them, silhouettes lit by flame, are line-dancing figures with glowing eyes. Their shape suggests that a few of them are characters from the movie: Mary, Pearline, Cornbread, and Bo Chow. There are credits, an R rating, and a Warner Brother's logo at the bottom and above the film's title (done in an old timey flashy saloon font that might befit a juke joint) is the text "A film by Ryan Coogler."

Worked up a poster for Sinners - that cross section of horror movies, period pieces, and roots music checks an awful lot of my boxes, and heavens but it was beautifully made.

Over the last few months I've become fascinated with Abundance, the new nominally liberal ideology pushed by liberal stalwarts like Ezra Klein. But if you peak behind the curtain and look at the funding you discovering something horrifying: Peter Theil, the Koch

This sounds like a Drill tweet and I dont't know if it's sadder or funnier that it really happened.

AI art does not exist. It is an oxymoron.

Sometimes an idea so perfect comes along that you get mad at reality that it doesn't yet exist.

Paperback of The Damned King 🤴🏼 n a blue background with the text “You are not ready. August 19.”

Seeing a few people surprised and/or irritated that The Damned King isn’t the final book in a trilogy, so please help me spread the word: THE EIDYN SAGA IS A FOUR-BOOK SERIES. It has been ever since I signed with Orbit in 2021. I’m writing book 4 right now. It’s coming!

Interview with the Vampire. I was 13 and not ready for that level of homo-eroticism and existentialism

Okay, yes, but put Tony Gilroy as showrunner and I'd watch the fuck out of it.

Already had one, mate. It didn't turn out so good.

Writers should never modify their own prose as a reaction to what stupid fucking generative AI is doing -- that shit stole from us, and it stole poorly, incompletely, and has none of our magic and zero of our humanity, our experience, our wonder and fear, and it never ever will. Fuck AI. You do you.

Damn man, you giving everyone the vapors!

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

We’re Light-Years Away from True Artificial Intelligence, Says Murderbot Author Martha Wells Today’s large language models are hardly related to the kinds of machine intelligence we see in science fiction, according to Martha Wells, author of the Murderbot Diaries series

This truth from Martha Wells should be slathered across Apple TV's home screen:

"Murderbot is a machine intelligence, and ChatGPT is not. It’s called artificial intelligence as a marketing tool, but it’s not actually artificial intelligence. A large language model is not a machine intelligence."

Are they going to start paying taxes??

Alt text: A screenshot of an article excerpt reporting on Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s Evin prison, which killed 79 people and destroyed parts of the facility. The text states that about 100 transgender inmates are missing and presumed dead after their section of the prison was flattened. Reza Shafakhah, a human rights lawyer, says the Iranian government often treats being transgender as a crime. It also mentions the death of the prison’s chief prosecutor, Ali Ghanaatkar, and one of his deputies.

Israel bombed an Evin, an Iranian prison that housed dissidents and political prisoners. They ended up destroying the trans wing and murdering over 100 trans people incarcerated there, many for simply being queer in Iran.

This is unspeakable evil.

Very striking how every right-wing conspiracy freakout was just a prophecy of what they planned on eventually doing - whether it was Jade Helm or FEMA camps, the moment they had the opportunity to make these imaginary monstrosities they came up with come to life, they did

I dreamed JKR just started eating trans kids, just grabbing them and devouring them whole, and when people complained, she threatened to sue them.

I am worried I saw the future.
