this cures what ails me every time

Alright

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

hey, uh, y'all *do* know that chatgpt *is* generative ai, too, right? it's not just art. gen-ai is not just stealing & scraping the internet for art, it is *also* stealing & scraping the internet for all types of written word.

you cannot be anti gen-ai and still use chatgpt. all gen-ai is harmful.

It's cuddling for me.

I miss that closeness.

Eh fuck it, I'll shoot my shot.

If you need someone to helm voiceover for your project, I pretty much do it all: casting actors, directing recording sessions, helping navigate agencies/unions/etc, you name it.

100% "damn this voice acting's awesome" rate 😊

March Caprice cut of the Kingdom Hearts II Retrospective is almost done. Hopefully will be wrapped today.

May stream a bit of KH2FM postgame this afternoon. Watch this space.

I suppose this article is timely considering The deal with Paramount and WB.

I'm not going to stop making art . And neither should you. Being black and queer and a mother the odds are already stacked against me..so I will carve it my own way.

There is always a tweet.

I got legitimately excited that there was a game about bass guitar for the Genesis.

Then I looked closer.

How dare you do this to me, Derek.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

All I'll say about the new Gorillaz album is that...well, I actually don't have anything to say about it.

I'm the rare sort who thinks their first album is their best and mourns that they don't want to be even in the same realm as it anymore.

They Thought It Was Burnout or Aging. It Was ADHD. A wave of midlife diagnoses in women is revealing the disorder’s hormonal link.

This The Cut article about adult women being diagnosed into adult life hits home so hard, even if I've known most of the points for awhile. That being said, it's definitely funny to realize I'm not very high-achieving as the women in the article

Game dev has become incredibly hard and risky, as has working in games media. Our medium brings delight to millions but the benefits get funnelled to a few. We need to stick together.

I’ve been working on sth to bring back hope. More news soon. In meantime, follow these folks.

Lion's right

4 panel comic first one has Biggmann and Eald'narche, with big text that says "Biggmann VS. Eald'narche Second panel has Biggmann holding his hands up, smiling through his mask. "What if you could change your mind, Eald'narch?" Third panel has Eald'narche looking down at Biggmann furiously, with the little guy sweating. Forth panel has Lion squatting, putting her hand on the top of Biggmann's head, but keeping a steady, glaring gaze on Eald'narche. Biggmann looks defeated/deflated. Lion: I think we're gonna have to kill this guy, Biggmann. Biggmann: Damn.

Pacifist VS Immortal

There is no reason to immediately invalidate an entire group's licenses other than to be cruel. There is no possible argument, even from their warped perspective, for it being in the interest of public good to not even give people advanced warning.

Just unapologetically evil.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

404media.co

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

of the two articles currently circulating about Sheri’s Ranch which feature Jupiter Jetson, this one is way more worth your time. there is a fascinating and important story in the unfolding workers’ rights movement in Nevada’s legal brothels that will resonate with anyone who’s been a contractor

Clearly the cold meds are making you delirious 😛

You sure about that?

Start going to thrift stores and pick up as much physical media as you can. You do not own digital copies of media. They can alter or remove them at any time.
