#hauntalong crew: keep your eyes as peeled as the person in the golden mask.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

YouTube video by CharactersWelcome The AI Video Everyone Is Talking About

"AI video is very for society. I make rich people richer and poor people go insane!"

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

"it might be conscious but unable to express it! You can't know."
O-kay... That sounds like you are trying to argue for existence of a soul. Why have you never argued this for animals or other objects that didn't have multibillion dollar marketing campaigns?

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

What we’re seeing these days isn’t new, it’s just sometimes seems new because now it’s being encouraged and condoned again.

Just back from visiting my parents. Dad’s recovery continues slow but steady, and @iamatrex.com and I convinced my fraidy-cat mom to watch some Roger Corman movies this October. Hearing my mom say “You said BUCKET OF BLOOD, right? I should watch BUCKET OF BLOOD?” was a surreal experience.

I have! I’d tell you it’s better than the movie but you’d never believe me.

You know how I know @iamatrex.com is a good writer? This #hauntalong write-up almost made me want to watch JASON X again.

(Almost. I'm not *that* much of a glutton for punishment.)

Title screen for the film CUCKOO featuring the word "cuckoo" on a dark background.

Welcome back to the #hauntalong where every year, a group of RPG game designers, artists, and horror film weirdos spend the month of October sharing their recommendations!

Today we'll be talking about CUCKOO, the changeling myth and how weird it is to hear anything at all.

Good morning, everyone. If you believe that love has no borders, nationalities, or genders, here's a song.

Weeeeeee're baaaack.

#hauntalong has a group of ttrpg wrting/arting/playing friends chatting about their favorite horror movies.

This year, we've got a full month of recos, and we'll truly push Bluesky's threading feature well beyond the black rainbow.

Come haunt along with us.

To open this year’s #hauntalong, I’ll invite your eyeballs to The Viewing – episode 8 of Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, directed by the color-synth-and-vibe monster that is Panos Cosmatos (Mandy, Beyond the Black Rainbow).

Watch it.

New Screams to Stream for Halloweam 2025 If you’re reading this in October, there's a better than average chance that you might be looking for something spooky to watch this month, so I'm here to help you out with suggestions of good movies ...

Good morning, everyone. If you want to have a good cry this morning, here's a song.

September 30th/October 1st

Bruce McAllister is a ghoul. "I don't like the tone your question; your parents should have beaten this behaviour out of you."

The UCP steer the future of children's services and one of them just came out as pro-child-abuse.

At tonight’s “consultation”…

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…

It’s…

Telling.

Meme showing a worker labelled "academic staff" digging a hole in the ground while 10 others look labelled with management titles such as "Director of Human Resources" look on. The caption underneath reads "The only way we can cut costs is to reduce the number of academic staff..."

A meme for the modern university...
