New follow-up: Many people helped Jeffrey Epstein whitewash his reputation. Reputation management firms billed for thousands of dollars; SEO consultants jumped in; and when called upon, scientists did him favors that helped his Google presence.

Bad Bunny's performance was very Puerto Rican and also very, very, VERY East Coast. As Kendrick's performance was both Black and West Coast. These people are mad at distinctly American performances because they don't like the color of the box the gift came in.
The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

The cooperation game, the murder game, and acting in good faith with people you know are acting in bad faith.

This loser admits she doesn't use her real name when she uses AI to write books and doesn't reveal they're AI. Which means she knows it's wrong and she knows it's shameful and does it anyway.

The New York Times thinks that's neat though! Unsurprising that this toilet paper rag aligns with hacks
“If I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who’s going to win the race?” God this is bleak

Had a great chat with Julian Glander about his new feature Boys Go to Jupiter, what shape he thinks America’s current political climate would be, and why open source programs like Blender are doing infinitely more to “democratize” art than generative AI

PSA: Now that Boys to to Jupiter is streaming on HBO Max, wanna re-up this banger of an interview I did last year with Julian Glander about how his deep love for Blender helped bring the movie to life

Spent some time playing with the new Virtual Boy, a peripheral that feels like it was designed for collectors mad that they weren't old enough to get their hands on the original console. Very curious if this is just a fun nostalgia play or if there's more, newer stuff in the pipeline

🫩 I dream of a day where gofundmes aren’t necessary. But until then, please help if you can or signal boost.

I know it can get exhausting to see media gofundmes pop up every few weeks but, it’s hard and we need good journalists in all fields more than ever.
