i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Not has Israel murdered hundreds of Palestinian footballers in Gaza, but now their own players are getting arrested for gang-raping a tourist.

And they’re still allowed to compete in the World Cup.
Quds News tweet: Two active Israeli football players and a former player were arrested following reports of their involvement in the rape of a 29-year-old American tourist during her visit to the occupied Palestinian territories, according to Israeli reports.

how my opinion of the kardashians has changed as i've gotten older:
Stage 1: These dumb broads Stage 2: ACTUALLY, THE FACT THAT KIM WAS ABLE TO TAKE A MOMENT OF SEVERE EXPLOITATION AND BUILD FAME AND POWER FROM IT IS IMPRESSIVE Stage 3: WHILE MANY OF THE CRITIQUES ARE ROOTED IN SEXISM, IT IS TRUE THAT THEY HAVE NOT COLLECTIVELY USED THEIR WEALTH OB POWER TO ANY BENEFIT OF SOCIETY AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT Stage 4: These dumb broads

a couple of years ago, whenever i'd say that joe biden should be doing this or that, i would get responses from his supporters explaining that the president can't just do whatever he wants. he has to follow all these rules and norms and laws and such, apparently

More Resident Evil trivia than you can shake a Beretta at (whatever that means)!

I expect this kind of thing is what I'm known for as a content creator, so why not lean into it?

Here's two hours of Resident Evil facts from the @whatculturegaming.bsky.social team. Enjoy!

this week, we got @coollike.gay and @libbycwatson.com from the great @whatsallthispod.bsky.social to chat with us about Bloodborne, Fromsoftware's 2015 gothic horror opus, and why it's one of the most accurate Britain simulators ever made. see you Wednesday, fellow hunters.
A poster for the video game Bloodborne with a tranchcoated hunter holding a saw cleaver and a blunderbuss with their back to the camera in the gothic horror city of Yharnam. The head has been replaced by Cool Voltaire.

Amazing to have my podcast app automatically go from this to Matt Bernstein's latest episode on Bill Maher featuring @oldmanweldon.bsky.social and @franifio.bsky.social what a lineup
oldmanweldon.bsky.social Will Weldon @oldmanweldon.bsky.social · Oct 17
New episode of I Hate Bill Maher w/ @mlefaye. Pretty standard stuff: He stumbles his way through his own monologue, makes incredibly lame jokes about killing women, and fundamentally misunderstands the entire point of political power. Charles Barkley makes an appearance, but not on the panel :(

I expected Keir Starmer to be a bland, middle-management, platitudinous, tediously disappointing Prime Minister, which is why it’s been such a surprise to find out he’s actually a stupid, incompetent, vindictive, reactionary and outright dismaying Prime Minister.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
