And then, because I saw them live, The Moonlandingz.

Thinking of one true gift fandom gave general media: Making Of documentaries.
The first book on the making of a TV show was for Star Trek in 1968. Then there was one on 2001.
Then came Electronic Press Kits, which needed content to offer...
Now, nerds with blogs interview Hollywood stars regularly.

Is it a coincidence, do we think, that transphobia most strongly took hold among members of a ruling class educated in a school system best characterised as one of organised, institutional child abuse?

One reason transphobia took hold so firmly in Britain is that a sizable number of British parents hate their kids and love having an excuse to abuse them. 'Fighting the trans social contagion' gives them that excuse.

Then it's not a fucking ceasefire, is it.
Since the ceasefire took effect one month ago, Israeli attacks have killed at least 242 Palestinians and injured 622.

To relax between big projects, I play around a lot in Photoshop and sometimes make imaginary products. If you've read Sandman Slim you'll recognize the band. I took the sheep skeleton shot in the desert somewhere east (?) of LA.

I have tried, and failed, to get treatment for this for decades, because my word doesn't mean shit and healthcare doesn't care. I have to bring a white guy to speak for me, and suddenly my condition is real.
Tell me again how the NHS isn't inherently full of misogynoir. Lie to me.

Goodnight from Justine Tuttle, wondering how cold the nights have to get before the chimes of the phantom ice cream van stops being heard. Goodnight from Grace Nash, tying ribbons of prayer to the bare wooden bones of the wild cherry trees on Mill Lane. Goodnight from Hookland.

🔬🧠Brain‑training games for LC cognitive dysfunction? The RECOVER‑NEURO trial shows they don’t address the underlying pathology. Games can’t fix inflammation, microvascular issues, or neuro‑immune dysfunction - we need interventions that understand the biology not candy crush 🍭

I feel like Kahlo would have hated this, just as she would've hated the commercialization of her works and even her likeness.
Upcoming Kahlo auction could fetch up to $60 million. Mexican art historians explain why
Frida Kahlo’s painting “El sueño (La cama)” is expected to fetch between $40 million and $60 million at auction, potentially making it the most expensive work by a female or Latin American artist.

We even have a longstanding art protocol for doing this. If you ever see Title (after Somebody) that means the artist is directly responding to Somebody’s art. It’s an ongoing conversation.
I counter the claim that "AI steals just the way human artists steal." We do not. Artists engage relationally with sources rather than severing them for computational processing. Computers are not people. Comparing generative tools to artists is a dehumanizing act.
