American conservatives in the Arts complaining it's hard to get work for cons & calling that "discrimination". Tiresome.

It's not "discrimination" if it's just because nobody in their right mind likes you.

I forgot how much fun it is to randomly pair unrelated audio & video.

Every time I realize I'm reading or watching something AI made, I feel like a date stood me up & sent some mass produced airport gift shop candy basket instead. Gee thx. Very thoughtful.

Wow
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

Stop calling it an "administration". It's a *regime*.

Please GET THIS, U.S. humans; TAKE IT TO HEART AND ACT ON IT. There haven't been rules for a long time. The filthy creature in the WH will not be disposed of by rules. Now move. MOVE.

OK #ArtAdventCalendar day 9, a lil comic I drew on the train called The Leaves of Afterthought

Here's a phrase newsies should pretty much stop using forever; any variant of "...science fiction becomes reality". Jeez.

Okee Dokey. Until recently I needed Facebutt for one last thing & now I don't need it for that any more so I just now finally deleted my Facebutt account for good.

I feel cleaner.

The price we pay for tolerating too much stupidity.

“…Even if they are able to clean up his mess … elect a supremely sane president next, America will NEVER again be a trusted partner. Because there are enough Americans who would vote for him … (again).

I couldn't even say anything. She was right. The damage this has done is endless…”

Ok, so...everyone within brief walking or driving distance of wherever DT is at needs get up off their butts, head en masse to *its* location, smother all resistance, pick *it* up bodily & remove *it* from the planet. Why did this not happen long ago? Get moving. Now.

"Progress" in Art is often, in error, framed like science (the future might not be jetpacks but rather, say, music made of mud) like Eno saying "nobody's gotten farther" than Scott Walker. It's less important that Art get jetpacks than for the individual artist to grow, which might mean mud music.

Yes yes skygazing is good - life sustaining, even.

Was just reading bunnyfrogcatsnake's thoughts on being famous. My feelings exactly.

It's correct to say "political violence" has no place in a properly & fully Democratic state.

Political violence will cease as soon as we become one.

"Neo-liberalism" isn't liberal; it is a nonsense re-branding of conservatism. Kinda like when Mussolini realized that "authoritarian" was an unpopular word, so he re-branded it as "fascism", which sounded better at the time, but only really means "authoritarisnism that YOU WILL LIKE."

Once we get Democracy back on track y'all conservatives need to relocate to Russia, North Korea, China, etc., & get out of OUR hair.

Social media has a dark side; it's OUR responsibility NOT to let it win. FB & other popular platforms increasingly exploit our weakness; staying on them makes you complicit in this *especially* if you are NOT among the weak. I'm increasingly disappointed in those who stay on those platforms.

beware of the Blob
it creeps & leaps
& glides & slides
across the floor
right through the door
& all around the wall
a splotch, a blotch
ne careful of the blob

"...many GOP lawmakers denounced the vote as a stunt, arguing Democrats were seeking...to attack the president."

Well DUH. If you're NOT attacking that filthy creature, WTH is WRONG with you?!?
