"It's on the kids to reject this sh!t!"

Inspired by filmmaker Marcus Jones's quote on @bobbymillertime.com's newsletter, I wrote my own newsletter about AI social media slop.
Who is the Slop For?
AI generated social media is here. I don’t know who its audience is supposed to be.

Yom Kippur starts at sunset tonight.

I wrote about Netflix's #LongStoryShort, which I think is the best representation of American Jewishness that I've seen in pop culture.
"Long Story Short" Made Me Feel Seen
In praise of Raphael Bob-Waksberg’s new animated series, and a reflection of what it means to see Jewishness on screen.

Obviously, it’s a minor thing when you consider how generally horrible this is, but I can’t get over how ugly the aesthetic of AI slop is. It’s like we took hundreds of years art theory and threw it all away in favor of clip art.

Yes, it's important to capitulate to the bully. We all know that totally works, and once you give them what they want, they never bother you again.
