pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.

when it comes down to it, he died in exactly the way he advocated for the world to be, and honestly he's blessed to die in the way he preached for.
but make no mistake, the world he wanted is the world I existentially fight against with my whole being. in the world I want, he'd still be alive

Patreon gave me information on its approach to SB 20, ASMR, & lolicon. Originally I planned to discuss its relationship with ASMR for a larger story. But then I had an audio removed from Patreon, sparking a larger story on censorship and Patreon. It's a long read

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.
stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.
they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.
fuck them, pay labor.
