I have so little time for personal art nowadays that it has become precious to me. This year of 2025 I made these two that I adore - Time's End and Sea of Giants, both for a personal project :)

I've said it before but one of the most revelatory things about reading Marxist theory is seeing just how much genAI automation is just the same old business-as-usual capitalism. Here's Ernest Mandel's Late Capitalism in 1972.

last.fm PLAYBACK dropped 🎉

2025 war ein crazy Musikjahr. Ich möchte deshalb die Alben hervorheben, die 2025 rauskamen und all time faves wurden

(Die Nummern auf den Bildern zeigen, wie viel ich sie gehört hab, was sich nicht unbedingt damit deckt, ob sie letztes Jahr rauskamen)

On my favorite games of 2025, in that weird meandering way I think about games and life and industry and everything. Thanks to @giantbomb.bsky.social for having me!

kam zurück, berichtete von ihrer Diskussion mit der KI und meinte, naja das sei ganz interessant, aber die KI bestätige vor allem ihre Meinungen, und das sei ja auch erwartbar, schließlich sei sie so programmiert. Der Prof fiel aus allen Wolken, das war ihm gar nicht eingefallen.

Wirklich jedes. einzelne. Mal. wenn jemand in der Öffentlichkeit von den "Fähigkeiten" der KI schwärmt, zeigt sich, dass sie es vor allem lieben, ungestört mit sich selbst zu reden. Was die so toll finden, ist nicht ein "Gegenüber", sondern ein Spiegel.
Zum Jahreswechsel empfiehlt Tagesspiegel-Reporter Sebastian Leber in einem langen Text über Achtsamkeit, mit sozialen Medien aufzuhören und sich stattdessen lieber mit einer KI auszutauschen

Today's VHS was Johnny Mnemonic, a cyberpunk flick where Keanu Reeves jacks into the internet in the year 2021. Which as we all remember looked exactly like this.

Sitze im Flixtrain und frage mich, wie viel des schlechten Rufs eigentlich durch Rassismus kommt.
Fahren schon ziemlich viele Migras hier mit. Aber ehrlich gesagt sehr ruhig und angenehm hier (auch weil die Züge einfach nicht überbucht sind)

So the season 2 finale of Ranma aired the other day and they added a line to make Akane pansexual, or at the very least, Ran-sexual
