I love love love that they hired a painter to do these portraits and then acknowledged her by name. Artists of all kinds supporting each other is so beautiful.
Our gorgeous #WakeUpDeadMan end credit portraits, painted from life by Isabella Watling. We’re still in theaters, see my pinned post for a theater finder!

Counter proposal: public hangings of tech billionaires.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.
This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

Fandom isn’t your job. Take a month off. Take 3 years off. Post incomplete fics. Post incomplete art. Never post again. Switch fandoms. Stay loyal to one fandom only. Do whatever tf you want. You literally make all the rules of engagement in this arena.

Read the banned books.
But also read the ones that could be banned. Ones from trans authors, Palestinian authors, and indigenous authors. Read the ones about black happiness and sapphic history. Read the ones from climate scientists and critical comedians. Read the romances and the horror novels.

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda hits out at AI-generated videos of her dead father: ‘Stop doing this to him’
Film-maker tells the public to stop sending her videos, saying: ‘You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings’
Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late actor and comedian Robin Williams, has spoken out against AI-generated content featuring her father.
“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,” Zelda wrote in an Instagram story on Monday. “Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on. But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want. Continue reading...

If this reminds you of an extremely famous book you might have read in high school… yes.
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

the pursuit of moralizing fiction is in fact a fascist movement and more importantly, it seeks to deny individual thought by replacing it with group adherence. if your morals are broken by a work of fiction, your morals were not real in the first place.

Its okay to just dislike something. You don’t need to invent reasons that paint broad strokes over a huge swath of people that enjoy it

I've been making a genuine effort to use the term "fanworks" instead of "content"
I feel like it's important, with the rise of fandom fracturing into a "consumer demands" type of vibe instead of the old hobby enjoying and friendship vibe I am more used to

i hate the fic vs. books comparison because in only one of those the author is being paid in order to just sit down and write. fics are written for self indulgent reasons, at no cost. no author owes you their fics being “good” or to your taste.

The easiest win in the world right now is to continue using your own brain while people around you get relentlessly, intentionally dumber
New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.
Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.
