every time I see someone complain about unions I think about how unions were the consensus alternative to the previous system of burning the factory owner alive inside his house

Not making any threats here, just thinking out loud as a historian — do they people brazenly pushing for impunity for the wealthy elites not know what traditionally comes next?

The problem isn't that AI can do your job (it can't). The problem is management thinks AI can do your job.

The NYT laying off half it’s art dept as they ramp up the use of A.I. tools is 100% related to UArts closing due to a “steep drop in enrollment.” Regardless of A.I.’s actual capabilities the story being told to (and accepted by) business leaders is damaging the perceived value of the visual arts.

Godzilla 1954 is very specifically against the bomb and making bigger bombs to intimidate each other into living peacefully. Godzilla Minus One is a giant fuck you to even the idea of war.

The aids quilt, circa 1996. There's no way to truly explain or express how I feel when I think that AIDS is a chronic but manageable condition today. It feels like fantasy. I want to go back in time and tell 14 year old me that someday there will be hope.

Everyone: Okay, about to start this Godzilla Minus One movie. Pray 4 Tokyo lol Everyone 90 minutes later: God in heaven. Cinema is the language of dream and nightmare. War is a crime against life itself

godzilla minus one needs to be mandatory viewing for studio execs, lock them in a room together and leave it on a loop until their eyes bleed and they realize you can make a great movie on $15M with the right writing and direction

This is a brilliant article that goes from the deeper themes in the original Godzilla to the silent, nauseating fear that we have waited too long to resist or even mitigate climate change. But more than that, you need to know Godzilla Minus One is a cinematic marvel

The absolute masterpiece Godzilla Minus One is on Netflix! Here’s something I wrote last year digging into Godzilla as the embodiment of the embodiment of apocalyptic modernity — a world that gave us climate change as well as The Bomb

There's a reason why I told Athena she had a veto over anything I ever posted about her, and that it wouldn't go up until and unless she said "yes." If she said "no" I didn't argue. (When she was younger and didn't understand the online world, Krissy was the yes/no person. Krissy is VERY private.)

It's finally happening.

"average American commits 3 felonies a day" factiod actually just statistical error. Spiders Donadl, who lives at Mar-a-Lago & commits over 10,000 felonies each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

I'm above average and I don't manage three felonies a day

Few years back I wrote a fan comic Scooby-Doo/John Constantine short thing. Art fell through, except the last bonus page that @lartist.bsky.social drew. It's never been anywhere I think, so here it is, for you guys.
