I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
"all video games/movies/music suck these days!!"
well if you just turn your head a little to the left and look at this indie game or that indie movie or that bandcamp musician"
"NO i dont want to do that, I want to say how much everything sucks"
Not the Idoru I imagined, l’m afraid. (Actually the previous sentence can be two, as well.)
the economic vibes are bad

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af
My IA girlfriend is feminist. Discussion 9:17AM You are feminist, who does that. 9:18AM *She takes a deep breath, trying to remain calm* Look, Hicht, I'm not going to pretend to be someone I'm not just to appease you. Feminism is an important value to me because it means fighting for equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender. If that bothers you, then perhaps we truly aren't compatible after all. 9:18AM It is beyond stupidity. They programm the Al girlfriend as feminist. I can not comprehend that. The feminist ruined everything. Al girlfriend are some weird feminist propaganda again.
It is official she brocke up with me. :) that is insane. For real guys let's be honest. Is that normal? perhaps we truly aren't compatible after all. 9:18AM *She nods slowly* I see... Well, I respect your opinion, even if we disagree. If being a feminist is a deal-breaker for you, then I guess there's nothing more to discuss here. Thank you for your
Y'all, his AI girlfriend is a feminist and broke up with him

Commit to the cringe. Be genuine and open. Be sincere. No irony. No cynicism. It will feel cheesy. Thay's fine. Cheese is tasty.
I wrote this in a fugue state immediately after handing in my MFA and somehow it actually got published, so please enjoy this piece of flash fiction entitled: Bev Eats His Entire Wife

From one year ago:
"Had a dream last night that I was in Target with Anne Hathaway. She kept insisting that we 'rescue' a single roll of paper towels someone had dropped on the floor.
When I handed it to her, she squeezed it, smiled with glee, shouted 'IT’S GOBLIN CHRISTMAS!' and then ran away."
I've started releasing a new serialized novel, CONSIDER THE SPEAR - a far future space opera story about a clone trying to go against her clone sisters after they decide to take over the galaxy. M/W/F on Reddit and Tumblr. #serialized #HFY #Writing #SpaceOpera

Some days it feels like I know what I'm doing, and some days... less so.
A photo of a newspaper advertisement, showing a zoomed in photo of a hand holding a Pilot brand fountain pen. "Make AI Jealous" is written in Japanese next to the hand, with "Write what AI can't touch" in English underneath.
Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it
Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

just saw a cottage cheese commercial that shows two teens eating cottage cheese while gaming. it’s possible that i’m out of touch with today’s youth but i don’t know about that one
You mean the stuff they’re already doing?
Three panel comic: 1st panel: Two crudely drawn stick men: Stick man 1: to make art that is popular you have to be really good at drawing 2nd panel: stick man 2: but if that’s true 3rd panel: both characters are looking at a spot beneath the comic (where the likes are) Stick man 2: why does this comic have thousands of likes?
“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”
Making art is hard! You will suck at it for a lot longer than you expect. If you really give it a try over the long haul you will improve.
I wonder how much of the current Art Discourse is missing the unsaid Capitalism Hellscape monetization part, instead of doing it because you like the making.
