C.C. Gong, Suno, and the Empty Solipsism of AI-Generated Music - Opus
AI companies (and their investors) sure do love imagining a world of dehumanized art.
C C Gongβs effusive joy at abandoning the basic human concept of what art is makes me want to cry. It makes me wonder if any of these AI wonks have ever had a meaningful human connection in their entire miserable lives.

Original landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Homeland No. 2603" oil on Ampersand Gessobord, 4"x4" (2026). A peaceful atmospheric landscape painting of a lush green meadow with a couple loosely painted trees on the right. There are undertones of orange in the blue-gray sky and in the grass.
Today sure felt like spring here! Finally! ππ

Photo of brown t-shirt with the stylized illustration of a blue jay perched on gray branch amid pink dogwood blooms with gold centers.
Picture of a bright orange t-shirt in close up to see a very colorful frog surrounded by brightly-colored dots in an abstract pattern. The frog is basically dark brown but is covered with dashes and dots in bright colors to form pleasing patterns.
Black tshirt with an illustration in white of a raccoon standing on its hind legs with its front paws raised above its snarling face. The words Fix Your Heart are spread between its paws in the blue, white, and pink colors of the trans flag.
Photo of a light purple t-shirt with the image in white of an octopus with impossibly long arms that are all tangled together.

The Mt. Hope Bridge seen from Common Fence Point in Portsmouth, RI. The bridge can barely be seen through thick fog over Mt. Hope Bay about twenty minutes past sunset. Just one pier and part of the span are visible.
Foggy sunset tonight

submissions β neon hemlock
We have only 61 stories submitted for WHAT ELEGANT STARS so far. I suppose a lot of folks will submit in the last month, but that still seems low. Though the theme is more specific than some previous ones, so folks are less likely to have anything ready to go.

I would die if you would bury me in the shallow grave of your left collarbone. To haunt the perch above your heart and flute my longing through your ribs is more #harmony than I have earned in this lifetime, but I would die - am dying, let me die - to sing spring into your pulse.

Original coastal marsh oil painting by Tisha Mark, "A Day to Remember" 16"x20" oil on linen (2025). This vibrant Cape Cod inspired painting has a summery light blue sky with atmospheric pink cloud formations over a peaceful coastal marsh. The textured marsh grasses are green and a calm ocean is visible in the distance.
Sharing a Cape Cod inspired marsh painting for #BlueSkyMonday - I hope you find some peaceful moments this week!

Digital drawing in white ink against a black background of the front half of a red slider turtle in profile looking to the left. It has a red patch behind its eye and is drawn with a series of squiggly lines and zigzags to suggest form rather than being a realistic portrayal of the animal.
Illustration countdown to #WrensAria publication!
13/52 Not everyone Wren meets along her journey is friendly... some are downright ill-tempered and in a constant state of high annoyance (though given their circumstances, this can sometimes be forgiven)

Normal people die by #lightning. Maybe that's why they don't like the rain. But we're not normal. We dance in the storm. And when electricity runs its fingers through our hair, we don't die, we live.

I donβt think Covid had any effect on what I listened to. It did affect *how* I listened as I went to a remote work situation that lasted several years. The car was where I did most of my listening. I actually spend less time listening now oddly.

Esha sits #spellbound while her shadow slowly paces. Incrementally, the bulb becomes a toe, then toes, then a foot, then feet. When ankles breach, she reaches to help. Or wants to but finds instead that her hands are buried to the wrists. She wiggles her fingers. What grows wiggles its toes.
