I would like to say something regarding AI art. I’m a person that believes that artists are vessels, something like radios that tune in to something bigger and become inspired to create. Some call it higher consciousness. Rick Rubin refers to it as ‘Source’ in his book. My…

Many questions linger after the death of Todd Snider. Why was he denied care at a hospital and arrested? Could his death been prevented? Everything we know, and a timeline: savingcountrymusic.com/many-questions…

Whenever we have company over, my wife runs around the house randomly stuffing shit in closets and drawers. Takes me weeks to find anything. Just now found my snake.

Porn, “for the benefit of humanity”, smuggled into a mental health announcement. Pretty on-brand.

Gaming and porn industries are known for being some of the earliest and largest adopters of AI. Not surprised that OpenAI is looking to carve out some of the market, but a little weirded out that the announcement was smuggled in as part of a mental health conversation.

This guy really helped me a lot. And a lot of others too. I'm so lucky I got introduced to the film industry through the organization he created, Sundance. He made a space where people really just care about making great art, as defined by the artists involved. Glad I knew him.

The answer is: The robots

Someone is trying to radicalize us. And yes they’re trying to radicalize both sides against each other. And it’s working. And there doesn’t seem to be any way to stop it other than turning off your phone and your tv (if you still have one), and going outside to hang out with real…



I would argue $3o is the market rate for a gummi bear of those dimensions. That’s a big ass gummi bear. By airport standards actually deal, @JFK $30 buys you a shit turkey sandwich and a bag of crisps

Bruce Springsteen came in today and says he wants the worlds largest gummy bear so we get it for him and he says how much is it I say it’s 30 dollars and he just stares at me like this and then walks away shaking his head, inflation getting everybody
