Shards of Reflection is the 5th City Between book and is kickstarting now www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...
If you are unfamiliar, The City Between is supernatural shorts in the same setting. Like Fame and Misfortune is about a lesbian werewolf bodyguard protecting a spoiled popstar!
"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.
Ben inspired us! Today's top section in Garbage Day is a big list of all the indie and subscriber-driven media our team is following and supporting.

Hopefully a good starting point for anyone who wants to get away from Trump-compromised mainstream media.

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

The left is not "missing out" on AI. It's winning the argument. Americans worry about AI and dislike tech CEOs. They're mobilizing against data centers. They support regulation, even refusal.
Calls for the left to embrace AI are an effort to change the terms of the debate in Silicon Valley's favor.
YOU are capable of utterly unique breathtaking art. every single person reading this is a miracle of existence, and you have infinite masterpieces of creation just spilling off of you all the time. there is no reason to compare yourself to the infinite masterpieces of anyone else. theres enough room

It is, once again, backup day. Backup your stuff! Repost to remind a friend to also back up their stuff.
Excellent. I hope more pubs, bars and breweries follow this lead - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
i mean, we will figure out the way to make things. but as you go to events this year, if youβre going, and feel like maybe the industry is healing, it might be because there are less people in the room now than five years ago. youβre not wrong, and you might not feel like a survivor, but you are
I missed this so popping in to say thank you to everyone that contributed. I hope it helped a lot of people! I bet this wasn't easy to organize so I won't ask for it to happen again, but I'd gladly donate somewhere to either see a recording or whatever resources came from the it!
Every business right now thinks its such an essential part of your life that you'd give them anything to keep using it and brother I am here to tell you I don't need a chat app that bad
Oh whew! Glad to read it!
Annoying, but (since I like to give too much context) as a designer I notice this often breaks down to:
1) The owner(s) of the business wants to feel like what they do has some kind of meaning.
2) Google cramming the internet into the shape it wants it to be.
Guess which one usually happens?
That's good! I think being curt gets the point across, and you'll be a lot nicer to them than the backers (and the public) would be.
If Discord does a hard AI push I cannot imagine how badly this will go for them. I cannot see a way for this not to punch a huge hole in their stomach that money will start falling out of. I told them this in my survey reply, I hope they'll listen.
Thank you so much for talking them through this. I deeply, deeply hate this technology but I feel for the people who fall backwards into a shitshow because they don't know enough of what it says or does to tell it's confidently lying. Glad you're pulling them out of the pit.

Happy new year to all the artists who haven't had time, energy, passion, or any other needed resource to draw enough personal stuff to join end-of-the-year memes in 2025. May we find more of all of the above in 2026, as well as compassion for ourselves if we don't!
The only thing you need to be stressed about is being stuck between a gfuel tent and an ai anime girl. I think youβll do great! Everyone I spoke to last year said they were doing alright, even with all the news at the time.
It's been so thrilling to see a project like this get such traction and for the community to rally this way around it. Thank you to all the hard work @panelparty.net has put into this project and I wish them the best of luck!
