I do a ton of romance narration and it doesn’t require a lot of research, and STILL it’s rarely a walk in the park. Narration is HARD.

Sheesh!

OMGWHAT

Saw Lady Gaga on Thursday night.
Wow wow wow wow wow

Troutman @robotrowboat Boss: Let's put this matter aside for the time being Me: [looking around nervously] Can only you see the time being? Boss: Huh? Me: Is it standing near me? Boss: Who? Me: [on verge of panic attack] The time being 6:33 PM 06 Jan 18

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

I love this.

Come on then, and remove him.

Gaga is battling an upper respiratory thing, and I’m on pins and needles about Thursday’s concert!

And I completed this icy beach babe triptych collage

Worked on some collage tonight:

Another good book alert!
Eradication: A Fable
By Jonathan Miles

Yesssssss

💯

For me, the question isn’t whether generating art with AI is good or bad. It’s just definitionally impossible. Art is what humans create to express the nonliteral. An algorithm, however much data it has, has no sense of the nonliteral. It might make something that pleases you, but it can’t make art.

"One principle of collage, for me," Sante said, "is you have to kill one thing to make another. It's a small-scale model of revolutionary behavior."

Watch Until the End of the World

Happy Birthday!

HELP!
I can't stop listening to the new Raye album!

A gray terrier mutt with very short fur and a bushy tail is on his back sleeping. Front paws suspended in the air.

My dog has completely deactivated

Omg yes

It’s epic, sonic Cinema!

Album cover of Raye in a red dress pulling a rope connected to a door in the sky. It reveals a blue sky with the words “this music may contain hope.” The background, otherwise, is cloudy and ominous.

Ooooh this Raye album is ON FIRE.
I am in awe.

Selfie of a bearded, bald man holding the book.

Melissa Faliveno’s Hemlock blends addiction, grief, nature, myths, and gender roles in a gripping, beautiful way.

I was sold by the front flap jacket copy:

“A woman haunted by a dark inheritance returns to the woods where her mother vanished in this queer Midwestern gothic—a butch Black Swan.”

I'm digging it big time!

LOL I JUST posted about this.

Cover of the album, which depicts a faded jungle landscape. Two hands emerge from the center with a triangular mirror-like frame in between them.

Nonstop listening to the new Ladytron album today.

It's like I'm taking a long neon-glow road trip across the country in the year 2167.

Gimme gimme

Album cover for The Olympians

Plastic Beach album cover

Tonight’s “chip away at the inboxes” is brought to me by the music of:

The Olympians (cosmic instrumental soul)

&

The Gorillaz (a collage of all kinds of stuff)

I love this and wish I had an avocado rn!
