If computers weren't a mistake, billionaires definitely were.

I have a bunch of tabs open and am looking at the Max API this fine Sunday.

How's things, y'all?

The best part of being a polyglot leftist isn’t the “being a polyglot” itself, but what can happen when you know how to work in shared multi-community contexts, both internally and in the larger society.

Want to hire someone to add some spice and originality to your project or campaign?

I'm looking for remote consulting work in the following areas:

• Music producing
• Composing and sound design
• Video editing

Strong preference given to social justice and progressive/leftist/queer/trans work and projects.

To get an idea of my work, see the pinned posts for this account.

Thanks!

if the presently dire state of things has convinced you that the apocalypse is both inevitable and just around the corner? maybe consider that this is a conceit borne of your own lack of awareness and experience, because things have been fucked up and bullshit on all vectors for a long while now.

I used to think that creative success meant you worked towards a thing, established a certain level of success, and past that, if you're lucky, crossed over into the mainstream and either hopefully stayed there, flamed out, or got big, if not really big.

That's all horseshit. lol

Video and 3D post-production folks:

If someone wanted to make or purchase a video workstation for post-production work (video effects in particular, possibly 3D work as part of that general workflow) on Linux, is that still a viable thing at present? It seems like it's iffy, but entirely because of OS and driver support problems.

Thanks for that.

"ofc" now means "of communism." i don't make the rules, although perhaps i just did 🤔

While I'm thinking about this: I've learned a ton of useful information about working in the arts from listening to, and studying, comics.

Not just because of craft or even stage presence (although definitely that too), but because the best comics tend to be a bit ahead of the curve, even in their own profession.

Liberating Theory -- 1986

https://archive.org/details/liberatingtheory00albe

"Each idealized monist theory targets different "domination relations" as the "motor force of history." Not surprisingly, as they each find a different essential tension, their respective proponents criticize one another harshly.

The idealized marxist looks first to economic and class relations to explain not only economic, but also sexual, racial, political and all other types of domination.

Working on plans for the summer and fall. If you know of gigs or residencies that would be into what I do, let me know! (See pinned posts for details on that.)

You know how fast food joints pull bullshit like making people pay for their uniforms?

Working in the arts can be like that, but for any number of things, if not everything.

Woke up to write down some stuff in the middle of the night, so more on that in a bit if it's not like "the trees are on the freeway now, must remember when I wake up, very important!!", but first...yawns

Is it still legal to say "fuck Brian Kemp," or am I risking the wall with my demon tongue #handmaidstale

Can't get a revenue stream happening if you're part of getting booted off of a streaming service en masse.

Can't get monetized if the algorithm keeps undermining discoverability, either.

So now what?

Computers are awesome, don't let corporations mess that up for you.

All computers should come with BASIC or some effective analogue to that, a la C64 and Atari back in the 1980s.

Walled gardens, both in software and hardware, only exist because corporations put them there.

Strange keyboard snob thing: (is me)

Being every bit as picky about keyboard stands as the keyboards themselves
