There’s a “high-end” AI out there for animation that takes your storyboards and spits out a “finished” product in minutes (with some wonky issues) for the low reasonable price of $700 per month. Hard pass.

Finally played through the classic Capcom beat ‘em up Cadillacs & Dinosaurs and, man what a fun game that was. Never got to play it in the arcade when it came out in the 90s and it was WAAAAAY better than advertised. That action & soundtrack are 🔥🔥🔥!

I played as all the heroes but mostly as the woman Hannah Dundee. She had a sick set of moves. 👊🏽💥 Wish they would revive Cadillacs & Dinosaurs. It’s a fascinating premise for a franchise.

Saw that Elizabeth Holmes/ Nathan Fielder documentary You Can See Everything. It’s really a thriller disguised as a documentary that is very mind-bending. Didn’t expect what I saw.

Things must be bad in Hollywood if actors are taking movie work from the Daily Wire. No judgment to anyone who has to do that (or use AI for animation.) People need to survive somehow.

Just tried the new weapons-grade Listerine Clinical Solutions Gum Health mouthwash (the pink one) and that stuff is 🔥🔥🔥! It makes your mouth feel like you’re Godzilla breathing a power flame on Mothra.

There is a new breed of high-level celebrity roaming the Earth. They are the ones who made big movies in the past & travel to countries known for amazing cuisines and make shows filming themselves saying the same thing to every Michelin-star chef who feeds them: “That was the BEST meal!”

Earlier this year, someone I know rage posts asking “why men are this/that/etc…I genuinely want to know”. I responded with a thoughtful email addressing the concern. Many months later, crickets. Some people just want a performance on here. And THAT person has just lost their Rob+ subscription. 😂

Phase 1 of the YouTube experiment is done. 9k views in the first month is higher than we thought. Now that we know how the platform works, on to Phase 2. Onward! ✊🏽

Oh, man! This is sad. I got to hang out with Duncan during a show at a small venue early 2002. He was trying out new stuff that was experimental. We sat at the bar for a bit just talking about the process of making art and music and how you have to take risks. Good guy! May he Rest In Peace! 🙏🏽💜

Dolly Parton. Loved everything about her, especially her kindness. I’ve heard so many stories about how well she treated people. That shouldn’t just be her example, but the standard. May she Rest in Peace. 🙏🏽💜

So, a Congressional candidate who totally skipped our houses while walking door-to-door to get people out to vote (for him, I’m sure) came in THIRD PLACE tonight. That kind of laziness won’t get you elected, man. 🤷🏽‍♂️

That is NOT the way to the sweet lifestyle of Congressional stock buying, questionable kickbacks and boot-licking TV appearances. We literally saw dude with his sidekick contemplate walking to our houses and basically said “nah.” Now voters are going to let someone else enjoy all those perks. 😂

Some people are about to lose their subscription to Rob+. Unlike Netflix, I don’t let people come back. Once you’re gone, you’re GONE! 😂

I think this merger would eventually take down both companies.

So I’ve been having this ongoing debate with a close longtime friend who keeps sending me Star Wars AI fan films that range from meh to absolute dogsh*t. He gobbles up this AI slop like free pancakes at IHOP and feels they’re way better than Disney Star Wars. This tells me a few things-

This is why George Lucas moved on & focused on building that kickass art museum in L.A. -Lucas Museum of Art. The reception of the prequels showed him that many Star Wars fans simply ultimately didn’t appreciate the art. So he moved on & focused his time on a meaningful project like a museum of art

Ultimately, I think that is the best lesson George Lucas taught everyone- be passionate about making your art! Some people will love it & many others may not understand or appreciate it. But as long as you are making art to challenge and please yourself, the right people will show up.

1. Disney StarWars has really lowered the bar for the franchise to the point that people like my friend consider AI Slop Wars superior storytelling 2. SlopWars has greatly contributed to people no longer caring about the franchise because there’s so much SW slop everywhere. Which led me to realize-

People who use Chat GPT to write YouTube scripts…WHY?!?! I’ve watched a few channels that have the same writing cadence using the same phrases like -Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. -It wasn’t (insert description), it was vibes. -In conclusion… 🙄 Now, more than ever, is the time to be unique.

Watching that Paris Agency family real estate show on Netflix & that has to be the most loving yet demanding family on TV. Every season it seems like a family member is moving away to a new country to “expand the business.” Eventually, someone is bound to move to the moon to sell property.

I hate all these companies. We create content, they exploit it, and then act as gatekeepers to the very audience we've built. It's such bullshit.

I noticed BlueSky was down earlier today but didn’t miss it because I hardly have any engagement on here. In fact, until proven otherwise, I’m operating under the assumption that 97% of people on here are bots programmed to ignore my posts. 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

If SCRUBS can come back and be great then other good things like society valuing art, science, intelligence and decency can come back, too. I’m speaking it into existence!

Watching the HEAT @ Hornets play-in game. I feel partly* responsible for this because we attended a Hornets game in Charlotte earlier this year and they turned things around immediately after that to pass Miami in the standings. *- Miami running back the same core roster yearly is also at fault.

Also, the Heat tend to do well and win every time I’m fully paying attention to the game. When I’m multitasking or doing something else, they lose. If Erik Spoelstra knew this, I’m sure I’d be kidnapped on game days and forced to watch games. (Somebody feel free to tell him.)

I don’t understand the concept of “hate watching”. Anyone doing that is still WATCHING the show/movie they claim to hate. These people must not value their own time.

Just learned that there is an official term for online etiquette people who like policing everyone- “Bluesky Scolds”. 😂 From what I’ve observed on here, that seems accurate to me.

I’m chronically offline on here for days, sometimes even weeks. Every time I return there’s always some new “online etiquette” that people lose their minds over if it’s not followed. Also just learned about the terms “motion”, “bimbofication” & “looksmaxxing”. Humanity, are you ok???
