Late night thoughts on the entertainment industry. I feel like we’ve entered a “Live Action Adaptation” or “ A/I slop generative shows” to have massive block office/stream duds where the industry is going to self reboot and bring actual creatives back to do this shit over again.

With the current landscape of the entertainment industry (no jobs to go around, or “development”) I’m reminded that our industry was taken over by business/tech bros that don’t understand creative industries/innovation and can’t be the end all be all model. /1

Apparently I got “written up” because I laughed in a customer face when they told me “A/I art is real art and that artist are in their feelings and should accept all art”. Homie didn’t like I insulted him when I told him to pick up an actual pencil to draw.

Friends - yes
Family - took years and after an internship they became very supportive. Great grandmother was the first supportive when I started drawing nsfw, she thought I was selling drugs for extra income, but was drawing smut instead.

If you're a creative person, do you have friends and family that actually care about anything you make?

Crazy how in the lords year of 2026 that playboy is making the most sense with this statement but also calling a spade a spade with congress on “making safe places” but choose to ignore on more looming threats and dangers with ai bots, ai scams and predatory ai intimacies.
"Until social media improves at enforcing their own Community Standards regarding false identities, and there are more regulations on proper AI disclosure in general, those who struggle with romantic connections remain vulnerable to artificial intimacy and the social atrophy that comes with it."

This is literally the death of ownership and the secondary/third hand market. I know many of us been saying for years to invest in physical because of potential situation like this! Get what you want now and grow that collection. Embracing PC and retro consoles, Fuck Sony!!

Anyone who’s up for re election or the various democratic that voted for this, needs to be booted the fuck out. We still have time to combat this, call your reps and get your voice heard!!

This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself
Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA
