Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft.
Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

As a kid, my fave side mission in Link’s Awakening was the ghost following you who wanted to see its old house, only to feel sad and ask to be taken to its grave. It’s so bittersweet! ❤️

Grass whistles

#FFT #FFTactics #art
A digital painting of Ramza and Alma from Final Fantasy Tactics. They are sitting together in the grass. Alma is blowing on a grass blade, and Ramza is holding a strand of grass in his hands, about to do the same. Behind them are two saddled chocobos, their mounts. The landscape behind them shows a line of trees against a sunset sky.

The Lake of Birds.
A small scow-boat with four passengers drifts toward a grove of strange alien plants covered in deadly spines. Dead birds and bodies are seen in the water that surrounds them.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran.

Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.
I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour. But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families. The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that. Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years. We've shared late nights, studio sessions and stages. He has this infectious magic about him that I've grown to love. I consider him a brother. And because of that, we've had some difficult conversations this past week. The type of talks rooted in love and respect for one another that still end in a place of fundamental disagreement. Nothing I'm writing here is out of spite or because I want to tear down his character. But as I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened. Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues. Ed was in … What I said at MetLife I have been saying on stages around the world for almost three years. So why is it an issue now? Because now I'm sharing a stage with one of the biggest artists in the world, in some of the biggest stadiums in America. At a certain level of exposure, "Free Palestine" becomes too much of a risk. If I kept doing the shows, saying Free Palestine, with Ed implicitly supporting it, the crowd getting loud and showing undeniable support for Palestinian liberation, what artist might speak out next? The stage becomes resistance. Maybe that's why this time it became so important to silence me. And one of the most effective ways to enforce that silence has been to weaponize the accusation of antisemitism. Antisemitism is real. And that is exactly why the word matters too much to be used as a shield against criticism of the Israeli state. When criticizing Israel, opposing Zionism or saying "Free Palestine" gets conflated with hatred of Jewish people, it doesn't protect Jewish people. It protects Israel from accountability. I hope this isn't the end of my relationship with Ed. Thirteen years of friendship doesn't disappear because of one painful disagreement. I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation. When my brother Omar was doing the subtitles for the video I posted from MetLife, I thanked him. He told me there's a phrase in Arabic: لا شكر على واجب "La shukra ala wajeb." There is no thanks for a duty. That stayed with me. Because that's what this has become for me and millions of others around the world. A duty. Not something deserving of praise or gratitude. Not brave. Human. Who is winning the internet, who is getting canceled, who gets to play the stadium and who doesn't, all of it becomes so small when held against what we are actually witnessing in Gaza and the West Bank. An entire people be…

the haunting
an illustration of jude from the graphic novel 'strange cases' in a cathedral-like setting, holding scales with lit candles, as though it was a candelabra. the smoke from the candles swirl around him, leading to a looming statue of his mother holding a sword. her sculpted visage is partially weathered and damaged, exposing the bones that lay underneath the statue. surrounding him are more statues, this time of saints, similarly weathered, with their bones partially exposed.

I was part of a free Ivalice Anthology zine organized by Glassshard (glassshard.tumblr.com) in...2021? I never posted it outside the zine itself, so here it is. Features Alma and Isilud.

[1/2]

#FFT #FinalFantasyTactics #FinalFantasy
Alma steels herself to attempt to break away from her kidnapper, Isilud. Alma: Kh--! She pushes him into the pond Isilud's chocobo is drinking from. Caught off guard, the chocobo lets out a loud WARK!! as the two fall into the water. Isilud: ...... (He wrings out his robes.) Alma: HMPH! (Alma's restraints seem to have increased, binding her at her elbows now rather than her wrists as before. Even so, she appears undeterred, still ready to fight her way out should she find another opportunity.) Isilud: Stubborn, aren't you, Alma? Just what are you scheming? (He is still working on wringing his clothes out.) Alma: I'll not answer to a pathetic sopping wet knave. But I confess I expected quite a bit more from an esteemed Temple Knight. Isilud: Pfft... Isilud: Reckless and brazen. ...You remind me of my sister. Alma: Are the Temple Knights wont to patronize as well? (Isilud sits himself by the campfire where a pot of soup is cooking.) Isilud: Forgive me. That was not my intention. However... The night approaches. While I commend your attempts to elude me thus far, I suggest you suspend your plans for now. Isilud: For your safety... Isilud: Please stay the night. Alma: ...Obviously. (fwsh) (She sinks next to Isilud, the two leaning against the slumbering chocobo. Isilud is visibly uncomfortable. Alma is plainly irate. Neither dares to look the other in the eye.) Isilud: ... Isilud: Besides! I can't finish this myself. And I'm sure the both of us would benefit from a full meal. Alma: ... Isilud: Here. (He hands her a bowl of soup.) Isilud: I promise it's not poisoned. I do have my pride as a Temple Knight after all, regardless of what you believe. (Alma stares at the bowl now in her hands. The furrow in her brow deepens. Eventually she brings the bowl to her lips.) Alma: I won't thank you. Isilud: ...Of course.

A YouTube video for the Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The comments section has an exchange as detailed below. “@TheMrdangles16 • 11y ago: i hate the water temple... too confusing :(“ “@KeithHalsell • 2y ago: it's been 9 years, i hope you are doing great in life now.” “@TheMrdangles16 • 2y ago: it couldn't be going worse Keith.”
