It felt natural to use my vintage Polaroid to open
this new collaboration. Meet Lynsey from Brooklyn, NY, and her unicorn. It was a relaxed and playful session, and I posted a first selection of colour and black-and-white images

Black and white portrait in soft lighting of a woman with pinkish bob haircut wearing only a translucent white crop top. She stands with hands behind back against a plain background. The polaroid photo is framed from mid-thigh up, with face cropped above the nose so only the mouth and chin are shown. A unicorn tattoo is visible on a shoulder. ©RayMax

You’re absolutely right. I did make this video months ago to remind myself not to go into Deep Spiral Mode and to turn my feelings about AI Slop into something artistic… but I still find myself doomsaging… I think i just have to take my own advice 😭 #WeeknightWriters

Raymax informed me today that Lex Luthor's grand scheme in Superman '25 is yet another real estate scam.

Do any of the writers for Superman films not directed by Snyder even know how to exploit literally another industry?
