Strong Ivan Bilibin vibes (but apparently it's by an another Russian artist, Ernest Lissner).

There's an entire active subreddit for people who have a "romantic relationship" with AI. It's terrifying.

agreed with them on transphobic talking points

I decided to check the actual podcast with Kirk and see what's the transphobic statement he made.

Here's the video, 22:20 onwards, it goes on for a while.

We can discuss the details, neither do I like his response overall, but you're massively overblowing and demonizing his position. Anyone can check for themselves. If this is how you think a transphobic fascist-lite sounds, if you think he would actually appeal to any republican voters thanks to this response, you must have a very caricatural understanding of politics and society.

 

Flash flew across the mid-2000s internet sky in a blaze of glory and unbridled creativity. It was the backbone of menus and programs and even critical applications for working with sites. But by 2009, bugs and compatibility issues, the introduction of HTML5 with many of the same features, and a declaration that Flash would no longer be welcome on Apple’s iOS devices, sent Flash into a spiral that it never recovered from.

But thanks to the Archive’s emulation, Flash lives again, at least as self-contained creations you can play in your browser.

What emerges, as thousand of these Flash animations and games arrive, is what part it played in the lives of people now in their twenties and thirties and beyond. “Almost like being given a moment to breathe, or to walk into a museum space and see distant memories hung up on walls as classic art,” our patrons wrote in.
