As a media pro with kids and a new dog, my viewing happens in stolen moments. Turns out all my experience has taught me how to analyze stuff even in my pockets of free time 🚨 Latest #newsletter: #horror as sociology + "woke" #Vonnegut + the tape that changed my life substack.com/home/post/p-...

🧵 I wanted to give an update on working more with #VEO-3. I spent the weekend trying to create a simple #aianimation – just farm animals walking into a barn at night. After three hours, I had maybe two usable shots. I wasted a lot of energy making a lot of useless #aivideo.

Social media fuels our #SocialIsolation. Cable news profits from anxiety. Politicians campaign on fear. Went to see a B-horror movie and left thinking about #community. A grandmother's death cabin in #FinalDestination explains it all 👇 medium.com/write-your-w...

After breaking down the hidden human labor and environmental costs involved in these #VEO-3 AI videos in this weeks newsletter (see below 👇), I'm testing it with a classic animation challenge: recreating Old Major's speech from Animal Farm in 1950s cartoon style. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/wesleyed...

Maybe—just maybe—this shouldn’t be a money-making enterprise. If we’re building this on the backs of our labor, shouldn’t it be used to help humanity? Instead, you’re turning around and asking us to pay for it. futurism.com/nick-clegg-s...

The rich used to be great patrons of the arts - building things for society and now the rich want to defund the arts and buy junk like Twitter, yachts and doomsday bunkers.

📚🎧 Take on Melania's #AI audiobook #news that literally no one asked for: I'm actually not totally mad about this. She's cloning HER voice, not replacing voice actors trying to survive in this gig economy we've collectively decided to build. 🧵 💙📚 www.geo.tv/latest/60575...

Amazon Prime charging extra to remove ads is rich when the whole platform is already one giant ad for Amazon. Everything about streaming was supposed to be an improvement over cable, but it seems like we're just going back to the old model - except now it's harder to navigate and more expensive.

This is nuts and sad. Goes to show you how little these companies care to stop the #AI slop from being on their services youtu.be/QFwhKdr8LRo?...

Made a mistake this week that might have cost me a job. Decided to reflect on mistakes and how we handle them in this weeks newsletter. I share some advice on how to react to those mistakes, plus why your response to mistakes matters more than the mistakes themselves. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Here we go again. Another example of how corporate media prioritizes cost-cutting over accuracy. The Sun-Times recently cut its staff by 20% through buyouts. Now they're publishing AI-generated fake book lists. 💙📚 www.npr.org/2025/05/20/n... #AI #news

#YouTube made $9 billion last quarter but won't tell creators how much becomes profit. This isn't just corporate secrecy—it's about power and control in the creator economy. My new article examines why this matters for all digital creators: medium.com/write-your-w...

Saw Underworld last night at the Kings Theater in Brooklyn. The closest vibes I’ve ever gotten to 90s State Palace Theater. Their music was some of the music that got me into electronic music so it was so nice to see them live. Old man rave vibes for sure. www.instagram.com/reel/DJuBrxk...

Warner Bros. Discovery just admitted their $43 billion mistake. The #HBO Max → Max → HBO Max saga isn't just embarrassing—it's a masterclass in destroying brand equity. Thread on what TV execs keep getting wrong... 🧵
