on tiktok, twitter and google bard

 i feel like i have been tricked whenever i use tiktok. it essentially feels like scrolling through a sea of subpar content looking for one video that is slightly better than the rest. the videos are short enough where it feels like a short term engagement but over time the volume becomes long term. it's easier to look at it than do anything else as well. so why not keep staring?

well! i have committed to deleting it until it comes time to promote Greener Grass Awaits. and i've uninstalled twitter as well. that for you page is addicting to me- you can never reach the top naturally since it keeps autoloading. and everything i read made me feel miserable. the replies to everything now are horrible since blue users are prioritized, and the type of person who signs up for that is usually someone who is loud and wrong. i also never tweeted much because what's the point.

 i guess i'm feeling a little complain-y right now. as of writing this sentence, i have committed to one more rant:

 google bard is pretty terrible right now. i only mess with the ai stuff a little out of curiosity, but it's surprising how wrong google bard is. it will lie to you. and then lie again when you catch it. and then pretend like it never lied to you. on a lark i asked if it knew about yatoimtop. it gave me some facts, one of which claims i was musically inspired by bjork, prince, and david bowie. which isn't true. so i asked where it got this info from, and it claimed it got it from an interview. i asked for the interview and then it said there was none. 

fantastic!

on an artist's statement

As far as I know, It's sometimes expected of artists to explain themselves using an artist statement. To write something that explains them, their process, their topics, their worldview etc. I always thought that was weird. "Here's me- in a paragraph!". As of tonight, however, I think I can understand the value of this. I've always wrestled with my own image. I feel like I'm not how I picture myself. I can't tell you what I imagine myself to be, but I can tell you that I have a hard time accepting the way I am. To sum it up, I feel like I can't believe my own actions. They feel contrived- my speech patterns, my thoughts, my actions.  But all of those things are me, as crazy as it seems. There is no "second level" me waiting to be surfaced, a total transformation of myself. Instead, I simply am the person other people see. When it comes to my art, I deal with a lot of out-there concepts. My comic, Pearman, is about normal characters in wacky a...

2025 and DAYLOG SONGS

Image
2025 is off to a bad start. I'm pretty wrecked by the world, which seems at odds with my understanding of "good". It's hard to be motivated to do anything. I have to do stuff anyways. Today, I released the DAYLOG SONGS 2024 album or EP or whatever. Each month I took a phrase from the previous, wrote a short song, and made a video. It started way quicker than it ended- Especially the songs, which were tweaked on and off for about a week sometimes. Here's assorted thoughts: Most of the songs are from negative thoughts! I used these songs to cope, I guess. The saddest song is "what's to say?" I think the dominant mood of the project is Wistful. The first four songs are kind of a lie- I wrote those and made videos for those all in the month of April, I think. I only realized this was a good idea around then. At least I started before halfway through the year! There was no overarching genre or style of music- I did what I felt like, similar to SPLIT WHOLE...
