That’s not how you hold a pencil. A decent education would have taught you that.

We are currently witnessing falling numbers in the primary phase

So there’s no population boom.

Most of this article is talking about a speculative boom that might happen and what that could mean.

Meanwhile all of the current problems are attributed to not enough staff and chronic underfunding.

What an awful shitty article posing as journalism.

Cool, if only there were some way of finding out what he said.

This is a classic mafia move. It will end with the mafia owning something that used to belong to someone else even though that person did not want to sell it.

Here’s that vague statement in full:

I bet you just say your own name.

Slowly, pronouncing every syllable like it is Skyrim and you are executing a shout.

The fun part of being an artist isn’t in having made something.

It’s a mistake non-arists often make.

The fun part is the exploration and the discovery. The willing of something new into existence. The learning and experiencing.

You make for yourself first, not an audience.

These techbros are not artists. That’s why they think you should just jump to the end product.

This is just like saying someone’s name to them during sex.

We could make great games, or we could spend our time crowbarring AI into places where it isn’t needed and no one wants it.

This is why we say fog in the theatre.

Fog is fine. Smoke is a situation.

I wouldn’t turn it upside down, North is still North.

But below the border it would just say, “here be fuds”.
