i don't know, they declared victory immediately afterward with this, and i have to admit that i was impressed that someone actually photoshopped my real tweet in the crosshairs! these kids are good

Convert that into a NFT and sell it back to them

They'd probably lose their shit and pay your rent, actually.

lmao

i'd encourage on of you to do it, but first, please, plant four trees up for it

I get the feeling that these people might have been selling Amway in the days before crypto.

"So Karl, we were about to offer you this high paying job, however we ran a search and see that you were pwned by cryptodorks on Twitter. Have fun staying poor!"

even though we ain't got money

So what we want is to build a massive monument for this particular work of art which exists only in the virtual world. We have a wish list—a dream, so to speak, of some of the most prominent architects on the planet. We’d like to collaborate with them to design something that can exist only in this virtual space and then install this art in it and open it up to the world. The dream is to build the monument and, in two months’ time or so, share a link with you so that you—wherever you are in the world—at the click of a button, can experience the grandeur of this work.

This is going to be a billion-dollar piece someday. This has the potential to be the work of art of this generation. We are very happy to be part of history and we’re still digesting the fact that we are part of history.

the funniest bit is all the beeple crap is banksy-meets-digitalblasphemy, down to the fanbase

I finally looked at “beeple”s deviantart it’s uh

very much has an audience, but it’s funny how rote it all is

yeah, i definitely read that! it's just perfect. the people/person/company who bought it were themselves NFT advocates and investors, who surely knew that by setting a record-setting price it would drive more interest into NFTs, and drive up their own investments. the future of commerce, humanity, creativity, and the death of the Petrodollar, via hyperspeculation! because there was not enough speculatiojn

also, the "work of art of this generation", it's just like...a COLLAGE?! for this "generation"? lool

he got “weirder” in recent years if you think weird is figuring out what people on socials are memeing about and generating more crap based on it

figured out shrek memes several years late

very much has an audience, but it’s funny how rote it all is

it's corporate art. it's something he can crank out and brands know what they're getting. the bbc arts critic favorably compared him to andy warhol, in that regard. i disagree. the difference is that there are a million beeples

but also, look at this and wonder about what the point is

are there, though? I didn’t realize dude had sold concert visuals to a handful of music artists

the art and it’s message isn’t the medium, the reach is

why need a point when you get a paycheck

teal and orange, instantly appealing.

and divisions! and people who stand this way. of different sizes. all in a row. there is a hierarchy in this society, it is clear. and also a giant black orb with a circle on it

He’s fine? It looks like video game production work, but 35% less commercial.

that's true. it looks like a good bioshock level

Imagine if DC or Image had figured this shit out first, there would be a 90 million dollar spawn somewhere

honestly, give it 20 years, maybe you could fully inhabit these beeple creations as a videogame. it's already in a 3D space (either C4D or maya), with textures and 3D models and that shit. it's just a game that doesn't have any players. seems like it would be easy to hop into any of the characters in the one above and see what happens if you step out of line - with a flamethrower

i guess i did like this one, because it seemed to reveal something about them. i can't tell if the style of it is a parody of the kinds of paintings where jesus is helping a hockey player, or whatever, or not, but i guess that's good

since the blockchain is all about undoing the convenience and efficiency of already available technologies, perhaps they can add a sort of permanent damage tracked on a blockchain. So you can enter the 3D space and permanently torch it with a flamethrower. Or there could be random "acts of god" that destroy NFT art beyond repair.

Hey Panera, if you could take a break from making stale ass bread bowls for old white people and salt your sidewalk that’d be great. Almost cracked my skull coming in this morning.

nah

if you want to support my anti- NFT "art" mania, please like or retweet this:

Will you all be discussing hyperspeculation and how digital artists can accelerate it while also hopefully getting rich in the process?

there are a few very good artists on there, and people I've followed for a long time. they never gave a fuck about me, but i'm determined to register my discontent.

nothing is more annoying to me lately than the people who reply to Richard Nixon with "Sir". Give it up already.

It’s too early to say what led to the fatal shooting of Adam Toledo by Chicago police, but it’s also too soon to make him a cause celebre. It's never too early to stop pretending that 13-year-olds are inherently harmless, Eric Zorn writes. https://t.co/3NJqssG396

Made my quarterly tweet to tell this columnist that I hope his dick falls off and that he has diarrhea forever (carefully not wishing or threatening death upon him) and got a 12-hour ban.

also I hope he dies a miserable, long death and that his family rejoices when he's gone

jesus fuck i can't even

i think that before you are allowed to print that column you should be required to read it aloud in its entirety to the child's family in a small locked room

tribune media is such a garbage fire

What happens to Tronc???

this is real!

"Word up!" It is I, the Gray Lady, with a "shoutout" to all my hip young friends. Just wanted you to know I've added new specialized feeds.

"so, micro-blogging then" is one of the innocuous phrases from ilx that pops into my head the most often. so innocent

Is there a way to get it to stop suggesting topics to me? I'm really not liking this new "feature".

i don’t know but believe me i’ve looked! i thought notifications were sacred!!

it's not just notifications, they are now putting random Tweets in the timeline that relate to topics they think I might be interested in. I tried dismissing the topics, but that has led them to suggest more and more irrelevant topics instead.

Yep, that has been my experience. Dismissing those suggested topics just sort of fires up some sort of, "welp, then I don't know what the fuck you like so I'm going to just throw everything at you" response.

I feel like if I dismiss enough of them they will eventually just run out of topics

I think if you mute the phrase " suggest_activity_tweet " and/or " suggest_recycled_tweet_inline " that helps to remove most of the trash notifications you are referring to.
