There is more human-made #art out there than you could experience in a lifetime.

To suffer looking at AI slop instead is tragic, even before we consider the weighty ethical, environmental, or economic issues.

Support small creators and share things made by real humans.

Happy New Year!

"Was das neue Jahr wohl bringen mag?"

"Hmmm... lass es uns füllen mit Liebe, Frieden und positiver Energie!"

"What might the new year bring?"

"Hmmm... let's fill it with love, peace, and positive energy!"

Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.

No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.

This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.

So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.

I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

CURTIS MAYFIELD
Super Fly
1972 Canada pressing

Happy New Year’s Eve, everybody!
Might as well make the last waning hours of this foul year of our Lord 2025 extra FUNKY.

Touted as one of the few soundtracks to out-gross the film it accompanied, Mayfield’s third album is an all-time classic of all classics.

If your body or head doesn’t start bobbing, or your walk doesn’t start turning to a glide when the title track begins, then you are already dead inside, and there is no hope for you.

A very happy New year to all of you from me in Scotland. May 2026 bring great things to you. Lang may yer lum reek.
This is an oil pastel painting of Edinburgh Castle.
