Just learned that #CunkOnEarth is created by the makers of #BlackMirror which delights me and also seems to make wonderful sense.
If you dont know its Ali G meets David Attenborough.
By the way, back in 2018 or so I wrote/recorded this song called #ArtificialIntelligence as a precursor to this wave we're now entering. It feature Ryan Brown-Drums (Dweezil Zappa band), Carmine Rojas (Bowie, Bonnamasa) on bass. We shot it using Kinects in downtown LA, my VFX friend Audri Phillips did cool vector based vid stuff on it w #Notch.
Oh Alex Lifeson from RUSH plays the cool reverse guitar outro.
I hope you dig it.
Was just doing research for a book I #amwriting and discovered that in the U.S., over 1600 #books were banned in school libraries in 2022 -- as compared to just 175 being "challenged" in 2015 (books that are challenged are rarely banned, according to the American Library Association, so the numbers of banned books that year were much lower).
In 2022, 41% of books were banned for LBGT content. 40% had BIPOC characters.
