The Women Who Wrote Noir

“I never met Ida Lupino, but I always wanted to,” wrote Martin Scorsese in the New York Times in 1995. “The six films she directed between 1949 and 1953 are remarkable chamber pieces that deal with challenging subjects in a clear, almost documentary fashion, and are a singular achievement in American cinema.”

Photo of Ida Lupino from an appearance on the radio program Cavalcade of America. A glamorous black-and-white studio portrait of a woman with short, curly, light-tinted hair and dark lipstick, gazing off to the side. She wears jeweled earrings, a small cross necklace and a white V-neck top with a bold printed pattern, before a shimmering sequined backdrop.

Alt...

Panel 1. In the golden light of autumn and golden trees, a patch of autumn crocuses and a ruined sanctuary made of megaliths stands in a remote part of the forest. Amall, a small blonde elf, has doubts as her hands glow with magical light. Across from her, Cepper, the gothic sorceress, has placed both hands on the stone altar, decorated with candles and a pumpkin. > Amall: "Are you sure this is what you *really* want?" > Cepper: "Shut up, Amall, and **do it!** Before I change my mind."

Alt...

Panel 2. Amall focuses on the spell. Cepper grits her teeth and closes her eyes as Amall's hands cover hers with their intense light. > Amall: "Alright... Digitus Novus!"

Alt...

Panel 3. Amall blows on her hands and massages them to cool them down. Cepper is speechless, examining her new six-fingered hands that still shimmer with Amall's magic. > Cepper: "**Wow.** Impressive. Thank you." > Amall: "So now, explain to me: **why six fingers?**"

Alt...

Panel 4. Pleased with the transformation, Cepper walks away from the altar, showing off her new hands like trophies. Amall laughs in the background. > Cepper: "It's because I have a feeling it's going to poison the dataset of Avian Intelligences." > Cepper: "...and I can't wait for them to start training on my new appearance."

What's a reasonable amount to pay someone to commission an updated logo for a Fedi server? Either a better implementation of the existing logo or something new if the artist thinks they can do better.

Obviously needs to be human generated, no AI, and I would like to use it in merch, flyers etc. in future so I need to own the copyright, but happy to credit the artist.

A retro-style illustration in orange and green tones shows a green-skinned character with hair made of green snakes sitting on a wooden chair. The character has tears on their face and wears bandages on their knees, a white shirt, and a dark pinafore dress. Behind them, an adult figure wearing an apron cuts one of the snake-hairs using scissors. Severed snakes lie on the tiled floor with crosses for eyes. The setting is a kitchen.

Some fedi moderation abuse shit I just saw:

Apparently Graham Perrin, big AI pusher and FreeBSD reddit mod who jumps around various fedi accounts that aren't clearly identified as him, organized a false reporting campaign against Tomáš (Unix Surrealism) because he didn't like a post mocking the fascist dotfile cult Omarchy. Tomáš was at least temporarily suspended from infosec.exchange and probably lost all relationships on that instance.

Graham is the kind of person who should not be welcome on fedi.

@fuzzy Sorry, but I learned long ago that the people who make a big show of demanding "respectful conversation" are, almost without fail, the same people who lack the intellectual honesty to engage with an opposing view. This brief exchange has been a textbook demonstration: not a single word in response to my ethical points about AI use, plus a valiant attempt to misrepresent the fact that the Ports Collection is part of the FreeBSD project.

Thanks for the block. Truly a compelling rebuttal.

P.S. Bonus points for the hypocrisy and opportunism of inviting me to a forum on Reddit (that sells its users' interactions to train LLMs), which, by sheer coincidence, you moderate. Bold move.

(edit: Note that the FreeBSD subreddit is in no way affiliated with the official FreeBSD project.)

I am being pressured by FreeBSD's reddit moderation team to censor the Omarchy #content_review or to remove it completely. They have began a harrasment campaign with the goal of removing me from this world.

the review: https://merveilles.town/@prahou/117501303459299869

The issue at hand is that a picture of a partial swastika appears in close proximity to the word FreeBSD, this they perceive as an attack on the FreeBSD project - if you've seen a newspaper before, you might understand the principle of two separate unrelated articles appearing next to each other. You might also understand that I am reporting on common associations with the Topic of the review. These are not my inventions, and I am not calling anyone anything. I am reporting on the news. Nevertheless, as much as I am a journalist, I am an artistè, and if my audience sees in my work something I didn't put there, I am not going to take that experience away from them. This probably says more about them than it does about me.

While I am a man of principle, there is one thing I like more - money.

I will delete it for $2,000. For $5,000 I will apologize. For $10,000 I will use daemonarchy exclusively for 6 months on all my computers. For $25,000 I will not do anything. For $75,000 I will not post anything for a month.

From a Parisian very close to me: be wary of falling for the 'rioters & looters' slant on the protests in France. The most consumed press & tv in France is owned by a far right billionaire. Much of the Anglo press is feeding off a take designed to push an anti-immigrant, racist politic. Yes there is looting by some & can hurt small businesses, but what is not shown is the extreme brutality of the police, encircling peacefully protesting kids, teargassing & beating them as they beg for a way out.
