Remember when Jodie Whitaker regenerated into David Tenant and rather than wearing the previous doctors clothes like every single new who doctor before him he magically regenerated with his own fuckass suit because rtd said her outfit which was specifically designed to be androgynous was too feminine for David Tenant to wear and it would look silly. It was all over from that moment. Like it was over. The fact that she even regenerated into David Tenant in the first place was bad enough. Anyway.

When the country doesn’t have easily accessible public libraries, piracy is sometimes the only option. They’ve been collaborating with the police to arrest poor street vendors and small book shop owners. Evil, just evil

I think there’s a really odd gap in general supply chain knowledge in which people scapegoat AI as this new devastating environmental concern, when internet data centers have been an environmental problem before that. The internet already had the infrastructure to support it in 2017, before GPT-1 was released. Data centers are not a new problem. The internet already had a large physical presence, but people didn’t really think much of it until there were new AI-related developments (and then attribute all data centers to being related to generative AI? Where do people think YouTube videos are stored? The literal clouds in the sky?)

A Makeship plushie has a bigger carbon footprint than a thousand LLM queries but it is seen as an acceptable environmental impact, because it has been deemed socially acceptable to contract low wage factories in the Global South to make toys to sell to customers worldwide at a 3000% markup, with all the profits staying in the Global North. Not many people think of that environmental impact

Many places have a "forest that shouldn't be entered." Even people who are used to working in the mountains feel there is something there. They are suddenly overcome with fear and it becomes the custom to avoid certain places. These places exist. I don't know what is there, but I think they are real . . . The world is more than we can fathom with our five senses. The world doesn't exist just for humans. So I think it is all right to have such things. This is why I think it's a mistake to think about nature from the idea of efficiency, that forests should be preserved because they are essential for human beings . . . I am concerned, because for me the deep forest is connected in some way to the darkness deep in my heart. I feel that if it is erased, then the darkness inside my heart would also disappear, and my existence would grow shallow.

Anna Karenina (oil on canvas, 80x80 cm, 2024), from Yakov Khomich’s series “A murder at the Sylvanian house”

Stories from the world of children's toys — where not only personal dramas but also the emotions of others are projected—offer us a way to view life’s situations through the prism of a childlike universe. We see how the innocent appearance of toys becomes a mirror for complex human emotions.

Yakov admits that the narratives emerged organically, flowing from one to the next during the process. At first glance, they may seem unrelated, but together they form a cohesive vision of the Sylvanian world—a metaphor for a child’s consciousness, where very grown-up stories unfold.

He uses multi-panel compositions to convey a single idea: “The idea isn’t new, but I wanted to create something like it. In my case, each piece stands on its own, but together—with the characters’ stories and destinies—they form one large picture of this toy world. It’s my attempt to create a Sylvanian saga, where childlike imagination intersects with adult reality.”
