Insanely GenerativeWe’re Not Designing Screens Anymore—It’s About TimeIn this episode, we leave behind the rectangle. What starts as a confession about pixel perfection turns into a rallying cry for designers ready to escape static screens and step into the flow of real-time, adaptive experience. From the quiet death of wireframes to the rise of responsive, AI-powered design, we explore how timing, empathy, and imagination—not layout—will define the next generation of product design. If you’ve ever felt like Figma isn’t the whole story, you’re not lost—you’re early. Get full access to The Generative Gazette at generativegazette.substack.com/subscribe2025-04-1214 min
Insanely GenerativeWe are that generation now.Will the Supreme Court give the U.S. government the power to disappear people—legally?

And what disappears might not return. Get full access to The Generative Gazette at generativegazette.substack.com/subscribe2025-04-0907 min
Insanely GenerativeIt’s Not Theft, It’s The Engine of Creativity—and It’s Perfectly LegalWelcome to another episode where we dissect modern absurdities like greedy corporate rights holders dressing up as creativity’s last defenders. They’re shouting “theft!” at anyone using AI to riff on existing styles, hoping we’ll all clutch our pearls and beg them to save us. But imitation isn’t theft, it’s creativity’s engine, and it’s always been legal.Today, we’re diving into how powerful interests are hijacking our good intentions to protect artists, all to corral us into defending their monopolies. It’s not about preserving creativity. It’s about controlling it. And if we let them p...2025-04-0711 min

Insanely GenerativePattern Recognition Is Harder Than It Looks!The trouble started, as it often does, with a simple question: Can AI draw a piano? Not play one, or compose for one, or calculate its string tension based on humidity and smugness—just draw it. A straightforward line drawing, nothing fancy. Maybe even a baby grand with the lid up, if it was feeling confident.

Insanely GenerativeA Buttery, Sugary Dream of 1930s ParisIt is impossible to imagine Paris without its pastries. To try would be to strip the city of its morning mist, the clink of spoons against porcelain, the ink-smudged fingertips of poets leafing through damp newspapers at café terraces. To conjure a Paris without pastry is to envision an artist’s palette devoid of color—a silhouette of the city’s soul but none of its sensuous bloom. And yet, if one wished to know what it truly meant to taste a pastry, to understand its purpose beyond mere sustenance, one must travel backward, past the heavy buttered crust of cont...2025-03-0528 min

Insanely GenerativeNew American Bootlickers?There was a time, long ago, when Americans pretended to believe in things—freedom, democracy, justice, the idea that if some leering despot charged across a border with guns blazing, it was our solemn duty to stand in his way and give him a good thrashing. There was a time when this country, for all its hypocrisies, at least had the good manners to keep them partially concealed beneath a lace doily of moral justification.That time is gone.

Gobbledygeek517 - FCF: Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees (feat. Eric Sipple)Does a bear kill in the woods? That’s the question Patrick Horvath sets out to answer in his “Richard Scarry meets Dexter” opus Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, the subject of this year’s very first Four-Color Flashback. The 2024 IDW series takes place in an idyllic world of anthropomorphic animals where not all is as it seems–the local hardware store owner, Samantha Strong, has a nasty habit of heading out to the city and slaughtering random passersby. That is, until another serial killer comes to her small town of Woodbrook, threatening the life she has carefully maintained...2025-02-251h 41
Insanely GenerativeThe Fine Art of Letting Imbeciles Run the Government Like a Leaky SubredditFebruary 15, 2025It started, as these things always do, with great, thundering proclamations. The Department of Government Efficiency—DOGE, because of course it has a dumb meme name—was Elon Musk’s latest fever-dream of techno-autocracy, a grand experiment in proving that the best and brightest (meaning: easily manipulated Stanford dropouts with standing-desk-induced scoliosis) could run the government better than the stodgy, slow-moving, clipboard-carrying civil servants who had the audacity to demand things like oversight, security, and basic competence.“No more government bloat,” they said! “No more inefficient agencies!” Instead, we would get a streamli...2025-02-1613 min
Insanely GenerativeDeportation: The New Prison SystemFebruary 5, 2025Once upon a time, dear reader, the United States was known for exporting great things: automobiles, jazz, the personal computer, the concept of freedom—before we got bored with that one. But now, in what can only be described as a stroke of anti-genius, our illustrious leaders have devised a bold new export strategy: incarceration. The last vestiges of American justice have been packed up, stamped with a shipping label, and exported like so much industrial waste to a foreign depot. In a spectacle of bureaucratic cunning so insidious it could only have been de...2025-02-0612 min
Insanely GenerativeTrump’s Grand Theft GazaFebruary 5, 2025Donald Trump, that grandiloquent philosopher-king of the gaudy and grotesque, has once again graced the world stage with a proposal so magnificent in its crudeness, so imperial in its insipidity, that one wonders if he has finally transcended the realm of the absurd into some new, undiscovered territory of human folly.With all the subtlety of a carnival barker auctioning off swampland in Florida, the man who once wished to buy Greenland has now set his imperial sights on Gaza—war-torn, blood-soaked, and to his singularly refined sensibilities, a prime bit of beachfront real es...2025-02-0608 min

Into this sanctuary of solemn nodding and double-breasted civility, Donald J.

It was less a ceremony than a séance, a convocation of the spiritually dispossessed who believe they have seen salvation in the form of a spray-tanned real estate magnate.

The British Broadcasting Century with Paul Kerensa#090 The BBC's First Shakespeare (part 2) & John Henry: First Radio Comedy PersonalityIs this the first full-length Shakespeare on the BBC I see before me? Yes it is. And the first radio comedy personality, in John Henry.
We're in late May 1923 - 28th to 31st to be precise - and the BBC has suffering from a boycott of theatre producers. Performers are hard to come by, so the Beeb brings drama and comedy in-house.

This tale, dear friends, is not of Morro Rock alone, but of a curious cast, each more peculiar than the last, who found themselves entangled in a mystery as old as the rock itself. Our protagonist, a well-to-do gentleman with an unearned fortune from inventing a device that pu...2023-11-2405 min

Insanely GenerativeThe True Story of Leonard Bernstein, the ‘Turkey Trot,’ and MeIn that sweltering summer of 1981, there I was: a 16-year-old, self-declared prodigy from Greensboro, tumbling into Tanglewood with a suitcase as overstuffed as my aspirations—you know, the typical teenage cocktail of overconfidence and naiveté. My plan was to learn to compose. The reality? I became Leonard Bernstein’s entirely unasked-for conducting student.This crafty maneuver spun into a harebrained plot involving Bernstein’s newly composed ode to the Boston Symphony—inadvertently roping in my composition teacher, a gathering of supernaturally talented orchestra students, and the hallowed institution of classical music itself, setting the stage for a caper as a...2023-11-1621 min
