In case you missed it, Mastodon treasure @hildabast has published a great article describing the current situation with Mastodon and #Bluesky and the relative merits of each.
What is particularly nice about this detailed essay is the conservative and learned approach she takes, and the honesty with which she recognizes deficiencies in both platforms. She also addresses how Mastodon's recent developments in usability are changing this equation.
Great job Hilda!

Perplexed by all this, I reached out to Cuomoโs campaign for an explanation. I wanted a response to the ad and to get his thoughts on AI-generated political content. More importantly, I needed to know their opinion on the pregnancy. โDoes that bill look pregnant to you?โ I asked. โI think it looks pregnant, but my editors are split. I would love for the Campaign to weigh in.โ Out of journalist due diligence, I also reached out to Mamdaniโs press office. Neither campaign has responded to my request for it to weigh in on the pregnancy of the AI-generated cartoon bill.
Andrew Cuomo Uses AI MPREG Schoolhouse Rock Bill to Attack Mamdani, Is Out of Ideas
I am haunted by a pregnant bill in Andrew Cuomoโs new AI-generated attack ad against Zohran Mamdani.Cuomo posted the ad on his X account that riffed on the famous Schoolhouse Rock! song โIโm just a bill.โ In Cuomoโs AI-generated cartoon nightmare, Zohran Mamdani lights money on fire while a phone bearing the ChatGPT logo explains, apparently, that Mamdani is not qualified.
The ad bears all the hallmarks of the sloppiest of AI trash: weird artifacting, strange voices that donโt sync with the mouths talking, and inconsistent animation. It feels both surreal and of the moment and completely ancient.
๐ถโIโm Just A Shillโ (FT. Zohran) pic.twitter.com/ga3JxnYO7B
โ Andrew Cuomo (@andrewcuomo) October 30, 2025
And then thereโs the pregnant bill.The Schoolhouse Rock! Bill is an iconic cartoon character that has been parodied by everyone from The Simpsons to Saturday Night Live. There are thousands, perhaps millions, of pictures of the cartoon bill online, all available to be gobbled up by scrapers and turned into training data for AI.
For some reason, the bill in Cuomoโs ad has thick red lips (notably absent in the original) and appears to be pregnant. Adding to the discordant AI jank of the image, the pregnancy is only visible when the bill is standing up. Sometimes itโs leaning against the steps and in those shots it has the slim figure characteristic of its inspiration. But when the bill stands it looks positively inflated, almost as if the video generator used to make Cuomoโs ad was trained on MPREG fetish art of the bill and not the original cartoon itself. The thick and luscious red lips are present whether the bill is leaning or standing.
Towards the end of the ad, an anthropomorphic phone with a ChatGPT logo wanders into the scene. Standing next to the pregnant bill, I could not but help but think that the phone is the father of whatever child the bill carried.
My observation led to an argument in the 404 Media Slack channel and opinions were split. โIt does not seem pregnant to me,โ said Emanuel Maiberg.
Jason Koebler, however, came to my defense. He circled the pregnant belly of the cartoon bill and shared it. โBaby is stored in the circle area,โ he said.Perplexed by all this, I reached out to Cuomoโs campaign for an explanation. I wanted a response to the ad and to get his thoughts on AI-generated political content. More importantly, I needed to know their opinion on the pregnancy. โDoes that bill look pregnant to you?โ I asked. โI think it looks pregnant, but my editors are split. I would love for the Campaign to weigh in.โ Out of journalist due diligence, I also reached out to Mamdaniโs press office. Neither campaign has responded to my request for it to weigh in on the pregnancy of the AI-generated cartoon bill.
This is not the first time the Cuomo campaign has used AI. An ad in early October featured a deepfaked Cuomo working as a train operator, stock trader, and a stagehand. A week ago, the Cuomo campaign released a long, racist video depicting criminals endorsing Mamdani. Critics called the ad racist. The campaign deleted it shortly after it was posted and blamed the whole thing on a junior staffer.
It is worth noting that Cuomo's AI slop is being deployed most likely because the candidate has been utterly incapable of generating any authentic excitement about his campaign in New York City or on the internet, and he is facing a digitally native, younger candidate who just seems effortlessly Good At the Internet and Posting.
This is, unfortunately, how a lot of politics works in 2025. Desperate campaigns and desperate presidents are in a slop-fueled arms race to make the most ridiculous possible ads and social media content. It looks cheap, is cheap, and is the realm of politicians who are totally out of ideas, but increasingly it feels like slop is the dominant aesthetic of our time.

Sensitive content
I finished #TheWarOfTheWorlds last night. A good story and written in a very familiar manner for my sensibilities. What struck me was how familiar the geography described was, i.e. the boroughs of #London, particularly of the west and south west, with which I was familiar when i was at #ImperialCollege, which incidentally was also where Wells went too (although it was not called that then).
I also dusted off my #CD of #JeffWayne's musical version of the book and listened to it recently. It occurred to me how strange it was to pick 19th century work of #fiction for a #RockOpera. But, then again, why not? Great voice performance by #RichardBurton and contributions by musicians #DavidEssex and #PhilLynott, among others.

Window shutters (if they exist at all) in the US are often non functional and decorative. But shutters are really useful!
The ones on our Airbnb in Roma were clearly regularly used - moved easily, no more dirty than Iโd expect. People next door clearly opened and closed theirs each night as well.
So I was surprised when I reached out to close the ones in Firenze to block the morning light, only to discover that they were creaky, filthy, and almost no one nearby was using theirs either! ๐ค

Mutual Aid! [225/600]
Big news: I finally landed a job! Iโll be starting on November 1st, which means my first paycheck wonโt arrive until December. Until then, I have no other income -- the donations I receive here will be the only money I have to get by.
Iโve been scraping through ever since losing my last job two and a half months ago, and your support so far has genuinely kept me afloat. Youโve helped me make it this far -- and Iโm endlessly grateful.
Now I just need to hang on a little longer. The future is finally looking up, but right now I still need a bit of help to bridge the gap. If youโre able to chip in -- even a few euros or dollars -- it makes a huge difference.
Every boost and donation helps me stay safe, fed, and stable until that first paycheck comes through. Thank you all so much for your kindness and support. Genuinely. You're all THE BEST.
