Not to take away from the anti-ai commentary because it was honestly one of my favorite things about the dlc, but I think that the fact that when they tried to replicate Alan's writing with an actual human being and that also failed, it speaks volumes of how grossly wrong the FBC and the Marmonts are in their understanding of what Art is. You can admire someone else's art, be inspired by it, take aspects of it and incorporate into your own art with your own artistic touch, but when you start looking at art and think I want to do that exact same thing, in the exact same way, without putting anything of your own self into it, that's when you seize to be an artist. You're just a glorified copy machine at that point.

That is exactly what they wanted Ed to be, a copy machine. But Ed, being a true artist at heart, did not become a copy machine. Through his idle dialogue, you can clearly hear how much he actually admires Alan's writing (even if he doesn't know what it is), how he starts forming his own interpretations of it and meanings behind it, meanings that make sense to him specifically, and THEN he starts incorporating it into his own writing. Alan's writing inspired him, breaking him out of his own writer's block, but it was never his intention to imitate or copy Alan.

Of course, Diana hated that. This is not what she wanted, this is not what she was promised. And it really shows you not just how cruel she is as a person, but also how fucking stupid she is despite being a scientist, that her one big idea to redirect Ed into the "right" artistic direction was to introduce abuse and violence into the equation.

from time to time i think back to the bookers like... a (true) crime writer married to a financially struggling artist, sounds familiar? theres a clear parallelism there with alan and alice, its such a shame that they kinda appeared at the start, you get one or two manuscript pages about them, you get to hear their inspiration in the dark place's echoes, and then...? they're gone? what HAPPENED to them? didn't ed get like kidnapped or something? did he die?? i kinda wanna hold on hope that they'll appear in a future remedy game 😔

Rowaida Abdelaziz at HuffPost:

A group of Democratic senators led by Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sent a letter Tuesday night to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to shut down four private detention centers. The letter, first reviewed by HuffPost and signed by Sens. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), targets facilities in New Mexico, California, Louisiana and Virginia. All of the facilities have faced serious complaints over treatment of detainees. Contracts for two of those facilities are up for renewal this week.

“We do not support a system that detains people in inhumane conditions that result in long-term medical issues, psychological trauma, and sometimes death. We urge that these facilities be shut down, in a step towards building an immigration system that welcomes and respects migrants,” read the letter. The letter, addressed to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Patrick Lechleitner, the acting director of ICE, also demands immigration officials to hand over a list of all public and private ICE detention facilities as well as a timeline for ending contracts at those four facilities. “After reports of inhumane conditions, including sleep deprivation, dirty drinking water, and psychological trauma, independent watchdogs and other experts have recommended that the Biden administration close the worst of these facilities,” Warren said. “This would be a meaningful step toward ending the federal government’s reliance on private detention centers.”

10 Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), sent a letter calling for the closing of the inhumane ICE detention centers. It's also why ICE should be abolished.

Ed Booker! I would say "yay he's all right" but given the circumstances that might not last long.

Uhhh, way to be super creepy with what you are doing there doctors Mormont, what with that whole elaborate lie they've told him about where he is.

Ever noticed how the scream from the Ear Booker Productions logo sounds a lot like Rolf's english voice?

It really doesn't, but thank you for the assassination attempt.
