My statement regarding the AI generated George Carlin special: My dad spent a lifetime perfecting his craft from his very human life, brain and imagination. No machine will ever replace his genius. These AI generated products are clever attempts at trying to recreate a mind…1/3

Yeah, we all know how much my dad loved rich white men.
You guys don't get it. If George Carlin were alive today he'd also invite a billionaire emerald mine heir on stage to try to do PR work for him before calling his audience poor for booing. It's comedy. Look it up.

Ten years.
Missed by millions.
Missed more by his loved ones.
What he taught through his actions:
Do your work.
Speak your truth.
Be generous to those with less resources.
Speak out for those with less power.
Take everyone's ego to task.

Losing a parent is a profound event. Unimaginable on some levels. And yet we find a way to start life anew building on the foundation of the myriad ways in which they shaped us. After 11 years, I feel like I’m finally coming to terms with my father’s death.
I miss you, papa.

I’m worried about his legacy. His reputation. His art. I’m allowed to do that as his daughter and while I’m alive. It’s important that these corporations don’t rape & pillage art. Don’t assume you understand who I am and what values I live by.

Grief is so weird. It’s been 16 yrs since my dad died & I just cried in the Vons parking lot b/c I’ll never get to talk w/ him about how to handle artistic ambition so it lead you astray. I miss Shandling too. He’d have a ton to say about it too.

FYI - he hated the politicians who favored profit/property over people.
He loathed Trump. He stood for EVERYTHING my father railed against. He saw democracy as a failed experiment due to their greed.
Wow!!! I love George Carlin. This from the grave may be his most important and timeless rant ever.

When I was 10, my dad pointed to his vinyl collection & said to me, “This is not my collection. It is yours.” About 10 years before he died, he gave it to me. It’s the most treasured things I own from him. When people come to my house, it’s the 1st thing they want to see.
The vinyl record industry is a tiny shadow of what it once was. LPs and 45s are NOT disposable single use plastics. I have records that were made by Edison’s company that still play. Everyone complaining about vinyl records from an environmental perspective are doing so with
