DJ Hadoken 7 “The A.I. Prophet” has this to say:
The Italodisco music is playing. A different mix from previous years, but Italodisco nonetheless. Yes, it’s that time of year again. Or should I say, time of NEW year again?
Forgive my attempt at a LAMESTER joke. 2025 turned out to be much more hectic than I anticipated. I wasn’t able to update this blog as often as I would have liked to. There are actually about 5 posts that I started to draft but... never finished.
Reason? Let’s just say, CORPORATE SLAVERY. Wake up early. Finish work late. Shower. Eat. Sleep for 3 to 4 hours. Repeat.
Unfortunately, the bills MUST be paid. Therefore, the blog and my other endeavors fall behind. Don’t worry. I’m doing what I can to improve the circumstances.
And actually, there’s another reason. I’ve been learning the PROPER way to mix and master music. Believe it or not, despite there being a DJ in my name, I’m not an actual DJ (or professional musician, for that matter). I am the seventh incarnation of the RIA DJ known as DJ Hadoken. That’s why there’s a DJ in my name. Now you know (if you didn’t already).
During late Summer and Autumn, I did INDEED have some time to spare. Outside of the time I spent creating the Jurassic World 4: Rebirth ULTRA 4DX review, I was learning about music production. I’ll be the FIRST to admit, there were several weekends during that period that I could have updated the blog. But I prioritized learning about music production, instead.
Once the CORPORATE SLAVERY situation has improved, I’m hoping the music production learnings I’ve been gotting going on will CIRCLE BACK to this blog.
I still HAVE A LOT TO LEARN. Currently, I’d say I’m more adept at fake paleontology than I am at making music. But HOPEFULLY I’ll be able to rectify that in the future. If things proceed as planned, my music career will be even more successful than my career in fake paleontology has turned out to be. Considering that I’ve already earned a doctorate and have also published a master’s thesis in fake paleontology, that’s saying A LOT.
In 2025, I’m glad that I was able to post the Jurassic World Burgers Trilogy and Jurassic World Rebirth reviews. These were very symbolic posts, considering that 2025 was the year of the “little dragon” A.K.A. Little Spinosaurus. And with 2024 being the year of the “dragon”, A.K.A. THE YEAR OF SPINOSAURUS, these reviews were a good way to top off two years worth of SPINOSAURUS CONTENT.
2026 is the year of the FIRE HORSE. Apparently, this is a once in 60 years event. It’s supposed to symbolize optimism, opportunity, and economic growth. Applying that to RIAfunk, I suppose, signifies that it’s finally time to transition from primarily Spinosaurus content and get BACK TO BUSINESS.
Okay, okay. I want to ASSURE everyone that, despite what I wrote in the previous paragraph, I WILL continue to provide Spinosaurus joke related content on this blog. Rest assured, SPINOSAURUS JOKE AFICIONADOS. Even in 2026, it is UNDENIABLE that Spinosaurus jokes WILL CONTINUE to be the most popular topic on this blog. The YEARS of BLOOD, SWEAT, AND ANTICS my predecessors put into RIAfunk are INSIGNIFICANT when compared to the demand for SPINOSAURUS JOKES.
If only I had some sort of a TIME MACHINE. I would use it to travel back in time and advise my predecessors to excel at telling SPINOSAURUS JOKES and nothing else. Imagine how many Spinosaurus jokes could have been told until now. IMAGINE!
Hey, to prove that I’m SERIOUS...
CHECK THIS ONE OUT!
Q. What do you call a time traveling Spinosaurus?
Steven Spielberg’s inspiration for
Jurassic Park III.
Yeah. You know you like that.
Back in 2024, I proclaimed that Spinosaurus would be the official mascot of this blog. And in 2025, I even revealed that we are raising our very own juvenile Spinosaurus that enjoys eating slimy bananas (the same one featured in my Stomp and Gobble rap lyrics). So, even though there are no reptile-themed years for a while, Spinosaurus WILL CONTINUE to play a central role in this blog, STOMPING FORWARD.
Anyway, last year, I mentioned that in 2025 it looked like I’d be able to work on new stuff and revive the older posts a little more “strategically”. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to advance much in that regard. Hopefully, all the stuff that I intended on accomplishing in 2025, I’ll be able to accomplish in 2026. I’ve been itching to write the next chapter of TCOTWAME. And some more movie reviews. And FINALLY get the forum up and running. Let’s see what 2026 has in store.

now back to the blog...
There’s already a large backlog of things TO DO that are RIAfunk-related. I’m not going to start creating A.I. SLOP just because everybody else is doing it. Plus, the A.I. SLOP is still in murky copyright limbo and once you’ve experienced enough of that SLOP, you start to notice how all that SLOP appears eerily similar.
For the time being, I think that good old-fashioned PENMANSHIP will be the most efficient way to work through the backlog of RIAfunk content. Hey, RIAfunk might not be worldwide famous and it may be in a seemingly perpetual state of UNDER CONSTRUCTION, but it “survived” the rise and fall of Twitter. This era of A.I. SLOP is just A.I.n’t NO THING.
And in my opinion, this may be leading up to a societal REORGANIZATION. If you’re old enough to remember, there was a time when being ANTI-SOCIAL was COOL. There was a clear line between the domains of POPULAR KIDS and ANTI-SOCIAL KIDS. I’d say, from the late 2000’s onward that line has become very murky, blurry, or disappeared entirely. However, I believe that eventually, the POPULAR KIDS will gravitate towards platforms that cater specifically to their interests (run of the mill SNS sites, A.I. SLOP sites, etc–pick your poison) and the ANTI-SOCIAL KIDS will gravitate towards platforms that cater to what they’ve always liked: things that make them THINK.
Currently, all of the POPULAR KIDS and ANTI-SOCIAL KIDS are occupying the SAME platforms. It’s like a mandatory pep rally being held inside of a school auditorium. It’s all a mess. Eventually, I believe, this will be naturally sorted out and we’ll be back in a social dynamic similar to what we had up until the early 2000’s. Except with vastly more powerful and accessible technology and knowledge at our fingertips.
I’ll leave you with another prediction. Since we know A.I. is slurping all the text it can find off the internet to TRAIN ITSELF, don’t you think that people like us, who prefer HUMAN writing, will start to write in more and more BIZARRO ways? To stay ONE STEP AHEAD of the A.I. machine?
Yeah, watch whatever dialect you speak change faster than ever to stay ahead of the A.I. machine. Or, how about we start writing blog posts in some sort of a secret code or cipher and sell analog decoders (like people did in the early 1900’s) so that only humans can understand the posts?
YOU HEARD THE IDEA HERE FIRST ON RIAFUNK!
Happy New Year 2026!!!!!!
MOTHER####ERS!!!!!!
