Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

“bsky is boring!” 1) good 2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment 3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it 4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands 5) read book 6) walk outside

I cannot stress this enough: this is not possible in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping

There honestly cannot be a satire cutting enough to make fun of Americans. What the fuck do you mean the highest colonial ideal you could imagine was a parking lot with McDonald's on both sides

Things are awful, so a little treat for the real Crush-Heads. It is now eleven years since I got this printed in the Metro.

Everything's very horrible right now, so I'm cheering myself up by rememberin that time the BBC put actress Roxanne Pallett in the least convincing prosthetics imaginable, so she could experience the world 'as a 90yr old'.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

I have a story about a personal injury BUT I have to tell it in person, after a few drinks. Otherwise, it's this one: bsky.app/profile/moon...

“why are you still on twitter” -> whiny, makes you sound like a scold “oh you post on the pedophile app” -> makes them sound like a pedophile

One hand on each of these

Over Xmas, Ed Zitron put up four bite-size episodes of his Better Offline podcast entitled “The Case Against Generative AI” and it’s a compelling listen if you enjoy hearing economic calamity rolling towards you in slow motion 1/2

"AI isn't going ANYWHERE! You better get USED to it!!" "The technology that lets you undress photos of real children?" "Y...yes"

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

In 2026: Generative AI is not inevitable. You can say no. You can refuse. You can reject the disgusting lukewarm slop that the richest and worst people in the world are trying to force-feed you. You can tell them to eat shit and die mad. You can break the machine

We need to kill everyone involved with AI immediately.

rest in peace, Mike one of the funniest dudes on SA and Twitter - but also an incredible craftsman I think about this post of his all the time

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

Character design is my passion

Lucy van Pelt has finally gone too far. But she will be brought to justice

When I was about 8, I cycled to our local newsagent to spend my pocket money on some Astro Belts. Russ Abbott was in there with his daughter & he bought her all of the Astro Belts they had left. I have NEVER forgiven him.

"FART PLANET"

Etched in the scheme of nature's own hand

I have had the exact same experience at animation/film festivals. One, extraordinarily rude, guy was incredulous that *I* could be friends with so many of his heroes... It was as though my imposter syndrome had taken the corporeal form of a frustrated, drunk 25 yr old.

This is GREAT. A perfect balance of a classic ghost story with modern fears. Really unsettling ❤️

What a Christmas treat!

It's a festive ode to the incredible work of @moonjam.com

If you ever need to print your work it will do you a world of good to understand DPI/LPI & how it ties to resolution. Similarly, understanding why CMYK "looks bad" compared to RGB. Learning about the difference between additive & subtractive colour mixing is important (& genuinely interesting!)

HEADS UP! Both of our award-winning indie games are on sale over the festive period... ❄️ Röki ☀️ Mythwrecked

Last-minute gig idea! A knock-off VHS that looks a bit like a classic Disney cartoon:
