Show me what you you can do with just a pen! I actually LOVE doing B&W ink art but it doesn't perform well so I can't spare time for it very often 🥲 #art #inks

Joyeux Noël groupe!!

I really sympathize with the people who were afraid to leave twitter, it's hard to give up something that you've worked so hard to build. I hope you guys can find a community here tho, it's nice and peaceful

Have yourself an Ambigramic Christmas

Last year, this is what the UI looked like a week in to starting. It didn't even DO ANYTHING. Just opened when I hit a button. The stuff behind it is a png. Bit by bit, I built on it over the last year into what you're seeing now. Just start. That's the hardest part. The second is continuing.

reference sheet for tonight 🎅🥊

Count good things~

this xmas eve let us celebrate with this carol i found that's like if someone really wanted figgy pudding to have its own villain song youtu.be/BvpafsXgTIk?...

PARASITE EVE - first emergence of Eve at Carnegie Hall, December 24 1997...

Every artist, get more self indulgent NOW! Draw your ships kissing, draw your blorbos, draw that idea you’ve been putting off (you’re good enough to do it!!!), redraw that old art, draw yourself wearing a cool outfit, draw a better world- just draw!!!

Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution.

Local tyrannosaurus is dressed for Christmas.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

As much as I hate genAI slop I still think I hate ad pollution like 3% more

What I've come to name anti-human game design.

We thought robot brains would be cold and calculating and laser focused, but no! When the machines come to take you away just stand in the shower with a scrubbing brush and say "Do you MIND?", and they will apologise and leave.

"users quickly bypassed the AI's safeguards by prompting it to roleplay as"- ok so what I'm hearing again and again, is they've built a dumb guy in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. You just gotta run back into frame in a wedding dress and now the AI thinks you're getting married. Robots are now all Elmer Fudd

Solstice intensifies

My heart belongs to the truncated cuboctahedron, but the regular rhombicuboctahedron is what I like building in Minecraft. :)

Happy Solstice!! 🌙✨🐇

You may think public libraries have some calculated, objective system for what they acquire... No. If your library has a decent manga section, it's only because of 1 to 2 people who 'know' manga, and their boss asks them what to get. Some rando can radically change the vibe of a library collection

shortest day today, it all gets lighter from here 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This is the pattern with the Cookie's Bustle troll. They abuse free/cheap legal resources to make spurious takedowns, and then never follow up, because they have no legitimate claim. If you push back even a grain of sand, you will never hear from them again

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

i laughed at a tree (???) i saw that literally looked exactly like this and my friend accused me of sounding like charlie brown's dickhead friends who make fun of his pathetic christmas tree

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

careful stride and faraway songs

Doujin games, garage devs, and solo shareware development have all existed for decades before “indie game” was even a term

New pet peeve is artists not getting cartoony vs realistic detail slider right and things looking off for subtle but apparent reasons of proportion and anatomy clashing w the realism gradient; most particularly noticeable at the sternocleidomastoid muscle in ways that would be soothed w less detail.

Before becoming a niche internet micro celebrity, I was a very online person. Like SO online. So online the FBI has shown up to my house. That being said, it’s wild how little I can relate to people who are too online these days. Like, in my prime, I dedicated so little time to being a hater.

Gadget and the boys are a bit late decorating for the holidays, but they've got the spirit and wanted to share it with you. Merry Christmas from the Rescue Rangers!

The not-AI browser; I'm switching away from Firefox for this. vivaldi.com

Firefox has decided to become an 'AI Browser'. Meanwhile, the sane alternative:

I follow this artist who makes a lot of gorgeous styrofoam creations for kids' birthday parties. I love that he explains his processes, often using accessible materials. Here he is explaining how to make a projector using just your phone and an empty soda bottle. www.instagram.com/reel/DSV3z1S...

“Very often the test of one's allegiance to a cause or to a people is precisely the willingness to stay the course when things are boring, to run the risk of repeating an old argument just one more time, or of going one more round with a hostile or (much worse) indifferent audience.” ~C. Hitchens
