Day12

They’re back!!

RPG Kitty, now in color

Discovered a CD digging through the ancient stack of them on my shelf and on that CD I found: a disco version of "My Bonnie (Lies Over the Ocean)" arranged for synthesizer and accordion.

I agree that this is a reason people act mad. But it's also an inaccurate analogy created and promoted by wannabe-dictators because betrayal is an emotional override switch for humans.

living in the 2020’s

I don't actually expect Schumer to do anything legislative, since Ds have few levers for that. But it would be nice if he didn't spend his airtime exclusively on measured caution. (Though I read "that far" as 2027, not impeachment—overall he's refusing to comment on post-next-election Dem actions.)

I had a dream last night that I won a shirt in some contest and the shirt was just an all-over print of this

Are aphantasic people harder to hypnotize? 🤔

My local furcon is going on right now and I am not there partly because it is going on right now.

Wolf Link ‧˚✩

Congratulations on successfully passing by Janus.

😑

I successfully got into the show without having to install their curséd app by clicking the browser option to claim my phone actually a desktop. 🎉

Saw Wake Up Dead Man. Pretty good! Though I think it's the weakest of the three so far, not even counting that the writers apparently have no idea how a US Catholic church works. 😅

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

So the Seattle airport has a mascot apparently...

Made a comic about talking with gay guys about gay guys

THE BLOOD OF MY ENE— One moment, I am now being informed that "The Blood of my Enemies" is actually a type of ketchup. I dunno, oregano or something?

Look guys. I know blacksmiths are hot. But if you are striking red-hot metal a couple handspans away from your bare chest (or dick 😱) then you are likely going to have some problems. 😅

I should try being interesting. 🤔

FRENCH HEN DAY

I would like to re-emphasise this, and also add: the genre and type of writing almost doesn't matter. Romance novel? Thoughts fixed into words. Personal journal? Thoughts fixed into words. Computer program? Thoughts fixed into words, just in a language that's not English.

The act of writing is *thinking*. If you do not allow yourself to think thoughts that feel wrong, you will never get a feel for what feels *right*.

Okay this name of AC's management software has GOT to be a progamming pun. 😅

At family home Baking many cookies to Karen Carpenter

Finished Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Sutanto. It was fun and I recommend it, though I recommend reading Dial A for Aunties first because it's hilarious and it is a better intro to the (Indo-Chinese) culture if (like me) you are unfamiliar.

Headshot doodles that I wanted to share

Mozilla leadership apparently has instructed every team to have at least one ai project. They've introduced an ai automation and scraping SDK into Firefox. And now they've shut down their subscription service for data broker removals. And they quietly deleted their promise not to sell your data.

Continuing the (illegal, of course) North Korea level bullshit. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ken...

azure !! part of a new cast of characters i’ve been working on

I do this for most of my commissions. "Here is this stick figure I drew, please make it Real Art." If I used GenAI, then instead of 5 minutes with a pencil I'd spend 30 minutes with prompts trying to get it to make what I wanted.

When some stupid CEO or any AI apologist says "Let's face reality, AI is here to stay", what they mean is "Let's validate and normalize a reality techbros are trying to push on everyone so they can continue to fap to their inhumane delusions while profiting off it"

Love a good backtrack 😂 "Intermarché is abandoning the idea of ​​allowing you to pose with its new "mascot" in photo booths; the retailer wants to remain true to its position on not using AI."

McIntosh apples are the best apples

So THIS is what they mean by Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree....right?

Terrible News from Intermarché. They have partnered with our main brand of Photo Booth to have a picture of yourself with their wolf thanks to GenAI 🤮 Another excellent reminder than companies are NEVER your friends nor bearer of moral compass, despite giving money to talented animation studios 😔

Old person opinion #653: "themselves" is the correct singular form; "themself" is an execrable abomination.

I do love it when personality traits are cast as moral offenses.

Yes, and I was in New York of all places. 😅

I would be okay with a Gaston movie under exactly one condition: it is a SEQUEL. E.g. Gaston falls off the parapet and into the enchantress's hideout. He's turned into a dog for his trouble. And not a manly dog either—just some mid-sized fluffy thing. He's adopted by a kid and has to deal.

I just got a notification for a reply to a deleted post made by an account I haven't interacted with. What is even going on. 😅

I am being reminded why I try to deal with Ticketmaster as little as humanly possible. 😑

Thank you Google, for making it so tapping a Chat message is no longer Edit, an action I wish to do constantly, but now is Start Thread, an action I wish to do almost never. Such an improvement. 😑

the peace of snow 🌨️🦝 (2024)

Finally got into a hypno 101 panel, at MFF. Currently reading the most accessible-looking of their how-to book recs, by a successful (kink) hypnotist. And the author is patently an asshole. If I was wondering why so many hypno stories have sadistic garbage doms, I guess I now have another reason.

OMFG Telegram notifications have suggested response buttons now and I cannot figure out how to get rid of them. If I accidentally send you an idiotic or banal response I apologize.
