My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Couldn’t think of what to draw. Start drawing a goth girl but I suck at designing OCs. The expression/shapes coincidentally ended up more cartoony than planned. “Guess I’ll turn this into Stocking…”

this is about billionaires

Seeing all this shit from the Epstein files, I almost feel like we owe the PizzaGate terrorists (or was it just the one guy?) an apology. ALMOST. They were still grossly misinformed & useful idiots for the actual monsters, but I fully understand their frame of mind/actions in believing it.

After a bunch of technical issues with my local comic shop, I finally got Noss & Zakuro v2 by @rariatoo.bsky.social So I decided to celebrate by drawing Rudy the werewolf eating a sausage.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

This past week Hinge has only been showing me 1 profile a day, for a 75 mile search radius. Yes, I have filters on, but is it seriously too much to filter out conservatives, ‘moderates’, & people who have/want kids?! I’m ~35 miles from Detroit! Is the platform dead this close to Valentine’s Day?!

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

Aside from the obvious, my favorite part was the assertion that imperial oppression is "alien to the traditions of American and Christian morality." I too have never read a single paragraph of history!

Cop-respecters seem to think that pigs should be safe. Why because they're "brave." But they're only brave if they're unsafe. To protect is to put oneself in harms way. A school cop's title should be "designated casualty;" they signed up for it. But that's taking far too many false axioms as true.

nadella continuing to try and position it as a "cognitive amplifier" is driving me crazy because it's literally scientifically proven to make you stupider lmao

Perhaps it’s for the best that I never got a tech job after college…

Awoke, looked down, noticed a new asymmetry. My right forearm is just slightly thicker than the left. I don’t know if it’s muscle or inflammation, but I’m guessing it’s the former. I really should work out, but don’t feel comfortable unmasking to either swim or not overheat immediately.

Okay, so I was only recently made aware of the "For you" feed everyone likes, and it was pretty cool. Except it was showing me too much gay/furry/futa porn. So I hit "show me less like this" & it started showing me MORE OF IT & LESS SHIT I LIKED. I don't know what happened, but can it be reset?

Ok. Found a video with a better breakdown.

“Refuses to be controlled” is very funny for someone whose whole thing is doing whatever the oligarchs want her to do

Inhalants are hard to dose. Reused the same bowl as a week ago on Sunday in my dry herb vape, just stirred it up a bit, & got so high from one hit my brain is trying to act like I’m taking another every time I take a deep breath for the last 2 days.

It’s really frustrating wanting to be a digital artist when I find myself making small mistakes in analog that could be easily corrected in digital, but my laptop crashes running solitaire, I’ve always had issues with my drawing tablet, & the ctrlZ brings out my inner perfectionist. So analog it is!

I’ve been avoiding drawing hands entirely since returning to drawing… so today it’s time to draw hands. 😑Not even sure how much I can use my own hands as reference with things like a bone spur that looks like a ganglion cyst & slightly short fingers. Well, time to look up a tutorial or something.

As I slowly get back into drawing, I’ve found it so incredibly strange how no matter how much I may struggle on other things, I seemingly can’t draw an outright bad butt. Maximum effort or lazy doodle, it comes out right every time. I should up the difficulty with angles/poses…

Disgusting. The IDF calls children crossing an invisible, arbitrary line a ceasefire violation, but not killing those 2 children nor 300+ other Palestinians since the so-called ceasefire. Israel has violated every single ceasefire agreement it’s made in my lifetime, btw.

I mostly understand nonviolence, but I don’t understand why people with/want kids aren’t all violent revolutionaries at this point. The planet is dying & we’re all being poisoned, how is that not triggering parental protective instincts?! I don’t want kids, what’s y’all’s excuse?

The work requirement for SNAP (MI previously had a waiver so this is the 1st year I've encountered it) feels especially cruel in that it will be forcing me out of the house in December. Not because of the cold, but because the GODDAMN ENDLESS CHRISTMAS MUSIC EVERYWHERE! That's a form of torture!

A lot of my favorite shows of the time loved to lay it on thick. It made them resonate a lot more growing up. Static did it semi-regularly.

Catching up on anime, gotta say Fujimoto Tatsuki’s 17-26 episode “woke up as a girl syndrome” is probably my favorite of their many bangers so far. The older brother is almost unbelievably woke for 2000, but that makes him all the better a character.

Whomst among us hasn't felt a little vacuum about snackie all done

Has it been said before that the true reason everyone went mad in Lovecraft’s works at the sight of greater beings was because they were all incredibly racist & couldn’t handle being on the other end of the supremacy stick? Because I’m like 99% sure that’s why.

Not a great start to the morning. Only once I’m out the door I find my pro-Palestine pin has disappeared from the lapel of my trench coat. Perhaps I should use this opportunity to finally buy a kuffiye. I don’t know how I’ve gone so long without doing so, honestly.

I don’t really care about the new Hyrule Warriors game… except for the new Gerudo lady. But fortunately for my struggling bank account, that is not enough to get me to buy a Switch2… yet.

Friendly reminder that all house cats are under the false impression that you will have their back in a fight. That confused look of betrayal at the end!

I don’t know why, but seeing Boots Riley argue with Zionists on Twitter the past few days, countering their claims point by point with hard evidence has brought me a surprising amount of joy.

"Judeo Bolshivism" but instead being against actual full-blooded, never-left-the-Levant Semites by people as indigenous to the area as (gentile) Germans are "Aryan," a group of peoples from what is now India/Pakistan.

Israel has killed more than 100 Palestinians since Hamas agreed on Friday to release all captives as part of the latest U.S. ceasefire proposal.

The reason every elite institution in the country is propping up pampered millionaire Ezra Klein is that his overarching response to the country’s plunge into tyranny is “Don’t fight the fascists, become a little more like them.”

I like the concept of Gehenna, basically hell but everyone goes there for up to but no longer than a year with weekends off, because it gives opportunity for the extremely backhanded "well-wishing" that someone awful be spared it... and their soul instead face oblivion.

The antisemitic demons who have been the party that has chosen violence for the past century, are calling not handing over food for the starving to the people STARVING THEM “violence,” as they prepare to murder them for their brave, honorable deeds. Fuck Israel.

Was just trying Silksong's path of pain area and it's hard in a bad way. Many of the jumps don't feel like YOU messed up when you miss them. They feel like "ha ha this corner's collision is just a tiny bit too big, fuck you." Or just "Nope! you take a few extra frames to wall-cling after floating!"

Got Covid booster & flu shot today. Got home afterwards & started playing SilkSong, then I take a break & BOOM! Cognitively & physically sluggish & half my body is sore. Clearly I should have kept gaming, then I’d still feel fine.

I love the implication in the newest chapter of Chainsaw Man that Denji was so distracted by panties that he literally didn't see the gaping black void on Shi-chan (lil D).

I just wish Windows 11 was not AI-ridden.

Thinking about this because of the payapl stuff but the funniest thing about all this anti porn stuff is that the most traumatized, fucked up people I know in terms of sex are the people who dodged porn until like their 20s lol like is that the goal for everyone???
