If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:

man some really groundbreaking work being done today in the field of pissing me off

I watched the Real comicsalliance dot com die, you can't fool me

Always remember.

*gasp* My interests! youtu.be/4iZZGBMlFbc?...

I am blessed to have pals who work in IT because my God is it challenging to discuss the pros and cons and details of this work with people who are not in IT.

I’m tired and sad, and then my fool brain decided ”Let’s look up videos of where my military family was stationed when I was young!” /types through the floods of tears/ DO NOT RECOMMEND

For whatever strange brain reasons, I wound up rewatching the time President Obama went on Between Two Ferns to promote the US government’s health insurance site and it felt like looking into some Star Trek alternate universe youtu.be/UnW3xkHxIEQ?...

Hey locals! Comics!!!

The fella is so generous with his knowledge and I love it

So this morning I get an urgent email for a same day cardiology appointment at my local treatment centre. I was surprised (and alarmed) but fine. I moved things around and went there a few minutes ago. Only there was no real appointment. The receptionist said I wasn't supposed to receive any 1/

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

Mistook someone saying the word “smart” but they were actually saying the word “smut.” Heretofore truly unknown heights of Boston accent.

Didn’t expect my new jam to be Grace Jones’ cover of “La Vie en Rose” and yet that is now the case youtu.be/41S8ftuBRiM?...

bad news y‘all I’m tipsy and looking up voiding cystourethrograms on YouTube

Wilson Pickett dance break! youtu.be/FchOg9kXbHo?...

The Jewish Heritage Center and the Boston Comics Arts Foundation is hosting an in-person discussion about the life of Will Eisner, one of the most influential artists in comics, and their work to record it through the most appropriate medium: a graphic novel! More below⬇️

Aaahhh I am so good at writing UX copy, and I’m going to be very annoyed if this craft gets pretty much completely replaced by just clicking a button to extrude AI-generated text.

1/ Having recently been in conversation with some bio fam down in deep red TX (lifelong Republican/Southern Baptist/homesteading & homeschooling “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” type folks)- I learned 2 things about attitudes towards single payer health care on which we can build:

Today.

Nodding so damn hard at every paragraph

"I have four words for you: turn the volume up." might as well have been uttered by THE ROCK cutting the most electrifying baby face promo of the attitude era. Zohran's speech was a babyface promo.

SOME GOOD NEWS, FINALLY I might cry

If you're on the hunt for a unique Christmas gift, how about a print? Travel, birds, sport, botanical, food, there’s something for everyone. All prints are available in a variety of sizes to suit different budgets & I offer personalisation too. juliaallum.co.uk/shop #prints #shopindie #shopsmall

brb I need to go write the screenplay for *Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Predator*

Nodding so hard at every paragraph

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Everything sucks so here is my dog eating ramen. 🍜

“You deserve to take care of yourself _before_ it is an emergency” — Oof, that hits me really hard.

For those in the USA just waking up: apparently an X-Men musical debuted at my high school in 2023 and you can listen to all of the (really good!!!) songs here:

My friend is nonbinary and had to get a breast reduction because their GP was worried about their spine, and now they have to get a hysterectomy because they've got endometriosis, and I can't believe a person can be so biologically transgender that the NHS accidentally insists on transitioning them.

Was listening to Rick Steves while feeding the dogs breakfast and there was an extended bit about how great central Europe aka The Slavs is, and I am now imagining Dracula having Steves under his thrall, making him urge people to go to a beautiful and quiet village with a castle in central Romania.

10/10 take. No notes.

I know have essentially no followers on here so I am basically just screaming into the void but I do, in fact, have to have a small rant about this and similar sentiments I’ve seen this week. You can actually make a point without shitting on the South…

This reminded me to check whether Alecto the Ninth has a release date yet (answer: no ☹️)

So, I made these hands for this cabinet that I hate in our guest bathroom. It doesn't fit to the sink and there's this big gap where you USED TO be able to see ugly plastic tubes to the left. I couldn't think of a good way to hide/fill the space completely, so this was my solution. 🧠

current mood: back to going “hnnnnggghhh” but now I’m blasting “Highway Star” on repeat youtu.be/Q4VkYR4Zj5w?...

get my Bell’s palsy and stroke survivor pals on the phone to start prepping the inevitable lawsuit

Nickelback, quick, ride the zeitgeist and record a new version of your song “Hero”

I've been honest about this and I'll do so again: AI hype is making me want to leave the field more than anything else I've had to deal with in academic libraries. And there's a LOT of nonsense to deal with. Yeah.

"did you even read the article???? the headline is bad but the article is good!!!" buddy if I see a restaurant called Dan's Fecal Stew i am not gonna go in there to see if maybe they printed the sign wrong

This study could be titled "what makes doctors quit" The answers are saddening: 1) being a woman 2) practicing in a rural area 3) caring for sicker patients and dual-eligible patients www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

Extremely excited about this event tomorrow on Luddism, and the lessons we can draw from it today: scienceandsociety.columbia.edu/events/new-l... (If you’re there too, come say hi!)

This nonsense got me reading up again on the Berlin Airlift and I learned that the US Air Force made a 14 min documentary about “Operation Vittles” in 1948 that you can watch for free online: archive.org/details/Oper...

Autocorrect got me good today. Changed "Thanks so much" to "thanks slick" in a work email, so now people think I talk like Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive.

This kind of medical nonsense is exactly my jam ✊💖 youtu.be/1GYq1eHwhAk?...

What! WHAT! How … how did I not know this? What rock have I been under?!

This is the sort of inspiring story I love to read. Bowie's playful attitude towards gender in his work helps a man realize that he's been in the wrong body his whole life.
