Go follow Kim. She deserves the support, makes great art, and has great taste in characters and humour.

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

the ultra-rich have always hated humanity, but i find it genuinely frightening how much the rise of AI slop has allowed them to go full Let’s Do Bladerunner IRL But Without Any Of The Cool Parts about society

I think we should destroy professional wear and instead allow anything that appears high effort. Japanese street fashion, cosplay, full Victorian era fits, no rules as long as you’re stunting on them hoes

I say that as a warning, not some snarky gotcha. Young men need to be a part of communities that foster healthy growth, accountability, responsibility and support, not the constant fear mongering ai porn hole misery pit they're entrenching themselves in.

On your deathbed, you will probably not be thinking, "at least I totally owned those trolls on social media," and if you are it's unlikely there will be anyone there to hold your hand as you go

European citizens should be concerned too.

There are many things I love about Finland but somehow the fact it's the sort of country to make another country go "Who shall we send as ambassador...? I know! THIS guy!!!" kinda captures the essence of ALL of it.

EVERY WORD OF THIS. Join the Greens. Because we deserve a better country than this. 💚 join.greenparty.org.uk

Giving this a little bump because apparently a lot of folks missed it and some other folks are *really determined* to find someone to blame for it. Despite me explaining it's just crap luck and there's no one to blame.

Do u ever just miss the world without ai images

LUCASARTS PRESENTS Columbo in: SCUMM of the Earth #pixelart

when you’re reading an old book and it’s all “chapter 3 - in which henry visits the store, an old friend re-emerges, and things get out of hand”, that was just their way of doing content warnings back then

Hey man big fan. Listen uh. I don’t need you to post every batshit conservative take from Twitter about how Mamdani is going to make goatfucking mandatory or whatever. It’s fine for everyone including me not to see that. Thanks

Polls don't close until 9 p.m., but here's a gift link to the results page for the NYC mayoral election to bookmark to watch once they do. (No needle for this one.)

The Théoden's grave

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

Found this in my old stuff: the very first Lone Wolf book from the “Kai Series”! It was my introduction to gamebooks, and I still think it’s awesome. The storytelling, art, and sense of progression were way ahead of their time. #gamebooks

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

I will aggressively ignore all changes to the timeline until they pry the following feed from my cold dead hands give me reverse chronological or give me death

USEFUL BACK IN THE DAY KNOWLEDGE *packs a weed pipe* So back in the day in America when there was no ACA and the 'safety net' was shit, my uninsured friends when they HAD to be seen medically for bad shit would not take IDs to the hospital and would give a fake name and claim to be indigent.

Trephacard Week Day 3 - Sleepy! #Trephacardweek #Trephacard #Castlevania Eepy.. sleepy eepy… let them rest, they deserve it

On a completely unrelated topic, did you know that household bleach, saltwater, and other chlorides can trigger "bronze disease", an "an irreversible and nearly inexorable corrosion process" that can completely destroy bronze objects?

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Third state. Sorry. Really unsettling stuff, too.

It's their first convention. (08/31)

A pair of assistants wheel out a metal table, upon which a writhing, screaming number seven has been strapped. Its eyes roll around in its head. "Who would like to cut it open?" The Exceptional Story for October is here! The Shape of Infinity, by Heather Flowers.

ICYMI: I got to write another subscriber story for Fallen London! Check it out!!

Just in case, I want to clarify something, because it turns out some people are offended by me and accuse me of gatekeeping. When I write "Please don't copy my artworks, thank you for understanding!" I mean exactly what I wrote. It's not an accusation and not rudeness. It's a polite request.

An illustration from a few years ago, when I was in my ‘put moons on everything’ phase- which I'm completely over with and not fighting myself about every time I paint 👍 #Illustration #MoonArt #ArtistOnBluesky #ArtInspiration #SketchDaily

This is absolute truth. These days my Friday afternoon painting sessions are various friends dropping in for a chat as much as to paint. Turns out talking about how you feel, or what you're worried about, seems way easier when you're all holding brushes and focused on tiny figures, not each other.

Otto the Otter and Spirit Friends

I've been doing some literature search on "generative AI" (versus "machine learning") for my job and what I've found has made me, if anything, even more deeply concerned. (As opposed to my steadily burning fury about the corporate IP theft.) I'll link a few in the following posts.

King Abdullah II of Jordan, best known for his role as unnamed science officer in Star Trek: Voyager

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
