if you’ve ever watched the apprentice, that’s the world without arts or humanities degrees

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

It is of course a work in Poegress (is it better this time @cawhitworth.bsky.social?)

life is worth living

Apparently it’s 176 years today since Edgar Allan Poe died, which I didn’t know when I sat down to start painting this.

Ann Radcliffe eating hard cheese right before bed to give herself nightmares, Stoker claiming Dracula was the result of a nightmare induced by a “too generous helping of dressed crab,” let’s go back to the golden age of eating incredibly rich food before bed to create horror literature

fellas is it gay to live in a city

making Doom guy damage sounds as i receive a stern talking to

On a train. Chap in front of me is making a slide deck I can only describe as “our business is fucked, what now?”. Just watched him fill out the “challenges” section at Sonic the Hedgehog speed, then under “opportunities” type “more space in the building” and sit thinking for ten minutes. Aw, honey

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

every AI ad is like “hey gemini, what would i have for lunch?” and then the phone is like “sandwich” and the guy is like “wow”

OPENAI LAWYER: so how does this sound. 'user x' pays us $3 to generate a video of elsa suffocating him with her ass. from that, you will receive a princely 50¢ DISNEY LAWYER: i am going to shoot you with a gun

Hiring Bari Weiss to bring down the temperature of the discourse is like hiring Animal from the Muppets to reduce workplace noise

Absolutely refuse to believe you're all this invested in who the French Prime Minister is at any given time

the best answer i got for this:

Statistically Backed Stereotypes for Each 40k Faction. Astounding. Motion for Deathwatch to be renamed to Hotwifewatch. www.reddit.com/r/Grimdank/c...

Not the most “I can definitely be trusted with power” kind of statement I’ve ever heard

lol

The end of history is real but it’s localized entirely in the doctor who fandom, where it is eternally 2008

If a tiny fraction of the resources deployed towards AI was invested instead in actual artists we'd be enjoying a renaissance rather than drowning in a sea of garbage

We’ve tried the herrenvolk median voter and education as a STEM-to-spreadsheets pipeline. It sucks. Everyone’s bored and miserable. Let’s eat Greggs and paint Orks and drink dark mild then go see a weird new play.

Obviously, this is loser shit, but I think AI has really cemented itself as the visual language of fascism. It's anti-human, flattened, uninteresting, and cheap. It's like looking at a Potemkin Village and thinking that's the same as architecture.

This is beta mindset, Gareth. Your spouse is your co-worker. Your parents are your boss. Your kids are employees. The only relationship you should get "emotionally attached to" is the one you have with that AI chatbot who loves you because of the new branch of physics you've invented together.

I didn’t even know he had an album out.

to avoid confusion I have made a little table of Mitford siblings

1 Euro 50 to see the face of God, not a bad deal.

As someone whose primary exposure to anything resembling Catholic imagery is Warhammer 40000, being in Andalusia is a jarring experience.

Call me a prude if you want to, but I do think it's really weird to use your conference speech to list your favourite wanking euphemisms

September 30/October 1st.

guy in 3000 bc: remember when tools were made of stone 🪨 now every thing is bronze 😡 we used to live in cave ⛰️ now we sleep in hut 😪 instead of hunting ox 🐮 we make them pull plow 🌾 who else wish we could go back 😩

Someone should probably inform the White House's "AI & Crypto Czar" that no one is forcing AI companies to train their models on Wikipedia

They call me

THE MEME IS REAL

Mandatory unpaid work to be done by The Other, is it?

Apparently what I do in the middle of the night in a sleeping pill fugue is now "create bad little graphics on canva"

this illustration from a 1920s newspaper ad is still possible in 2025

www.bbc.com/news/article... (From Mastodon): You know your plan is garbage when Alliance, DUP, UUP, SDLP, and Sinn Féin are all on the same side. With one fell swoop, Keir Starmer unified Northern Ireland (against his BritCard).

Well don't I feel stupid

CEO read a book and now it’s your problem

Conversations from the shadow economy: "Do you have your work papers?" "No, is that a problem?" "No it is not, I literally could not give a shit." Good solve, Keith.

Ffs #opensource as a concept is mainstream enough that there is absolutely no excuse for anyone working at an OSPO or in #FOSS MGMT to act like this. It's gross: www.theregister.com/2025/09/22/r...
