Other than being able to turn off AI completely, the practical upshot of making DuckDuckGo my default search engine is that I get to see this jolly looking duck every time I make a new tab.

Alas, I didn't draw anything for World Goth Day; so have a clean scan of the Jhonen Vasquez/SQUEE! panel redraw I did a couple days ago. 🖤 #jhonenvasquez #squee #artistsonbluesky #artistsonbsky

McDonald's Japan started running a new ad where they recreate "I can't defeat Airman" to advertise iced coffee, but the video is region locked on twitter so fuck em here's the video with English subtitles.

A thank you note/love letter/commentary on art for anyone interested

"Just do it big dog" is the energy the world needs right now.

I need this more than math can numerically convey. But also if they did one of the Saturn-era low-poly Sonic, I'd need it EVEN MORE THAT THAT. 💙

Ah, yes. The cautionary tale that was ignored and then apparently forgotten about. SPOILERS: Tay turned into a racist edgelord douchebot.

They deleted that account and started a new one as @microdose1.bsky.social. I blocked that one, too!

Good lord, drawing on bristol board is SO nice. I should do this more, so much more! Also, pray tell, why am I broke?

You can tell a lot about our current cultural moment by reading the TVTropes "Headscratchers" page for Jaws, where multiple entries basically ask, "Why is the shark so unusually large and aggressive?" and the replies all explain that Jaws is a movie about an unusually large and aggressive shark.

One of the best things you can do as an adult is realize that you didn’t actually have to stop drawing, coloring, painting, playing with clay, doing whatever else you loved as a kid. Even if you’re bad at it. Maybe especially if you’re bad at it

Real question: the fuck do you guys think the word meant before

Us SEGA kids had hedgehog, a much superior character to man. Man sucks. Hedgehog is cooler.

making a proper post of this so hopefully more people will see, but Microdose Comics appears to be the new company and bonus harassment alt of Shutterstock founder/AI Guy Jon Oringer (last screenshot from bsky.app/profile/hell...)

I decided to redraw a Jhonen Vasquez comic panel, from SQUEE! A couple of creative liberties taken. But I like the results. 🖤 #artistsonbluesky #doodle #illustration #sketchbook #fanart #squee #jhonenvasquez

This is exactly what LLM/"AI" is good for. Writing many words that say nothing, images with many details that mean nothing, music that feels nothing. It's good for nothing, adept at it even.

the fuck it will

My kingdom for a tech ecosystem that will stop smothering me with apps and devices that constantly try to engage me in conversation against my will

There is no AI art. We need to stop using that term. “AI generated imagery” or something like that can work if you don’t want to call it slop. But it isn’t art. Semantic, sure. But it’s an important distinction.

Comics friends, if this account just followed you, block them. It's an AI platform for "comics" -

Heads up comics fans, that Microdose comics account that's going about following you all is apparently an AI Comics platform.

Might fuck around and draw more art that has people secretly and quietly questioning my menty H, dunno yet.

IS WASTE HEAT COMING FROM THE HEAT-PRODUCING BUILDING CAUSING MORE HEAT? HMMM

Oshi, I mean, there was THIS from the other night that I drew and forgot to share here. Whoops. It's not funny, just how I felt when I had a couple hours to kill out in town, in the rain, with nobody to call upon for company. Okay, that's hilarious. RIP me lmfao #comics #indiecomics #indycomics

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

That's it! My people-pleasing era is now OVER! #comics #indiecomics #indycomics

Read through Jhonen Vasquez' ancient Squee! gn today and, well, I'm honestly feeling quite inspired by the whole "I drew all these pointless comics that have nothing to do with anything because they were in my head and made me laugh" energy of the 'meanwhile' pages. So now I'm drawing something.

Me, playing Sonic 2, sick of Tails in tow and wishing the series writers would give Sonic some of that juicy trauma that will eventually lead to his swearing to only ever 'work alone' so I can get less of this shit and more just-Sonic.

I swear I'm near-impossible to advertise to. Like, I already didn't-want the thing you're showing rather smugly to me, all this ad has done is make me want it less. Unless I already wanted it, in which case the ad was useless MUAHAHAHAHAAAH!

Doodles are baby masterpieces, Son.

I have a complete list of everything LLM/AIs can do that humans cannot; within every blank sketchbook I have in reserve. (that is, nothing. They can do nothing humans cannot)

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Oh, the most-recent DOOM game is a year old? Seems like it released way longer ago somehow. But like, chatter about it really dropped-off didn't it? People were yarping on about Eternal for yonks after, but not The Dark Ages. Prophetic title?
