You know I had to do it to him. #TADCFriends

I'm genuinely shocked by this behavior from the French. They, of all people, should know that you coat in egg BEFORE you dredge in flour. He's never going to fry up properly now.

Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰 In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏

It's fun updating character colors sometimes. Really like how it feels like she could fit in a film compared to before.

i'm sleep deprived don't look at me

Is Dream Phone Conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Dumb fucks say it's time to consider whether they're onto something x

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

FYI, if you make less than 67K USD a year or are disabled, you can get your taxes done for free by VITA volunteers. The IRS works with them to ensure they know what they're doing. You can find your nearest one here: https://freetaxassistance.for.irs.gov/s/sitelocator

One of the worst, most curdling things I ever heard in hindsight was someone saying that electing billionaire businessmen was good for the US b/c they know how to run a business, ergo they'll run the country like one and all I gotta say to that is look at who they had to step on to get to there.

Celeste is almost here! More than halfway funded! 🐰🌙✨ She's so close to coming home with you all 🥺🐇🤲 Preorder at @theyetee.com until Dec 15th! 🌟: theyetee.com/usagishima

This is one of my favorite comics stores in the entire country, and due to the pandemic and some other issues, it is asking for a bit of help. I hope you go look and spread the word, donate a little bit (or a lot) if you can. I'm going to donate some in the morning, hope you will consider it, too.

YOU'RE ALLOWED ONE SPOONFUL OF THE CURSED SOUP THOUGH

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

i have a crazy idea: imagine an economy that doesnt completely implode every 7 years

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

It was this time last year that I was wholly distracted from pressing project deadlines by making this ragtag troupe. Currently resisting the pull to add new recruites...

Today I photographed a crow up close. What beautiful plumage it has. I was truly moved. #birdphotography

Finished up some plushie Small-Spotted Catshark/Lesser-Spotted Dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula) this morning! These are all printed at-home- this gives me the freedom to use different fabrics and slight colour variations! They're for sale over here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/smallsp...

Your workplace knows Covid is a health hazard & labour rights issue. They don’t care. They’ll replace your sick, disabled ass in a heartbeat Masking is self-preservation. Masking is resistance to fascist authoritarian conditions. ✊😷 They can’t fire you for masking but they can kill you if you don’t

WOA

Light pollution is a relatively easy-to-address environmental problem. I’ve tried talking about it through the lenses of human and wildlife wellbeing, plus preventing insect, bird, and bat fatalities. Never got as much conversation as this post. Yet another reason to be grateful for the aurora ❤️

Be nice to seagulls!!! 🤍

"You can't un-invent AI!" We can't un-invent asbestos either. That doesn't mean we have to use it.

You guys wanna see a dead body?

Marsh Harrier today at Catcott Nature Reserve.

I made a dumb little game about trees being mean to you that can play for free here: tykenn.itch.io/trees-hate-you It was meant to just be a gag for a different project, but I was having too much fun placing traps and turned it into a whole obstacle course thing. #gamedev #indiegame

Would you believe me if I told you that what anime & manga fans like are drawings

'You're adopted' ---------- (For the non-palaeo folks, this is in light of a newly published paper re-establishing that #Nanotyrannus, previously understood to be a juvenile #T.rex, is indeed its own genus after all.)

I’m seeing “blocking discourse” again. It’s not that complicated, folks. We have a right to choose what we see online. This doesn’t mean echo chambers are good, it just means each user has a personal responsibility to draw their lines where they want them, and where they do is none of your business.

Literally just don’t spend money knowing JK’s true colors. Don’t fucking support her. Don’t fund her transphobia. But I really don’t give a fuck if you’re watching your old physical copies that were collecting dust in your home and purchased before she became publicly unhinged.

How oddly quaint, for the murder of crows to be among the slain. Death comes for all, though. It's coming for you next.

Artists, when you get an email like this it’s a scam. Sending a generic message yet won’t click the link in your bio to find your shop or at bare minimum read some of your captions, recent posts, etc. = it’s sus. I see new artists get their hopes up & fall prey to this. Stay safe 🫶 🐡

This red tailed hawk (𝘉𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘰 𝘫𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴) graced my fence a few weeks back. (Ignore the trailer my hick neighbors use as a shed)
