I like that you don’t even really need to try to be able to clock AI art any more it’s like the matrix code but for garbage

We must appreciate Sam Neil's acting talent and palpable humanity while *also* recognizing he was hot as fuck his whole life.

correct you if you’re wrong?? bitch this is the internet i’ll correct you even if youre right

Our red squirrels have far more conservative ears, so this tufted little one felt like a fun challenge. But the branch sealed the deal. All that moss and texture. QoR watercolors and a Pentel Aquash brush in my Etchr A5 sketchbook. #sciart

Have you ever read it??? It's 100% not a children's book and whoever says that is lying to you. Not only is the central conceit absurd, the illustrations are lurid and terrifying. Love that book! But it's not for kids.

Read a minor work by Marjane Satrapi, Poulet aux prunes. A melancholy, bitter-sweet (but emphasis on bitter) masterpiece. Actually, devastatingly sad, but extremely careful narratively. A hard, uncanny read when one knows Satrapi herself died of a broken heart. www.lassociation.fr/catalogue/po...

It feels ridiculous to be told my entire life the importance of reducing my energy usage and switching to stuff like LED bulbs and then read reports of energy prices spiking in many US communities due to data centers.

These overnight deaths that are announced while I’m still awake are starting to chafe. The late, great Sam Neill with the equally great Cillian Murphy.

Todays #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ButtShots - well, this is maybe not exactly a butt shot, but it is definitely the rear, and I like this photo very much (EXIF info on zeens.app). Great tit, bogatka (Parus major).

today let's rank eutrapelia on a scale of buffoonery and boorishness with Billy Sheehan: "2. There are jokes in my mother’s eulogy – jokes I believe she would have enjoyed. They land." https://www.havehashad.com/kbt71

For the writers: I'm working on the third revision of the proposal for a novel that everyone agrees is "can't miss". Even slam dunks require a lot of polishing.

Let this be a reminder to us all. *It* can happen at anytime without warning! Be prepared: 1) Have 3 days supply of champagne in the cooler 2) Make a plan for where to meet your family and friends to dance naked in the street

This is how I found out that 17 years after my first nomination, my writing actually won a Shirley Jackson. Thanks @johnlangan.bsky.social. Thank you to the jurors. Thank you to my publisher @ghoulish.bsky.social. This is wild, lol.

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

This is the consequence of the fetishisation of the qualification over the content. Linking the having the piece of paper over the skills when it comes to recruitment and this is going to get worse as recruiters and recruiters delegate the process to ‘AI’ from both sides!

Snakes are more scared of us than we are of them [watches snake drive off in my car with my wallet & phone] I mean, not that one, but most

New data reveals a steep decline in Ethiopia's rare Walia ibex population, dropping from 865 in 2015 to just 271 recently. Found only in the Simien Mountains, the wild goat population has plummeted due to poaching, habitat loss, exacerbated by recent war. @shreyadg.bsky.social reports.

"executives with no understanding of the industry" seems to be an endemic problem across industries: higher education, medicine, you name it, a bunch of suits with MBAs and unearned arrogance are destroying everything around us, and for some reason, we're supposed to accept that they know best
