This is Peanut. He decided to stay home from work today. Doesn't have a job, but is too exhausted to go even if he did have one. 12/10 (TT: peanut5025)

This is Pioppi. He didn't pop up for any particular reason, just likes looking at you. 13/10 (IG: pioppibluestaffy)

Apparently the AI bros are on another round of "Hatsune Miku is AI, checkmate luddites" so this is just a reminder that the singer behind Miku was paid and still earns royalties, and beyond that, Miku is nothing more than a MIDI soundboard with advanced pitch converter options, it is not genAI.

I will probably do a working stream later today. Not a lot of bells and whistles. I might try to use this as a method of keeping track of how many hours I work.

decided to animate the remainder bit! The pug's name is Guns, so I'm thinking of naming the lifeguard dog Roses.

This is Kevin. He's a reactive dog getting some training to be more comfortable. His trainer brought him to a pet store for some socialization where they learned he is no longer reactive when given a giant stuffed dinosaur. 14/10 (TT: katieandtatesfostermates)

Re: last thread- I did mention I'm an adjunct professor now, right? Y'all can look forward to more of this in the future.

Had a department meeting where we talked about the feds enforcement of ADA Title 2 compliance. Some observations: 1) it's forcing an ungodly amount of unpaid labor on college professors in a short time with the threat of individual students suing them, not the college, if they aren't in compliance.

First lecture under the belt and vibing in my car. Truly the adjunct experience.

going back to work after a break is always like

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

When the illness you worked very hard to recover from sets up shop in your nose and throat the day before your first day of lectures.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

I grew up in the old internet mines where finding new artists meant hopping around link pages on Japanese fandom sites and digging for hidden NSFW urls as ARG-like puzzle hunting in the html source code the algo can't ever come close to competing with my power of curation

Making my intro slide for lecture and trying to not make it look like a dating profile. Or do I? Is that sufficiently cringe?

Boy howdy I cut it CLOSE with the budget while I was job hunting. We'll be fine once my wife's financial aid comes in the next couple days, but my financial anxiety is through the roof.

I’d also be down to to pet pieces..! I finished this one up recently!

My housemate had a tough holiday season. It would mean a lot if y'all could help spread the word!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

Here are my Top 5 Favorite Dog Stories of the Year!

I feel like there's a GenAI joke in here somewhere but I'm not funny enough

Conventions, if you use AI do not be surprised if creators turn down your invitations to be guests or even to be on panels. Do not use tools trained on stolen work from creators and then tell them you want to honor or uplift them - that’s not what you’re doing. You’re stealing and being lazy.

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

"Rules-lite, shoes-lite, flavour-heavy TTRPG. Southeast Asian fantasy. Flavours include cloves, gingers, and pepper." I've just released Kala Mandala Playbook! Pay-What-You-Want on Itch. I hope you like it! heycentaur.itch.io/kala-mandala...

Another party of nosey folks (2 of 3).

This is Millie. She just learned how to sled. Hopes you brought a second land frisbee, because she will not be taking turns. 13/10 (TT: millietheredlab)

This is Radley. She asks to "destroy" when she needs to let out extra energy. "She gets plenty of walks and physical activity," her family told us, "but she uses her destroy button when she is craving a little extra chaos." 13/10 (IG: radley_barkley)

Me discovering the textbook's instructor manual

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: No Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. "The flames are alive. They call to us and to answer their cries is the destiny of the Burnish."

When you don't like the textbook for your course, but the full course series uses that textbook.

This really is a must read for anyone in academia.

This is something about "AI" that I have a hard time putting into words, but creators just love the WORK. It's just fun. Even when it's hard. All the thinking, and all the detail work, and all the struggle, it makes the things we make, I don't know... have weight and value for us.

best package warning graphic i've ever seen 🪶

Aw heck I need to actually get dressed and face the day, huh...

Last week set me back in training, so I am behind on a couple of bills. I’m raising money so I don’t end up in a dire situation, so I’ll be playing with @lutraluna.bsky.social today and make our own little farm life together. Goal is $500 to survive while I catch up, hope to see you guys there! ❤️

We only rate dogs. This is a very cozy bed bug. We advise you to get a new bed, since this one is taken, and kindly request you only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (TT: coldsmuckersuncrustable)
