My mate @npzr.bsky.social is an absolute gun of a photographer and will be in Melbs April 3 - 8, so if you need headshots, glamour pix, band photos, whatevs, hit him up. And I'm sure he'll drop some work examples in the thread so I don't have to.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

Remember this if nothing else about ai detection software: It doesn’t work; don’t use it. A 🧵… It false-flags neurodivergent ppl at a scary rate, further reducing their access. It cannot detect the most up to date ai generated text (false negatives). lawlibguides.sandiego.edu/c.php?g=1443...

removing straight as an option is peak game design and i will NOT be clarifying

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI. Tiny 'making of' vid here - youtu.be/_2RacX9DgWM...

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

I listened to a lot of Slayer while I was pregnant. Baby now has a schedule but won't go to sleep until she's heard Raining Blood.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

This is such a great idea. Digitizing films that never made it to Blu-Ray or Streaming. At least the DVDs already have digital files on 'em and could be directly and cleanly ripped. The VHSs need to be digitized in real time, glad someone is doing that on this scale.

if you've had a shitty week, here's the fantastic news you needed: solar is SO efficient now that nothing else really comes close. Solar farms like this- under which other countries plant crops that thrive in the controlled bright shade- are the easy future. this makes me sleep okay at night 😌

"i asked chatgpt" yeah well i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains, i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less I seek my source for some definitive closer I am to fine

As holders of a Bachelor of Arts in drawing and printmaking, and 20 years of experience in graphic design and publishing, we can say that this is one of the best documents on design we've read. Absolutely a top notch resource, and a great piece to keep handy no matter your education or experience.

"HE'S GETTING AWAY!! AH-HYUCK!!"

@patrickhwillems.bsky.social I feel like you roughly predicted M:I8 like 7 years ago (positively)

Flirting with someone in a European time zone is what I imagine it felt like sending freaky letters back home from war.

"Sorry, my Mum said no"

The fact that this 'journalist' admitted to using AI for research really highlights that 'oh I just use it to help me write, not do the writing for me' is a line of bullshit. Using AI at any step of your work simply spreads AI poisoning everywhere.

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Does anyone want sketch or pixel commissions for $20-$40 dollars?! (Depending on what's in it) I can't buy lunch until pay day on Thursday 👉👈

You know what I miss? Overly-detailed 90s'-era anime depictions of technology doing it's thing. These days it's all holograms and touchscreens and yeah, it's more realistic, but it's so much less tactile and satisfying to watch and hear, you know?

The youthifying effects of estrogen have combined with my sun damaged skin to make me look like 20 year old who with shell shock from WWI.

Fallen London's AI Transparency Statement is so funny xD

The Wayback Machine is regularly used by journalists and researchers: it was vital in my own thesis for piecing together various online presences whose data would otherwise have been lost. It's too important to be destroyed by either corporations or vindictive billionaires with things to hide.

Happy 5 year anniversary to the stupidest thing I've ever Photoshopped

Apparently it’s international bat day, so have a bat!

Well, a major client has stiffed me for three months work, with no indication of when it'll get remedied. It goes against every fiber of my being, but if you have a few bucks to spare, I'd appreciate it - the rent is due.

Happy Tasmanian Devil Average Birthday! 🥳 Tasmanian devils breed annually during late Feb/Mar, & have a very short gestation (~21 days). This means the average birth date for devils is 1st April So wish any devils you know a Happy Birthday! &, on average, you’ll be right on the money 🥳

Movies that take place at roughly the same time

It's finally done. CAN'T PLAY DEAD, a transgender vampire novel I wrote is out. Trans Day of Visibility felt like an appropriate day to release it - and to celebrate, I've temporarily made my novella set in the same universe free to download.

Manifestation ✨

feel strangely emotional about this?

I’m putting ketchup on everything today in celebration. EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU KETCHUP ENTERTAINMENT

more people should start their own webcomic not to make money, not as a side hustle. They should start a webcomic so that they can have their own comic
