This is an especially pointed message when you consider all the people who said Roe should have been codified to protect it from the SCOTUS. Codification didn't protect the VRA, did it?

Your audience can have more dreams than you alone can, if you let them. 💁🏻‍♀️

I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s okay to have a special interest or hobby that doesn’t have a bigger purpose than making you happy. If it does not make you happy it’s ok to stop. It’s all learning even learning you didn’t actually want to do that thing in the first place.

Nothing underpinning it. No genuine understanding. Just SHINY SHINY SHINY. And sometimes, not even that.

Been thinking a LOT about this page from "Understanding Comics," lately. I could only find this slice of it online, but it's enough to get the point across. AI "art" is the ultimate hollow apple.

mock book cover 📚 aka an excuse to draw athena and her owls i couldn't come up with a good title though

The house, like the girl, is easy to overlook.

Time to send out the latest round of Fell For It Again awards to everyone who declared that Trump couldnt possibly be worse than Biden re: Israel/Gaza and may even end up being better

A captivating watercolour painting titled "Painting Portuguese Houses - Detail from Lamego" Watercolor on paper - by artist Francisco Fonseca (Portugal) It's a detailed depiction of a rustic building exterior with a distinctive green wooden door and window. #art #pencil #ink #watercolour

Addendum: If you find AI has utility for something, it's the "something" that you have found, not the "utility" 1/x

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Morning friends. 🤣🤷‍♀️

You keep learning how much the Biden/Harris administration did as Trump takes it away.

"How to debunk conspiracy theories like 'Netanyahu controls the US'" Feel free to replace "the US" with Starmer, etc., etc...

I'm live on Twitch! It's our Monthly Retro Marathon today, and I'm playing Heretic, one of my favorite games, all day! I'm also using a mod by @alantielrainne.bsky.social to play as a female character! Stop by if you can! Link in comments!

Booster separation confirmed

I want you all to notice how everyone is glad Hungary voted for the opposition instead of the fascists, and nobody is like “maybe they should’ve let the fascists win again to teach the opposition a lesson” Because that would be just unfathomably stupid to say

Rosalina listening to some tunes

When the reference outdoes the original. 💁🏻‍♀️

I remember realizing this sort of thing when I was a teenager. (Apparently many adults still haven't.) Who is blindly anti-conformist is still conformist. Everyone has to find a balance between fitting in and standing out. The answer is to stand where you stand, regardless of whether it fits in.

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II. She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet. Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

Now the most critical part of the mission begins: Figuring out what's going on with the toilet. 🥴

I blow on my bread before I put it in the toaster.

The escapism of gaming isn't that you get to slay the dragon or explore the galaxy or whatever — It's that the problems you encounter are within your power to solve. There are enemies: but you have weapons. (And you're allowed to use them.)

Go science! Go art! #steam #stem

There are some female player character mods for Doom that have been floating around for a long time. Now also ones for Heretic and Hexen which I made myself. 💁🏻‍♀️ They have no defined sexuality so you're free to define that as you see fit.

I hope all the people who voted against Genocide Joe are feeling good this morning

As I understand from the broadcast I'm watching, one of many firsts for humanity: the first good picture of the Moon from a phone camera! (Though they haven't shown us yet.)

Girls only want one thing and it's to conduct a go/no-go poll of flight controllers before deciding to launch the next phase of the mission.

The Jetsons lied to us

All kids should have a mandatory 10-hours a week in front of one of these from ages 8-18. Absolutely life altering experiences.

Hideous Destructor (a mod for modern ports of classic Doom) is on a similar level — even basic weapons are very deadly, healing is an active process that leaves you vulnerable for a bit, and finding safe places to manage inventory (down to rounds in magazines) is important. I rather like it.

Can officially confirm that .... Spring is in the air

As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it. You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result. Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

The reason English spelling is full of inconsistencies and silent letters is because it’s not simply encoding how words sound. If English spelling were aiming to represent sound it would indeed be a total failure. But English spelling encodes words' meaning and history as well.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

When fiction presents a nuanced world and deals fairly and respectfully even with its antagonists; while the real world is teeming with comical cackling villains. What a world.

🤔 If it's not a close-up scene where individual drops matter, I think it'd make more sense to have larger quads representing clusters of drops all at once. Enough for differentiation between different areas (less rain under a tree) with an order of magnitude fewer particles to deal with.

[Corporation makes thing] Corporation: People want this! People: No we don't. [Artist makes thing] Artist: Nobody wants this. People: Yes we do!

This is why you do not allow Republicans to win elections. "But Democrats—" Opinion disregarded. Democrats don't do this. Republicans do. Get your priorities straight before you hurt more people than you already have.
