Greenland is not an extra channel on the cable package or tinted windows for the new car. It's part of Denmark, or longstanding ally. It's not for sale.

I know that a lot of things look grim, but think about that: When the snow falls people draw on it smiley faces, hearts, love, peace signs aaaand maybe occasionally a dick. But no hate messages that will make someone's day worse. The first instinct is a message of joy. Hate is often artificial.

Very excited for this release! I only hope that my brain will be able to decipher all of it haha

Happy 85th birthday to Hayao Miyazaki, a true genius, magnificent storyteller and amazing artist!

Tár. The action of the film takes place in second half of 2022 (we can see the dates on magazines and in e-mails) and it was the year of russian invasion of Ukraine. no one in the film mentions it and they behave as if nothing shocking happened. Imagine film happeningin 2001 that would ignore WTC.

ultimately we need to be able to imagine a government that serves the people in order to collectively act with the strength required to demand change and the longer we let things like this pass, the less equipped our society will be to imagine a future where things are different.

NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times. But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them. broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-threat...

I recently rewatched a few episodes of Star Trek DS9 and noticed how main characters use sort-of-AI. Basically they give voice commands, that *always* start with "Computer". No chit-chatting, no flirtatious voice, no names, no treating it like a living being. As it should be.

Reminder: I’m updating my patreon pledge options tomorrow, but you can lock in that sweet 2018 rates before then.

I wish you a better year, full of resilience, hope and community. To those struggling - I wish you'll have more days at ease and people will show you kindness. Lots of good health, human connection, happy moments and a shoulder to cry on when the need will arise. All best

I really miss watercolours, I’m so rusty! Here’s a little turtle guy!

Extra well-done. Apt for the last day of 2025.

10 hours left of year 2025 here, so it’s the time for the annual redraw. the last 12 months were full of stress, struggle and disappointment, so the bar is quite low for next year to be great! I feel it in my bones. Thank you for all the support and love, I hope you have a lovely new year!

I covered this in my premium last week, it’s laughable! www.wheresyoured.at/ai-mythbuste...

Why are the manga titles so long now? Long and descriptive. would Naruto be now called "I'm an orphan and all my village hates me but I'll show them and become Hokage!!!"

Reading a history book without footnotes and endnotes feels like being in a room with a guy who repeats "trust me bro, it happened!". Gimme that source, I want to know more!

Nothing makes fucking sense anymore.

Figure drawing tips, round five. This one's all about hands, and why they're impossible to quick-sketch in detail... (1/3)

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

I absolutely love the works of Lucy Knisley and I honestly believe that such tender, wise, humble stories are changing the world for the better (one step at a time.) Showing the goodness in people is so so important, especially now. and the art is beautiful:) Great for a present! Happy mishmash!

This article struck a nerve in me. Implication that it is a language that *makes* us human is invalid, ableist, wrong and dangerous and yet used here without a second thought. Take the language from the LLM, what will be left? Do it the same with human. We can think without the language.

Labour strikes aren’t new! The first recorded strike in history took place in Egypt some 3,200 years ago! The ‘Strike Papyrus’ records that tomb workers of King Ramesses III downed tools over pay and conditions circa 1157 BC! Museo Egizio, Turin 📷 by me #Archaeology

I think the biggest problem of TGA is that they don't feel like a celebration of this craft at all. Even at Oscars every category gets its moment and people are allowed to talk and thank. costume designers, special effects etc. it's about their work. and TGA? Oh you won best family game BYE

From the early years of this decade, just a few of Jon McNaught’s wonderful covers for the London Review Of Books.

Another round of figure drawing tips! This time, we're gonna talk about shoes. But first, another way of thinking about proportions of clothed human people... (1/3)

I will always support such cool ideas for games! Inkulinati (the other game made by Yaza) was great. I love how this project is full of passion and glad to see manuscript aesthetics and humor.

I had a joke about Orpheus, but I turned my back on it.

my coworker and i went to a restaurant zohran mamdani recommended and it was the best food i've had all week. finally, politicians do something for me in 2025.

New video! It's a look at my urban sketching practice, with footage from my recent trip to Japan! youtu.be/4qwKrB8xvSo?...

I am once again gently and kindly reminding everyone If you see a video that looks like people doing something that immediately triggers a strong positive or negative reaction ... Take that as a signal to put on your skeptical hat and take a close look before sharing

Don't want to be monothematic but... this is seriously dangerous

This one got retracted but I bet there are many more articles that are in fact nonsensical and AI slop. without regulation we are ought to expect this level of absurdity and stupidity in the schoolbooks. Images that make no sense, nonexistent authors quoted etc. GenAI is an assault on education.

The study found trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a chemical produced when pesticides containing Pfas chemicals break down into the soil, in breakfast cereals.." Do you remember how people who opposed pesticides were painted as? As ""green weirdos" opposed to progress. Sounds familiar.

Two things: 1) How can people floating in open water continue a drug run? Swim a thousand miles towing a crate? 2) More importantly, drugs are not weapons, and a drug run is not a national security threat, especially not an immediate one to the world's most powerful navy.

Samurai Jack was one of the most stylish cartoons and I'm sure it influenced a lot of kids who later become artists. Aesthetics are important part of education and entertainment after all. I loved those backgrounds, music, style, story. iconic.

#3169 I can only hope whatever is above this is worth drawing attention to.

It's Small Business Saturday! And I run a small business! Here's a little rundown of what I've got . . .

In fact, we could probably get a fair amount of these gains with smaller, more focused models, and/or models *not controlled by corporate entities*, so the overall damage to our world would be minimized. But boosters like you will never see that.

Great interview!! "It turns out that when you withdraw discipline from firms, when they don't face consequence for being bad to you, and when you reward them for doing bad things, bad things occur. This is a thing that is obvious to everyone except for the policymakers.."

Hilariously on point "The idea that if you keep teaching the word guessing program more words it will wake up.. It's like the idea If you keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans aren't word guessing programs."
