I have sort of defined my end goal of an artistic theme: innocence lost or stolen, shattering the mask of humanity and leaving a vicious brutal shell of a creature that seeks only to make others suffer. And also clowns. Feral attack clowns.

My vibe at the end of the year

sometimes there’s just no words

posting this one here for my #estinienlovers

let me just slip into something a lil more comfortable

"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.

The guy who put a 19 year old named Big Balls in charge of gutting key government services: “experience matters when lives are at stake”

Bokurano does not get the love it deserves in this space

“it is illegal for you not to like me”

"The Conservative Mind cannot understand this"

I am over here studying the hell out of every PIxiv image posted by @otokakoto.bsky.social and I'm in this combination of awe and despair looking at how fantastically she manages colour balance in her compositions. She's SO GOOD. Part of me wants to go paint and part of me wants to go jump in a hole

clicking "translate" on a tweet written in korean, realizing they are being transphobic to me, and telling the author that i fucked his dad, despite the language barrier and an ocean between us

"White supremacy" is a bullshit belief that doesn't deserve any respect and, like all terrible beliefs that rely on power rather than correctness so as to spread, can only survive by being propped up by systemic power structures.

I heard they're trying to ban fat asses and tylenol

There’s no pitch for genAI in the classroom that doesn’t boil down to “it’s everywhere,” or that takes education as more than job training, or, consequently, that actually argues for genAI as a tool that has a distinct function in education. It’s not educators who have their heads in the sand here.

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.

The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

No notes

You guys have really got to remember that there are red and blue VOTERS, but the idea of red and blue STATES or DISTRICTS is a political fiction no different than any other type of bigotry.

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

This message hits hard.

Speech has never been freer! Not performing for the president is now illegal.

Elon Musk has died after a long battle with whatever his fucking problem is

Anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention could see that was happening.

The Inequality in Hollywood is SHAMEFUL.

I don't actually know which ludicrous dumbo he's talking about but he's almost certainly right.

Just remember: AI hates tangelos. They mess with its equilibrium

I see a lot of art come across my timeline but this is the artist that has just absolutely nailed what I am going for in my own art. This is the style I am pursuing. This is what I want my work to look like. I see a lot of really good art but this is what I want my art to BE.

ICE was founded in 2003.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

ICE is having so much difficulty filling open positions that the agency may soon begin hiring documented workers.

Better if you don't. Be cooler if you did

in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

Imagine running a capital-intensive firm when the White House can suddenly threaten to shut your industry down. Wind farms today, something else tomorrow. That risk changes what gets built, where, and whether it gets built at all.

Remember, part of this prediction is that in ten years, almost nobody will be able to afford college in the first place and they'll just refuse to graduate anyone they think is not straight and white and male enough. Oh, you can GO if you have the money, but you won't GRADUATE

LOL we have tried this before, over thirty years ago, and Jeff is about to learn something really really awful about "continual learning" in a system with perfect memory. FORGETTING and IGNORING are crucial to proper learning. Nobody listened to me then and they won't now, but sure FAFO some more

Here’s to 2026

My big complaint about Avatar is that it's insufficiently horny, James Cameron is trying to tell me there's a planet full of huge blue cat-people who walk around mostly naked all the time and are NOT just constantly fucking

This is it. Really. Over a hundred years ago, Lord Dunsany wrote this about the industrial revolution, and this is what it feels like living in the age of the garbage-farting computer machine. It can make your music, it can make your art, it can write your poems and books and movies. And they suck.

I want to deal with the question of time savings, here. I want to consider how things work with AI coding and how things work with classic, historical coding methods. 🧵

The purpose of Avatar isn't to impact culture, it's to be pretty, and that's fine.

A quick google informs me that after this surge, Australia provides about 4% of our beef imports, and our beef imports are about 25% of our consumption. So this headline is basically saying “anger as 0.6% becomes 1% of total” and I’m not sure that’s particularly justifiable

Last night I showed Jackie the ’80 FLASH GORDON for the first time. Her thoughts: -Zarkov rules -she loves all the weird little freaks everywhere -General Kala is best girl -“Booo I wanted to see someone get impaled on the spikes” ➡️ “YESSSS” Epilogue: She keeps doing the song under her breath

STEM without the humanities and arts is how you end up with with all these tech bro idiots, and worse.

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.
