Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives
As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.
"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

Ken Paxton continues to be one of the worst people alive.
This coincides before tomorrowβs elections where he is running against incumbent senator John Cornyn (also terrible) and rep Wesley Hunt (who is also terrible) for the Republican nomination β for Novemberβs election for the US Senator.

Cover illustration for No Dessert for the Dead featuring a dessert shop glass case and a red curtain being pulled to the sides. On the left a small sandwich board sign says "a brand new Brindlewood Bay Mystery in France!" by Jen Vaughn, and on the right is a small red and white chair next to a table. The cover is inset in a matching light red backrground with a big DriveThruRPG log and some macarons delicious piled next to the cover. In a white font it says "A New Brindlewood Bay Mystery"
"A super fun mystery taking Brindlewood out of its usual setting and into a distinctly French adventure. Love the visual design as well as the really vibrant side characters!" - Thomas

You are too kind and don't have all the facts :D my first sock for this set is too wide in the cuff so I'm having to add some elastic
but they are my first colorwork socks so we live and learn! Do you do any fiber work in addition to your gorgeous art?

Some of the people mocking at the McDonald's CEO using the word 'product' should take a deep, long look at their own use of the word 'content.'
They are both meaningless in terms of heart + soul.

Image of a black sock with neon green alien heads that is partially knit, a cat in the middle ground, and on the TV is Fox Mulder from the X-Files, a white man with dark brown hair
Due to all the floods in SW France, our internet is down for a week to replace the fiber infrastructure, so Iβve returned to the ways of our ancestors: watching the X-Files on dvd and knitting
