Every once in awhile, I think of my favorite “…the fuck did you just say?” phraseology, which is from Homer’s Iliad, proving we have never, ever changed as a species, only less fancily inclined.

“What nonsense has escaped the barrier of your teeth now?”

(also Emma Thompson is the GOAT)

I’d like it if the reboot of Murder She Wrote is actually Jessica Fletcher killing someone every week and elaborately framing someone to settle some decades old grudge.

This is gorgeous! It reminds me of Kelly Freas' art.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Thank you so much to @papurrcat.art for this beautiful sketch.

Jodie Foster in Candleshoe was a revelation to 10-year-old me. Also, Princess Leia. Elfquest was definitely a contributing factor as well.

Funnily enough this story was way late.

I got paralyzed post election, bc it’s not political so what’s the point, who would read it?

But then I figured I can’t handle anything but escapism so maybe it’s OK

Turns out it should always’ve come out in summer

When we finally start to build community and solidarity.

This San Francisco Bookstore Has Stopped Selling the ‘Harry Potter’ Series The announcement came with a curated list of alternatives to J.K. Rowling’s fantasy series.

"In an announcement (...) San Francisco bookstore The Booksmith said that it would no longer carry books by J.K. Rowling because of her ongoing support of anti-trans policies. Accompanying the post was a list of fantasy books that 'might fit the Harry Potter brief for you and yours.'"

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

I did #makeaterriblecomicday2025

A comic drawn tiny on a napkin in pen. 1: a drawing of a sword in a stone. "the sword of kings..." 2: a king-like guy is pulling out the sword, light shining. "The one who draws it from the stone shall be able to learn a GREAT TRUTH..." 3: close up of the sword blade. Near the hilt it says "WHAT IS A DUCKS FAVORITE SNACK?" and near the tip it says "...QUACKERS!"
