hey thanks shane!

in the summer the window is open and neighbors can hear me laugh too loud and awkwardly at memes. is okay. not being murdered just cat pictures

Someone sent me a video mid journey video of some of my art . the fucker used hotwire. he not only animated it, he voiced her using ai. he genuinely expected me to be pleased, yet he instantly became the only human being on earth i wanted dead.
you know me. i’m not prone to wishing harm on folk

Someone asked folk to roast their AI art, and i said any five year old could randomly generate a comparable or better image with a nonsense sentence
Tbf That maybe wasn’t what they meant

Hey thanks! You can always tell when creators are loving a book!

tbf, retired lino salesman is a classic villain backstory

Nick Clegg: Artists’ demands over copyright are unworkable The former Meta executive claims that a law requiring tech companies to ask permission to train AI on copyrighted work would ‘kill’ the industry

that Ukraine guy seems like what a strongman *actually* looks like.
rather than a guy in a diaper, swaddled in money since birth.
none of my business of course

PANEL 1 Night. A small one-person yacht, seen from a distance, empty sea and sky all around. The angle should allow us to see there’s someone lying on the deck, illuminated by a lamp. TITLE: Above/Below Art: Steve Pugh Script: Dan Whitehead Letters: Jim Campbell CAPTION: There is a unique spot… PANEL 2 A birds eye view of the person lying on the deck. It’s a young woman, looking directly up at us, wistful. We shouldn’t be too high – we need to be able to see that there’s a framed picture lying next to her – it shows the woman with another woman, her partner, happy, hugging, smiling for the camera. Next to the photo are some binoculars. CAPTION: Way out in the south east Pacific. PANEL 3 Reverse angle now, looking up with the yacht in frame at the starry sky above. If the angle allows us to see the woman, now looking straight up through the binoculars, even better. A particularly bright “star” draws our eye. CAPTION: 48°52.5′S CAPTION: 123°23.6′W CAPTION: If you want to be exact. PANEL 4 We’re in Earth’s orbit now. The International Space Station floats in the blackness, echoing the yacht from the first panel. CAPTION: They call it Point Nemo. CAPTION: The oceanic pole of inaccessibility. PANEL 5 We’re inside the ISS now. A young woman, the one from the photo, the partner of Yacht Girl, is floating inside, wearing a jumpsuit. She also looks wistful, but perhaps a hint of a smile. CAPTION: It is the place on Earth that is furthest from land. CAPTION: From other people. PANEL 6 Looking from behind her now, the ISS woman looks down at the Earth from the Cupola window on the ISS. CAPTION: So remote that if you time it just right… CAPTION: The closest human being is 200 miles straight up. PANEL 7 A split panel, with both women – looking up and looking down respectively - now smiling, maybe a tear or two – as their faces are brought close together by pure comics magic. CAPTION: And all the distance in the world no longer matters.
