Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

More bins packed. two smaller packed bins now downstairs for temporary staging. a little embarassing how winded I was from relatively mild physical exertion, but... I'm showered. in comfy pajamas. cozy padding. buried under a nest of blankets. watching pbs nature.

all my stress is ebbing away.

everyone needs to grow the fuck up and start playing pretend with toys

everyone however, knows, that the best kobolds are 3 feet of condensed muffin.

If Woz hadn't put so much into the 1983 USA festival, metal wouldn't be half the force it is in this country right now, and a significant number of iconic bands wouldn't have had a good concert set filmed. Arts funding has an impact!

"Can you tell us more about your platform?"
"the platform was published in a limited edition of three and has been sold out for months"

Dick Cheney's death was faked to allow him to take over the offshore drilling platform, Manifest Destiny.

Cheney, assuming the identity of Liquid Reagan—whose left arm he is wearing—will plot a reunion with the clone of Henry Kissenger and a soldier imprinted with the personality of Ronald Reagan.

Happy hatchday draggie!

Awwww. Thank you so very much!

Oh no , No worries. It’s just. Oh, I see so much performative horror, and overreaction that stuff that’s weird and harmless and was hoping replies here would be cool, but you know same old same old.

I know. I know you don’t. You got this though. I believe in you.

I’ll be honest. It’s not my thing at all, but seeing people in the replies and elsewhere, doing the performative “oh no, here’s a weird sex thing, this is so awful” is just like… Boring. It’s like oh no, you think this thing is weird? Should we call the New York Times about it?

If anything, those of us who pushed for such a reckoning have been punished more than the actual perpetrators.

I spent over a year muzzled in SLAPP litigation for the high crime of... saying I believed a state senator's accuser.

The senator sued us activists for defamation.

Hey did you know that it’s super easy to setup but that all the guides suck ass? Shout out to furries this guide is awesome!! youtu.be/fNPcwFV0oH0?...

Whenever I tell people that ADHD is a wildcard, this is what I mean.

“Just have an LLM do QA” fundamentally removes the people who are going to play your game more than anyone and that’s SUCH a critical point of birds eye level visibility to toss out like it was nothing. Games aren’t good just because you don’t fall through the floor. There are quality bugs too

- "Licensing it is too expensive sir"

Panel 1 Mae: We’re kind of out of stuff to watch… should we try something new? Liz: Sure, why not? Panel 2 Liz: Oh! I heard about a show called “The Bear” - it’s supposed to be really good. It’s about a chef in Chicago. People say the food looks amazing. Mae: I’m willing to give it a try. I have yet to see a show about restaurants that actually feels like it was made by someone who actually worked in one. Panel 3 Liz: Well, from what I hear, it’s supposed to be REALLY accurate. Like, surprisingly so. Mae: Yeah, we’ll see. Nobody ever really gets it right. Panel 4 Mae: TOO REAL. TOO REAL. YES CHEF. CORNER.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

More ref sheet opinions because why not.
Talking with a professional artist friend, I asked them "What is concept art?"
Without doubt he just said "It's art focused on solving problems, or providing answers".
Ref sheets are concept art, meant to visually teach others about one single character.

This is shitty as hell and I'm so sorry you're being put through this. You don't deserve it one bit.

A gift to you all for free on my birthday! It'd make me super happy to see this spread far and wide.

It's hard to eat spaghetti with only your mouth! Trying my best. :D

Happy hatchday! It's mine too! I'm 4(7)!

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.

Democrats swept all 13.

That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).

They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.
