We might have a little something from this one later this yearβ¦ π¦
You are right!
Deliberate obtuseness is often a strategy to waste the time and patience of well-meaning actors.
They want to exhaust us, not engage honestly.
Yesterday was International Women's day.
And, once again, due to insufferable dude-bros, I need to inform everyone that there is, in fact, an International Men's Day.
Nov 19th, every year.
How about we all just celebrate men in Nov instead of asking why women get a day and men don't.
I think rewarding children for reading with pizza is actually a phenomenal idea and we should start doing that again
Ask for multiple images. (AI sucks at consistency between photos)
Tell them you'll be making an insurance claim on it.
If it is sent back to you, damaged for real, make your insurance claim, and THEN offer a refund.
AI can mimic damage in pictures because we live in a hellscape.
If you are a working artist (painter, potter, etc.)
Apparently, AI can create artificial damages in art pieces.
If a buyer sends an image of the work of art you mailed them looking damage, ask for it to be shipped back before refunding anything. Ever.
I say all this to say, gators aren't something most Floridians fear.
We are afraid of the ants, especially if they are in the water with the gators.
I'll hide behind a whole gator to avoid the floating murder bathmats.
FYI, pushing theit on the snout in the water or a bop to the head to trigger their instincts does not hurt them.
In the water, the rule is: hands come from above to bop them, never from below.
Below triggers biting. Above triggers flight instinct.
Everytime a gator get too close to me on a bank, I bop it in the back of the head with my foot.
It skedaddles away.
The back of the head is like an instinct trigger that makes them run impulsively
I write this to say, if you've ever seen a gator run, the only proper word for it is "skedaddles ".
FYI, it isn't iced coffee destroying people's health in this country.
It is the lack of proper healthcare and access to health education.
Let us troglodytes in the mines have our little treat.
RDK Jr trying to take down Dunkin Donuts iced coffee might be the thing to radicalize me.
If you grew up in or around Boston, like me, you understand.
Unpopular opinion possibly:
According to military regulations, Baron Trump might have the only legitimate military exemption in his family.
Today is my last day with a featured gallery.
Thank you, @ixarts.bsky.social for hosting me.
I just saw a video of Donald Trump talking, from his first campaign.
He was so much more coherent and organized in thought. It almost shocked me.
Even Trump was less Trump back then.
They utter lack of regard for human life is at Star Trek villain level at this point.
FYI, I am a progressive. Don't come for me.
We see you, bro.
I'm always shocked to find there are still liberals who are shocked every time they find a white male progressive, that despite what they say in person, won't vote for a Black woman.
Misogyn-noir runs deep in liberals spaces, and it deserves to be examined and eliminated.
This post is about TX.
Jury duty today π
6- all the nasty stains on the carpets and taped together pieces of wall.
7- all the turbo lift signs that have the wrong deck numbers and deck descriptions.
8-...the fact that those were not Patrick Stewart's hands in that flute scene.
4-all the black construction paper on panels to keep reflections from being caught on camera.
5-all the boom mics, camera, camera men, and rig light you can see in the reflection of those same reflective surfaces despite the black construction paper.
Today's exercise:
Watch Star Trek Next Generation in HD to see all the stuff you couldn't see on a tube tv.
1-camera and actor marks on the carpet.
2-boom mics that dip into frame constantly.
3- tops of sets w/ barn doors, flags, and light rigs you wouldn't have seen on a smaller aspect ratio.

Giant oof!!
Did they turn a toddler into pedo bait?
Screw you, Meta!
This is their AI interpretation that they are trying to sell me on. This is LITERALLY a toddler portrait I painted years ago.
My painting!
Someone else's child! They Caucasian-ified a Hispanic child and gave her breasts to boot. BREASTS! We don't need a sexy toddlers, Meta!
It is perfect for our purposes. β₯οΈ
We already shared it on our Pseudopod account, from which a good picture was missing.
