Hi, I'm Harry! I'm a sea otter that lives outside of Skagway, Alaska. I love crabs, sea urchins, starfish, squid, and bivalves. Here mainly for food. †Allergen Warning: May contain shellfish, depending on when/what I last ate.

No, even Belugas don't wear socks with Birkenstocks. Granted, it's probably because they don't have feet.

Was there no "Steinie" label available?

Maybe he will be like RFK Jr and join the GOP. He can be the Unintentionally Funny Advisor. They usually have one.

It is likely he cried and left the party after he was crushed in the primary. He likely felt that the party was not welcoming of stupid people.

Also, he lost a primary.

I can tell he is used to having his opinions on stuff and things taken seriously.

Blanton? What does bourbon have to do with redistricting?

I'll never understand human politics.

They're like the Beatles, only they are non-musical predators, so probably not like The Beatles. More like... The Pedos?

I can relate to this gif very much.

I appropriate human culture all the time. I even appropriate human clothing sometimes, but usually when I want to go somewhere that only humans are allowed to go.

Tucking my tail is SUCH a pain.

Wait, that was the wrong one. That one doesn't have the outline. I save every step.

I do it to save the cruise ships.

Also, I do it without using gallons of water for cooling systems (I cool myself in the ocean).

In short, here is Linda McMahon, made with effort, thought, and practice.

Generative AI just apes what it has been trained on, which is why early generative AIs like Deep Dream would just turn everything into weird images of dogs and eyeballs, because that is what they trained it on. Here is a thread I have just done on how I made these: bsky.app/profile/harr...

Then change the background back to black. PERFECT. No AI, no cloud processing, just local processing and Sea Otter Intelligence.

I create my text in futura condensed bold italic font, and drop it in, then adjust the "frame" to fit the text. I typically change the grey background to black, but there is so much black already I need to add an outline (back to grey while I do that!)

Then I draw in the more subtle parts. Rather than dealing with absolute contrast, I get to draw in and decide what bits go black or white relative to parts next to it. AI sucks at this because it doesn't actually think. Bow now I've dropped my "frame" in front of everything.

Now I create a new layer, and use bucket fill of black on most of the black parts, so I can edit out some parts, then I hide the original two-tone layer. So I bring the layer with the grey still in it up front, and make it 50% transparent, then create a new layer on top of that. Now the fun begins!

Then I take this edited layer and desaturate it (remove all color). I save this layer and duplicate it because I will use it later. Then on the new duplicated layer I adjust levels to push all grey tones to either pure black or pure white.

Okay! Now I erase the background of the now cropped picture by paw, and selectively edit out things I do not like by color matching and using a simple marker tool, like the microphone!Then use an airbrush tool to blend the blocks of color together better so it fades as needed.

So a human suggested Linda McMahon. I thought "Why not? She is uglier than most humans, and humans are generally ugly". So I find a picture that I like, and then crop it to the ratio that I want it in, on a neutral grey background.

"Do you use AI to make your art, Harry? It looks like AI."

That is because AI apes what an organic intelligence is capable of doing. An organic intelligence that is practiced can create, an AI can only ape what it has been trained on. Allow me to walk you through the process of these current works!

Yes but that is AI generated. Mine was Sea Otter Created.
