Rand Holmes turned me on to Laing 'round about 1977 or 78, courtesy of Harold Hedd comix, and Carolyn Whitford's head shop Seeds and Stems - which had a bit of a reading room setup.

There is a path to liberation for everyone. If you are one of those wired for high verbal intelligence, yours will be a hard road. R.D. Laing's The Politics of Experience may be helpful.

Cat yawn. Miss Kitty is the queen of IDGAF. Famous on teh interwebz? So what.

First photo with new phone.

The artist lives in an ice cold windowless building filled with endless rows of rack mount cabinets, has never seen sunlight and does not even know what that is.

Photographer or AI prompt writer? If the former, take care to avoid duplicating common AI tropes... or no one will believe you did that. Make the keyboard 'artists' come to YOU.

Anyone who hopes to make a dime making art will soon have to compete with AI prompt writers. Reference is the /only/ thing AI has, and from what I see on FB and here that works TOO well. So use it as part of your foundation, but go one giant step beyond. Or lose out to this competitor:

Great work! This guy can't even come close:

Peel back the ugly, garish computer generated "nature scene" and here's what you're really looking at: Floor after ice cold floor in windowless buildings, burning megawatts of power to grind out ugly fake "nature" images. Sorry about the big carbon footprint - NOT. We have just replaced you.

Next time you see one of those garish, over-saturated Nature Photos, pull back the curtain and viola: The real forest is an ice cold windowless building filled with rack mount cabinets. Megawatts in, fake art out. Pardon the big carbon footprint, real Nature just needs to move aside.

Silly beasts sometimes forget to retract their fur cleaning tools. :)

A noble blue jay. If you like my work, consider a follow. #birds #wildlife #photography

Snoot alert: Cold & wet, incoming!

Great photo. All the more so 'cause it's real. ;)

Oops, AI is spreading here, too...

Can't wait to see what they do with infowars. :)

I've heard of "golden hour" light, but this is... way over the top.

Man, did those crazy palm trees in the last sunlight of the day...

According to the Gospels, Jesus Christ was a Palestinian radcial who ran around with guys named Rocky and Killer, working to unite underground factions and start a revolution. One time he raised a mob on Temple grounds and got busted by the Romans. He took the 5th and got nailed for crimes against the State.

I'd know Mt. Ranier anywhere. :)

Skill + Luck x Equipment = Wow

vs. evidence that Democratic voters have a limited tolerance for genocide. The Green Party did very well in the Presidential race - guess why?

Well, it appeared to work but not visible so far. I'll try a picture: Suburban Utopia in Temple Terrace:

Not so much moving here, as establishing outposts. :)

It seems a bit buggy so far - for example, 10 minutes ago I gave up on trying to post an image (or even any text). But if you're reading this, reply is working just now. :)

Suburban Utopia in Temple Terrace, FL

It's hard to campaign against AI in that Other Place. It's looded with fake landscapes, all with tens of thousands of "likes" and three to five word comments mentioning God and/or Nature - the work of TOS-violating AI sock puppet accounts. That Other Place actively supports that crap.
