I do math and play Pokemon, and apparently make art sometimes. He/him.

My Spanish is not nearly good enough to understand the lyrics in real time, but *this* didn't require language.

The Olympic rings in a screengrab from the 2026 opening ceremony. Except it's part of an AI generated video segment, and so the blue ring in the upper left is gray instead, and also out of position slightly.  It's hard to tell, but it also looks like the rings don't interlock the way they're supposed to.

I can only conclude that the IOC fully approves of this rendition of its most important trademark.

Why the hell is there AI slop in the opening ceremony of the Olympics?! You're the IO-fucking-C, you can afford to hire a real animator. It didn't even look good!

A disgusting insult to the artistic tradition of the host country, too.

That's what I did, too. And the rubric text included the translations (pass, conditional pass, retry).

I was entering grades on canvas using the same codes, so it made sense. Some students absolutely interpreted them as points, although few if any tried to add up the points, so that's progress.

Digital drawing of Tangle the Lemur wearing a yellow "fuck ice" t shirt. She's holding a Minnesota flag in one hand and blowing a whistle with the other.

Tangle is probably my favorite Sonic character, in part because her origin story is just "normal person who jumped in to help however she could when her village was attacked". Seemed relevant.

Me and me cousin, one Arthur McBride,
One morning went walking along Lake Street's side
Now mark well what followed in that wintertide
As the cold Friday morning was dawning

I can't figure out how it beats Dengo, and that seems like a serious problem.

I made these this summer and was kind of shy about it, but here: Pokemon anti-ICE signs. Feel free to use them for whatever you want.

Some people might upload their *own* pictures to the AI, so make sure the photographer photographs all those people, and only those people, who do not photograph themselves.

An illustrated poster that says "Welcome to Minnesota" over some trees. Then there's a loon with laser eyes melting some ice that's sitting in a lake, and there's a banner that says "Our lakes may freeze in winter but our hearts are warm & we love our neighbors! Abolish ICE" There's also a cool fish sticking out of the o in abolish.

On my morning walk today I saw this one, which is one of my favs, on a power box. See many poster designs here: defend612.com/art/

Yeah, that's what I like about it too. And it echoes implicit differentiation in a nice way.

Amber Glenn wearing her gold medal after winning the US National Championship Womenโ€™s Singles Competition. She is dressed in a black short sequined gown and proudly holding a progress pride flag behind her. There is a gaggle of photographers in front of her.

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Womenโ€™s figuring skating champion.

Or pair it with Vivillon so you don't have to judge, if you can make multiple stage 2 lines work.

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.
