Square illustration in shades of green depicting a woman whose contour dissolves into the lines of a microchip, which are also suggestive an egyptian-inspired art deco style.

Hey! At the time I shared it there was some demand for it, so I made a print of this piece, available for a limited time (mid january for now)!

Get it this holiday season! 🎁

The Tech Industry Has a Dirty Secret: The More People Learn About AI, the Less They Trust It Researchers have found that trust in artificial intelligence falls among people as they become more AI literate.

I should have expected that, since studies have shown that the less people understand "AI" the more likely they'll use it, and nobody understands less than executives.

I'll never forget how she made a "name" for herself by harassing teenage school-shooting survivors. Now she wants sympathy? boo hoo, she made her own bed.

Please consider helping The Cultural Gutter remain a bastion of smart weirdness.

Probably the biggest reason is the deep distrust of the pharmaceutical industry, rather than a distrust of the scientists and doctors.

It's Max Schreck's face as Count Orlock on a sort of flower-shaped background. It's all a lovely shade of green.

@boloboffin.bsky.social do you prefer a Classic or Sporty Green Schreckmark?

Signor Squalo depicted in felt in perhaps his greatest role ever, the barbarian warrior Squalo Invicto. He has a regular shark body, a red mouth with pointy white teeth, and a horned helm atop his nose.

If you would like your own Lil Felt Critter, we have more--including a Lil Felt Squalo based on last year's barbarian hero from Magick Blade of Gutterthon, Squalo Invicto! #Gutterthon2025 fnd.us/Gutterthon25...

A team photo of the Cultural Gutters, a baseball team representing The Cultural Gutter in this year's Gutterthon. Squalo is there and beavers and Jane Austen has a tremendous baseball mustache. The team is very diverse and too many to describe, but it's very much a 1970s baseball team photo.

Everybody, it's finally happening! #Gutterthon2025

I really like the contrasting light and dark areas. This is a beautiful photo.

Yeah, I can understand that. I love the end result, too. Wonderful stuff!

Our gorgeous #WakeUpDeadMan end credit portraits, painted from life by Isabella Watling. We’re still in theaters, see my pinned post for a theater finder!

Those are all fantastic.

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Thoughts and prayers for that brave camera, heroically sacrificing itself so we could watch the amazing spectacle.

I'll be doing a memorial for that brave camera.

The sheer gall of him to say that. He's not even in favor of local governments representing their citizens. Does he think he's fooling anyone?

I find it deeply disturbing at how many people are positively *eager* to kill their fellow human beings.

There are several live-video cameras on youtube. One of them is right where that left-side plume of lava is landing.

Huge plume of glowing hot lava launching into the air

Wow, Kilauea is putting on an insane display.

I saw a DEA agent was arrested for money-laundering a Drug Cartel's millions. Should we start up a betting pool on how long before he's pardoned and given a job in the White House?

Ex-D.E.A. Agent Charged With Agreeing to Launder Millions for Cartel

I wonder how long before he gets a job at the White House?

Is that what you and your group uses for your games?
I like watching the streams you post on Youtube, and I was wondering what apps you use for them.
I keep hoping to set up a game with some friends via the internets, but I've been unsure what to use if/when I do.

Now that we're in December, it's hard to avoid the constant flood of "seasonal" music everywhere you go.
For my own sanity, I make sure my car is playing stuff like this.
It sounds festive, but is the usual overplayed stuff.
