The neighbourhoods here are running out of space to put the snow shovelled from driveways/ walkways. Every time it snows, I can’t keep up with shovelling. I have to shovel paths in our backyard for the dog. It’s crazy cold and most days have been grey. At least it’s sunny today. Yup it feels endless

This is probably the best comic I’ve read in a very very very long time.

You know, it never occurred to me that Garfield’s last name is Arbuckle.

A white dog with a brown patch on the side of his abdomen and brown face with pointy ears looks at camera. He is a very good boy.

Completely heartbroken. Goodbye Benji. Love you.

Two comic panels side by side.  Above the first one it says "2-3pm." The first panel shows a lady in a dress holding up a carafe of hot tea in the background while a crowd looks on.  She says "We'll pair up the strawberry cheesecake bonbon with the hojicha..." We see the two friends from before in the foreground looking at each other excitedly while saying to each other "Hojicha!! <3" The second panel shows a tabletop with a Tea Tasting Wheel card, a porcelain teacup, and a butterfly-shaped napkin with three bonbons on top of it.  A caption rectangle at the top of the panel says "*Hojicha * Coco Ember Chai * Banana Bread Rooibos." Arrows point at each bonbon and say "Strawberry Cheesecake," "Salted Caramel," and "Dubai Chocolate." One final arrow points at the napkin with a caption that says "Butterfly napkin!"

Two comic panels side by side. Above the first panel it says "3:30pm." The first panel shows the two friends from before standing in front of each other and talking, but this time they're also exchanging ziploc bags with tea bags inside each.  Unintelligible speech bubbles surround them.  Each ziploc back is accompanied by an arrow and a caption; one says "rooibos" and the other says "yorkshire." Below the panel, the caption says "Back at my place. Exchanged tea bags and kept talking.  Then Kirsten had to go." Above the second panel it says "4:30pm," then it shows the woman from the beginning back in the PJs from the start of the hourlies (along with a caption that says "comfy again").  She stands with her child by the kitchen counter next to the toaster oven.  She says "And that's how you warm it up!" The child is about to turn a knob on the toaster oven, which has a tart inside.  The child says "Got it." The caption below the panel says "Kiddo wanted a snack (Portuguese custard tart!).

Two comic panels side by side.  Above the first panel it says "10:45am." The first panel features a young preteen walking groggily in PJs, saying "Hungryyy." The caption below the first panel says "Kiddo got up (Alex was still asleep)." The second panel shows the kid in the foreground sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of hot chocolate with an empty plate and a water bottle in front of them.  Their mom is in the background about to place a tray inside the oven.  The caption of the second panel says "Breakfast and me baking a Hawaiian flatbread for lunch."

Two comic panels side by side.  Above the first one it says "11:30am." The first panel shows the woman from all previous panels talking to her friend.  They're both comparing neck charms.  The first woman says "Hey, we're both wearing acorns!" and her friend says "Oh yeah!"  The first panel's caption says "Kirsten arrives!" Above the second panel it says "12 - 1:30pm," then it shows the two women at a restaurant table surrounded by unintelligible speech bubbles.  Only one is legible and belongs to the friend, who says "Hojicha tea! <3" The second panel's caption says "Brunch and catching up."

Why is Google Sheets so much easier to use/ format than Excel? I feel like I’m going crazy trying to figure out Excel. Please tell me it’s not all in my head.

i saw it going around a few weeks ago, that everyone thinks their department can't be replaced by genAI but all the others can.

we gotta all stick together on this one

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off

Orly’s Draw-A-Story. It was about an 8 and 3/4 year old Jamaican girl that liked creating stories and you draw pictures to do go with the stories. If there were ever signs…

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Please point and laugh at this wire armature and paper mache Cyborg I created for a high school art assignment circa 2004.

Two star shaped Christmas cookies on a wooden table. A napkin with two deer are above them. The cookie on the left has cartoonish face and the one on the right has eyelashes, blush and red lips.
