I really enjoyed this comic. It's so true. Every time I realize that what I'm viewing is AI art, I am immediately disgusted and unimpressed. It isn't art anymore.
I know that AI can have many great uses that will allow us to do things we couldn't otherwise do, but leave art to humans.

A cartoonist's review of AI art - The Oatmeal This is a comic about AI art.

I just read The Oatmeal's new comic on AI art. It was really good! I share almost all of his thoughts and opinions here, though I actually think it's over used in our daily lives outside of art as well. Give it a look! :)

We do our yearly healthcare signups this month at my company. Our health insurance premiums have already increased by 30% this year. 😟 I work for a great company that has taken that on themselves, but we all know that it's going to continue to grow, even though it's already unbelievably expensive.

This 4th of July, fly your flag upside down.
Not out of disrespect β€” but because our country is in distress.
According to the U.S. Flag Code, an upside-down flag is a signal of dire emergency.
If not now, when?

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

If every one of the 340 million people in America paid a new $35 copay to visit the doctor, that still wouldn’t be enough to cover how much Meta would get from just one tax break in Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

Excuse me, bleach is not safe to ingest into children's bodies. Please tell everyone to keep bleach away from children and pets, and criticize influencers who advocate its internal use.

Donald Trump’s Pentagon nominees can mumble and backtrack all they want, but their own tweets don’t lie.

Our military’s loyalty is to the Constitution, not to any politician.

We elected a scam artist grifter and his cabinet to represent our interests. Some haven't even awoken to it yet and are still being taken. The rest of us are just trying to stop the wheels from spinning and minimize the damage.

Men at Bluebonnet Detention Facility (immigration prison) in Anson, TX form an S.O.S. with their bodies to signal to a drone overhead.

This is the facility from which the Trump Administration appeared ready to fly another planeful of men to El Salvador last weekend

Hi. Elon Musk says that empathy is "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization." In this episode, we look at why the right hates empathy and how they're trying to get more Americans to approve of their antisocial behavior. youtu.be/dwdAEkJks8A

We would need to impeach him and his whole circus. Otherwise, it won't do any good. We'd just end up with another version.

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

And this is why countries are dumping their U.S. treasuries and dollars.

My representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, VOTED FOR THE SAVE ACT. I'm so angry I could spit. Alright. For my Washington's 3rd Congressional District peeps, who will be running against her in the 2027 election that's not Republican like Joe Kent? I want to support them in any way I can.
