Just about everything has a global cult following. 3 people in 3 countries is global. And everything has some fans. And that's great! (Compulsive pontificating over.)

Why the hell do so many youtube movie previews use AI slop images? How hard is it to get an image from the movie being previewed? #aislop #wtf #killtechbros #killmoretechbros #aimakespeoplestupidandlazyandstupiderandlazier

Normally I would write "giant monsters" instead of "kaiju" but the bsky word limit had demands.

In the early OOs there was a website for kaiju fans - Kaijuphile.com. It had a gallery for folks to post their art. I love kaiju, I love drawing kaiju so I became a fan of kaijuphile. Kaijuphile is gone. Now I'm posting the 48 drawings I posted there, here, over the next few weeks.

It's not counter culture if it requires sucking a corporate tit. It sure as hell ain't punk.

Last night I was talking to my boyfriend, and I couldn't think of the word 'library', so I said 'book ranch. He thought it was hilarious and started making up alternative names for 'librarian'.

"Cowbook! Like cowboy! No... Readcher? Like Rancher? No, fuck this is hard..."

and just now I heard him yell "BOOKAROO" from the other end of the apartment in the most triumphant tone of voice i've ever heard

I hope Texans paint the walls of the governor's mansion with Abbott's blood today. That would send a message.

I took an oath to defend the constitution when I became a mail carrier. I'm guessing FBI agents take the same oath. Clearly they don't take it seriously. I don't carry a gun. They're required to. And yet ...

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

I did this design back in 2021 for an old friend and classmate. El Molino and Analy high schools were being consolidated. Her daughter was a current alumni and she wanted a portrait of the school mascots (Lion and Tiger) combined. #elmolino #analy #sebastopol #highschool #mascot #lion #tiger

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. 
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOriginโ€™s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. 
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.

The wealthy and powerful are ultimately cowards. They fear losing their wealth and power more than anything. They will feed everyone, including their children, into a meat grinder in order to keep what they think they have.
