You’d think after a few years now of people actively showing the world how disastrous Gen AI is, these tech bros would have caught up with the rest of us. Alas, money can’t buy you common sense 😒

Agreed, the quality of community here is fantastic. People care, people want to see you succeed. Theres no tolerance for bots or bullshit. It’s a great place to be. Quality of quantity is always the better choice.

Oh my yes!, what a game!. I’d forgotten how great LAPD FC was. Great shout, Armani 😊

Your displays bring me joy, Jordan 🙏

Absolutely disgusting. I promise you, if I still managed a comic book store, I’d ban for life any Gen AI comic creator that so much as glanced at the front door. 😒 #comics

Now that!, would be Pod Racing #gamer

True, bots are an issue. But I come across creators, real ones, every week who show off so little of their work. NDA’s can’t be broken, of course that has to be kept to. But every creators got work they can show off. It’s a shame when they don’t.

ok, slightly odd but our warehouse just found a box of WS2 none of us knew existed. this has been sold out for maybe 2 yrs now

I'll put them on sale tomorrow but I've had a lot of requests about this issue (& there's only 20), so if you want to reserve one before they go up holla at me

One of the worst things I see here on #BlueSky are talented artists with incredible bios showcasing NONE of the work they speak so highly of.

Flaunt that shit!, show people what you make, why you make it. Repost it, shout about it. Be proud of your art. #art #artsky #proudartist ✏️

Thank you, Kim! 🙏

Kinda wanna draw him some more. Maybe a full zombie version 🤔

Loooove this photo, Tara. So much atmosphere 😍

Plus looks like you walked in on quite a fight

It pains me to remember very much enjoying the show as a kid. And now he’s turned into this… fucking horrid ☹️

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but news / social media—especially when constant, chaotic, and unfiltered—can hit our brains like a DDoS attack: overload attention, flood emotions, and make it hard to think clearly.

It’s okay to step back and curate what you let in. Your mental uptime matters.

Luke Ridge's review of The Diary of a Young Girl 5/5: To understand why Anne Franks Diary has never left the conversation of major literary masterpieces, you have to sit and read it. It’s not an action adventure or a thriller, it’s a powerful, perso...

This year, I’ve been trying to read more books. I’m 3 books into a 5 book, self imposed target for 2025 (gotta start somewhere).

I’ve just finished Anne Franks Diary. A powerful read indeed. Join me on #GoodReads if your there. #books
