Happy birthday!!!!!!

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

#ArtvsArtist 2025 it’s been…a year

Thankful to still be out here making art. Remember to be nice, use your turn signal, tell your friends you love them, and as always, screw a-eye ✌️

Sounds about right! Maybe Roguelike Tavern in Burbank? Ive been to a few drawing events there, not sure how much the rental was, but it was a “two drink” minimum!

Theres also a great figure drawing space at the Last Bookstore in Studio City - perhaps they would let you run a workshop? Good luck!

Any sci art folks in LA available?

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

Trump administration finalizes plan to open pristine Alaska wildlife refuge to oil and gas drilling The Trump administration has finalized a plan to open the coastal plain of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling, renewing long-simmering debate over whether to drill in one of the nation's most sensitive wilderness areas.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

These attacks on vaccines, tylenol, fluoridation of water, masks, etc is to keep everyone so distracted that nobody has the energy to ask

- why are so many lacking access to medical care?
- why is gun violence #1 cause of death in kids?
- why is life expectancy falling?
- why are meds unaffordable?

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Whenever someone questions market impacts of GenAi, show them this article.

Make them read each heart breaking story.

People’s livelihoods are being negatively impacted, by a tech that relied on the work of those same people to function at capacity.

The whole thing makes me sick.

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

Show me all the skulls! 💀💀Quote repost with your skull art.
