Ode to Joy has lyrics??

The phil is about to raise the roof with ode to joy, but she'd have no idea because she's on her 359th re-watch of my little pony. Where are the parents.

In the PBS app and watching the Great Performances episode of the NY Philharmonic reopening of David Geffen Hall thinking about how my kid gets her own little TV slab of glass and I had to watch whatever random programming my dad had on at the time.

This was a fun way to find out @billamend.bsky.social is here. I used to read foxtrot every morning growing up. Newspapers and the comics page were magic for a good while.

It's very good.

End times.

It's things you should never use.

Oh I have a list

Advertising agency's weekly AI visualization prompt competition causes area man to unfollow.

Choosing violence this morning by commenting "is this Ai" on Instagram reels of classic cars.

@minakimes.bsky.social would never.

Do pictures of the cars or if you want to do something fun, do pictures of the bad guy's main henchmen. There's many things a person with a brain could come up with before you get to "weirdly edited images of iconic actors."

Amazon Prime Video Removed Guns From James Bond Posters, Then Stealthily Took Artwork Down After Online Backlash Amazon received backlash from 007 fans after airbrushing out James Bond's gun in new artwork, so quietly took the images down

Not wanting to use pictures of Bond holding guns is whatever. Doing a bad job editing them out of existing images instead of doing the normal thing and using pictures without him holding guns is a different level of executive brain.

Some people cheat at the pinewood derby and get away with it, but that doesn't make it right!

Moon glowing over the trees.

Moon's still out there. We're good.

In the Hampton Lumber forest between Grand Ronde and Willamina, Oregon, this incredible orange smiley face appears every fall. It was designed and planted back in 2011 by David Hampton (co-owner of Hampton Lumber) and timberland manager Dennis Creel. The eyes and mouth are made of evergreen Douglas fir trees, while the vibrant yellow comes from larch trees whose needles turn golden and drop in autumn, revealing this happy design in the middle of the forest. David Hampton planted these larch trees amid the Douglas firs to create a smiley face that returns each fall and makes a happy showing.

From the love our parks Facebook page. To clarify for any skeptics: the Hampton Lumber Smiley Face is absolutely a real thing. It's a massive, 300-foot-wide smiley face created on a hillside in Polk County, Oregon, visible along Highway 18 between Willamina and Grand Ronde. In 2011, during reforestation after logging, Hampton Lumber planted a strategic mix of Douglas fir trees (which stay green year-round) and larch trees (which turn golden-yellow in the fall). This creates the seasonal contrast that forms the smiley face, appearing every autumn for about 30-50 years until the trees mature and are harvested. It's not Photoshop or AI-generated—it's a clever, intentional planting design that's been documented and enjoyed by locals and travelers for over a decade. The photos on the post have been greatly enlarged and the colors saturated to improve the visibility of this for the photos in the post. That's it. It's not AI and it's not created out of thin air. But the underlying pattern is genuine and verifiable—people drive by it, drone it, and post about it annually. For example, it's especially prominent in October when the larches peak in color. No hoax, just smart forestry with a fun twist. Try Googling "Hampton Lumber Smiley Face". Calm Down and Carry On :-)

It's not fun that under every picture or video of a cool thing the org has to assert that it's real and not AI.

If the video doesn't have captions that's that, friend. I'm not turning the sound on. I'm not saving it for later. Whatever that was is gone. I'm glad for you or sorry that happened.

The thing about accountability is that it has to go both ways.

That's it.

That is an excellent question! How can I tell?

I like working in digital graphics because the thought of creating something with the potential to last forever feels too heavy.

Shout out to oil paintings. I've had this for 25 years. I've barely taken care of it and somehow I think it looks better now.

Minecraft is a pretty safe bet.

Yes! Free episode available through the app.

Finally finishing the Art Spigelman American Masters episode and Maus is the main event, but so much great work before and after, too.
