If she can write a book in a day with AI, then anyone can. So who is going to win the race? Not her.

Occasionally I’ll see a drawing I love so much I’m quite annoyed I didn’t do it myself.

For a while now, I've been feeling like my ever-expanding Cabinet of Curiosities needs an antique leech jar. Which is why I google it occasionally.
Today though, I made the most epic #invetionbytypo ever: Lich Jar.
Now I want a leech jar and a phylactery.

Nobody cares about periodicals.
Books on the other hand, is a capital crime ;)

It was a moment of wakefulness thanks to being menopausal. Turned over and managed another 3 hours kip straight after.

I'm not saying Sarge has become possessive of Raffi or anything, but he Did Not Like her being catnapped like that.

The print quality is good, but I don't think the photogrammetry/SQL was particularly high res. Still, I'm sure some fettling will add some finer detail where needed.

Cheddar Man has arrived!
Fair print quality that will look great after some paint and polishing. Absolute bargain for the price, so I've ordered a second skull from Carnivorestudios.

I am too out of my depth to be a true pain. But I have prepared a pernicious little question about level learning outcomes, just for the look of the thing.

Considering I can also barely stay upright at the best of times, and have vivid memories of humiliating myself on an ice rink, I can't think why my mind would treat me to this.

by angling sideways. I'm assuming there was a forward directional grain of some kind that made it work like real skating or skiiling.

Last night I dreamt I invented a material that had so little friction you could stick it to the soles of your shoes and skate around on any surface.
I called it SuperGlide (TM).
And if you made a floor of it, and used it on your shoes, you could skate at superhuman speeds.
It was very cool.

PANEL 1: on a grey, gloomy background, GRAMP (and older bald man with a grey mustache) stands, bags under his eyes, looking down.
NARRATION: Friends, are you MASSIVELY STRESSED? Have you tried…

PANEL 2: On a bright pink background with yellow sparkles, bright purple text reads: Standing a small dog on your belly?

PANEL 3: GRAMP, now laying on the ground holding a thumbs up, the background bright and happy and full of sparkles. OSO, a fawn pug, stands on GRAMP’s belly, eyes dilated with delight.
TEXT: Because oh man that is ALL RIGHT.

I'm on it - now already halfway through.
It just makes my old head ache, analysing a lot of dense academic writing and teasing out the actual meaning of things from it.
Stupid academic doublespeak.
