Getting back into painting in the world of AI has got to be one of the most frustrating creative experiences. I keep getting "photos" that turn out to be AI or AI modified. No. I want to paint from REALITY or study someone's true works. Human art made by human hands to help fuel mine.

GOOD NEWS! A UNIVERSAL sarbecovirus vaccine candidate has OFFICIALLY started clinical trials. GBP511 is the FIRST vaccine to reach human testing that is intended to protect against MULTIPLE strains of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other related coronaviruses with the potential to spark dangerous outbreaks.

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY, @thoughtsstained.bsky.social!!!!! 🤩😍🤩😍🤩

I know this is like, “eww squick” it wouldn’t hurt me, but this basically bans the first episode of Game of Thrones, a significant amount of Greek mythology, and every open fanfiction website on the planet. And I wouldn’t trust an authoritarian govt with “nuance” about what is art and what is porn.

desolationlesbian Applying for jobs is a hell designed specifically to torment autistic people. Here is a well-paying task which you know in your heart and soul if they just gave you a desk and left you alone and allowed you to do it you would sit there and be more focused and enthusiastic and excellent at it than anyone else in the building. However, before they allow you to perform the task, you must pass through 3-4 opaque social crucibles where you must wear uncomfortable clothes and make eye contact while everyone expects you to lie, but not too much (no one is ever clear exactly how much lying is expected, "over" honesty is however penalized). You are being judged almost entirely on how well you understand these very specific and unclear rules that no one has explained. None of this has anything to do with your ability to perform the desired task.

Last night, I told someone IRL that the next best time to do something you need/want to is right now.

Today, I'm taking my own advice *AND* telling my inner perfectionist to go to hell by streaming a brand-new game (to me) instead of my "perfect" idea.

Discord cuts ties with Peter Thiel–backed verification software after its code was found tied to U.S. surveillance efforts

Discord has ended its partnership with Persona following community pushback, according to Fortune.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

The utterance of "A.I.'s inevitability" is one of the most stark pure performatives I've seen in my time working in higher ed. Every time it is uttered, it is clearly not reporting a fact about the world but instead actively trying to create the reality it narrates. We can and must refuse.

you know, if 'grow a thicker skin' is just a lesson creators have to learn, I feel like the opposite, learn to be kinder, should be just as important for the other side :)

New Jersey Fri, Feb 13, 2026 - State legislative Democrats have bicamerally introduced a bill package to combat ICE. It includes a bill preventing what’s happening with Renee Good’s case in Minnesota by making it a criminal offense for anyone, including the federal government to lock local law enforcement out of any case. A bill that would impose 50% taxes on any government detention facility with those funds going directly to a new “Immigration Protection Fund.” And, like California, a bill to ban ICE agents from becoming government workers or working in education. One of the members who introduced this package, Alixson Collazos-Gill said:

“ The actions at the light rail station reflected intimidation under the false pretense of protecting the public. When masked agents in unmarked vehicles detain people without clear identification or transparency, that erodes trust and undermines the very principles our Constitution is built on…We are using every tool available at the state level to protect due process, uphold human rights, and ensure accountability. I stand firmly with our immigrant neighbors in interest of their safety, dignity, and rights.” I don’t know about you, but this goes a long way in making me feel less Doomed. Especially because New Jersey is completely blue and and this will be easily signed into law. The only question is, will it stand up to the inevitable lawsuit. And we can only hope the answer is yes.

WE’RE NOT DOOMED: Fri Feb 20, 2026
You might have heard these stories, but not with this angle. It’s more than just what the win is, it’s important to celebrate who’s involved and why it’s happening too.

Let’s start in New Jersey…

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

Science is not truth.
Science is finding the truth.

When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

You can completely uninstall/disable copilot on Windows. Your system and local search will run faster afterward. www.howtogeek.com/how-to-rip-o...

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.
