New blog post! Last week I attended EXPO CHICAGO at Navy Pier and while this is an incredibly small showing of what I loved seeing among the gallery booths there, I did want to share some works that left a strong impression on me:

A brick building with a "He is risen" banner on the side. On top of the building there is a billboard of Gowron, son of M'Rel, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council. He looms ominously over the scene, grinning and giving the viewer crazy eyes. Gowron can SEE INTO YOUR SOUL. If this isn't funny to you, you should watch more Star Trek.
A glorious Easter to you and your house. Qapla'!
So mesmerizing to watch, you are doing the people's work creating this ❤️
The rainbow-colored infinity symbol.
The gold-colored infinity symbol.
April is a World Autism Acceptance Month- and with that, as a person diagnosed with both autism spectrum and ADHD, I would like to ask folks to stop using puzzle piece as a symbol for autism and instead go for the gold (autism) or rainbow (neurodivergent) infinity symbol. ♾️❣️ >>>
My best hopes to these astronauts, hoping for a safe mission 🚀
The image is a screenshot of a tweet by "Cassie reads banned books" (@PrissyCassie) that says, "I really like this explanation. Overly simplistic, but still accurate. 🖤🏳️⚧️" The tweet includes an image of a can labeled "Sweet Peas" from "Kroger," but the contents are carrot slices. Next to the can is an explanation: "This is what it is like to be transgender. Sometimes the wrong label just ends up on the wrong product. There's nothing wrong with the label itself, and there is nothing wrong with what's inside the can... they just don't match because a mistake happened. Yet at the end of the day the part that matters is what is INSIDE the can. No amount of denial or stubbornness will make those carrots turn into peas."
a digital illustration in the style of a relief print depicting a black cat in a defensive pose holding a torn and tattered transgender pride flag in its mouth as it looks directly towards the viewer. the background is purple with some specks of blue and pink showing through, and behind the cat is a black midground resembling grass or flames. the top right corner features a box with a caption reading "T.D.O.V."
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️⚧️

Back in 2016, it was the number one thing I was concerned with, foreign relations (being at the time, there was still some semblance of checks and balances). Now at this point, there's only so much holding out other countries can do, for the American people to turn things around :(

Just a study, I'm trying to find out something!
I question every single day why there are not articles brought forth by every democratic member of Congress at least once a week for some new illegal thing he's doing. While I understand that they're not likely to pass because of the imbalance in Congress, at least show us you're fighting for us!
Ope also 'when you touch me'
Come a little bit closer genuinely stole so many hours of my life as a teenager.
I'm in love 😍
F**k the Olympics
I have an opinion.
If Sex and the City had just ended with Season Two, it actually would have been a super great show.
Does anyone know the name of this hospital?

r/marketing u/Objective-Feed7250 Gen Z can spot lazy AI images and it’s hurting conversion rates Discussion New consumer trust report came out. 78% of Gen Z can identify AI generated images and will scroll past them. Been running ads for an apparel brand targeting 18 to 25 year olds. Our CTR dropped 40% after we switched to AI generated lifestyle shots. The images looked fine to me. Models wearing the clothes, decent lighting, no obvious errors. But apparently Gen Z can tell. Went back to real product photos and performance recovered. Not fully but better than the AI stuff. The report mentioned things like lighting inconsistencies and unnatural shadows. Stuff that’s not obvious unless you’re looking for it. AI images probably work for some audiences but not others. Older demographics might not notice or care as much. Edit: for graphics and layouts i use X-Design since you control the inputs. But for photography targeting younger audiences, real still wins.
I find this completely believable.
I’m on the top end of gen-Z but I find people in my age group and younger spot AI imagery instantly and it’s often taken as an indicator of corporate insincerity.
Meanwhile a lot of older people I know can’t tell the difference and workplace management pushes it.
I can't even begin to articulate how much joy these posts have given me 💕
I wrote up what the Iran War and crisis in the Strait of Hormuz means for the world. If this continues to spiral, we may be heading for a very different world than the one we currently inhabit. The last bit of normal may be gone for a generation.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane:
The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...
