Another point of view ❤️❤️
You guys don’t need to try to convince me that any form of AI has merit. It doesn’t. It is boring and half-assed. I am fine getting by with human brain power. If the world nears its end and AI has one hater left, good news! I am still alive.

NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility.
1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken.
A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.
Discworld QOTD, from Moving Pictures
"Ordinary laziness was merely the absence of effort. Victor had passed through there a long time ago, had gone straight through commonplace idleness and out on the far side. He put more effort into avoiding work than most people put into hard labour."
Somewhere within the universe of the prairie hills
Is a climate that is yet unnoticed, and from it
Is welling a warm rupture of another season
-Simon Ortiz
Time and again people have shown great resolve and courage, and risked their lives to keep alive the hope that a different society can be created.
-Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Strongmen
The ceaseless lying and corruption, and the cynical disregard for human life that marks strongman rule can lead to despair. This makes it all the more important to know the history of resistance to repressive governments.

The TV show Murderbot in armour with the wonderful stylized logo helmet! The words “become UNGOVERNABLE” are overlaid…
I am absolutely loving the visuals so far!
Love Tommy Arnold’s description of “a Coach bag crossed with an oven” re the branding 😂
A friend made this—they’re not on BlueSky so I said I’d share…

Answering some questions: the series covers the first novella "All Systems Red," I'm a consulting producer, and we've been working on it since 2021. (So it seems fast from the timing of the announcements but it has actually taken a million years in me-time.)
Image of 4 illustrations of cats, each drawn in a different pose, each one drawn with only straight lines and angles.
Image of 3 illustrations of cats, each drawn in a different pose, each drawn with only straight lines and angles.
This image has been floating around the internet for years. It's from the book Design in Theory and Practice by Earnest Batchelder, and is available on internet archive. I HIGHLY recommend drawing some animals in this style, it's so much fun
Update: he has 8 tabs open, all to pages about volcanoes, so he can have accurate information in his Bluey story (Mount Fox is about to become a little less dormant) #writing #babysfirstfanfiction #bluey
My 8 year old is getting into writing. He spent 3 hours working on a story about Bluey. Put him to bed and he requested that I wake him at 6am so he can get back to writing #writing #babysfirstfanfiction #bluey
A line-up of Discworld characters, mostly of the Watch books. From left to right we have Sergent Detritus, Cheery Littlebottom, Angua, Carrot, Fred Colon, Nobby Nobbs, Sam Vimes, Lady Sybil, and Lord Vetinari.
(Discworld) The City Watch Books Character Designs.
Apart from the Death books, the Watch has been my favorite series of books by Terry Pratchett. There's just so many unique and interesting characters, that I had to draw them!

"Fuck ICE"
Spotted in San Antonio, Texas
I paid no more than 3 dollars for eggs up until mid January. Now they're over 7 dollars and steadily increasing.
I've got 3 days before I have to return Entangled Life by Merle Sheldrake to the library which means I need to look up as many cited sources as I can before then because the urge to learn even more about fungi (mostly mycorrhizal networks) is taking up more brain space every day #fungi #woodwideweb
Look, ma! We made it!
If you need me I’ll be in the forest eating rotten wood with my homies (mushrooms)
Because she's literally preaching the teachings of Jesus. You know, from that book Christians are always citing??
