p1: Autumn is leaving the bathroom. p2: A visage of God appears before Autumn. To the untrained eye, God resembles a milk carton. God: AUTUMN WINTERS. BEHOLD YOUR GOD. p3: Autumn beholds their god. Autumn: Wow, the real God! Are you appearing in a familiar form so that my mortal mind can comprehend you? G: No. Now listen p4: God floats ominously, showing off the cute cow face on their front. G: You have been chosen to spread an important message. One only you can share. For you-- and only you-- have discovered… the true way to wipe. p5: Autumn points at themselves cautiously. A: Wait, you mean… I’m the only person who does it like that…? G, off-panel: Correct p6: Autumn starts flipping out at the non-plussed God. A: In the whole world? What’s everybody else doing? I can-- I can adapt! Please, I have my whole life ahead of me! G: You must not. You have a responsibility, Autumn. You must set the world on the true path. p7: Autumn contemplates the weight of being as God continues their commandments off-panel. G: Go forth, Autumn, and tell everyone of your special technique. Friends. Family. Coworkers. Tell them all how you wipe, before it is too late. You God commands it, Autumn. Go now. Go. Go. Go

panel 1: “I just wasn’t made for this world.” panel 2: “Have you seen the people who think the world was made just for THEM??” panel 3: “They’re the ones who no one would miss.” panel 4: “Whether you were made for it or not—you make the world a better place—so thanks for being here.” “Now let’s get you some plants and furniture in here, brother.”

made for this world

The folks in the comments asking “do they really think we want this slop?” No, but the studios do. That probably why this video tries so hard to look/sound like a K-Pop Demon Hunters / Disney-adjacent number.

I’m sure some deeply uncool people will be into it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tilly Norwood Music Video ‘Take The Lead’ Released By Particle 6 Particle 6 releases the Tilly Norwood music video ‘Take The Lead’ addressing AI backlash.

To me this just proves that it doesn’t matter if you have humans in the loop so long as the top-tier decision-makers have zero taste.

stop fukkin doxxing me and get out of my house

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Is Spotify Enabling Massive Impersonation of Famous Jazz Musicians? How did trumpet legend Nat Adderley become a white guy playing with a three-handed bassist?

Already exhausted by this stuff and it’ll only get worse until it happens to someone with access to lawyers.

An Instagram Q&A by michaelsweater Question: How to draw even if you’re bad at it? 1. DO IT ALOT. 2. GET BETTER AT WHAT YOU ARE THE WORST AT. 3. TAKE MORE ADVICE FROM ATHELETES THAN YOU DO FROM ARTISTS 4. DONT WORRY ABOUT BEING THE BEST. JUST GET BETTER THAN THE
WORST PROS.

Seeing lots of art advice on here recently so I’m sharing these thoughts from Michael Sweater (not on bsky I guess?) that I think about a lot.

“Just get better than the worst pros.” 😚🤌

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Thank you to all the people who are good at talking about random things for hours.

GARFIELD ONE! TWO-THREE TWO-THREE!

The worst thing about aging is that all of your favorite restaurants have been closed for at least a decade.

roko’s inverse basilisk: one day, we will have poured so many resources into a machine that it will become intelligent enough to tell us we wasted them

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Selenitic, by OneKilotonSun track by OneKilotonSun

This tune was going to be part of a concept album inspired by the Ages of Myst. I had a plan to write a song for each Age, but "Selenetic" was as far as I got. #bandcampfriday

imagining a caveperson getting super annoyed that they can’t make the bison look right. they’re crumpling up the whole cave and throwing it away. makes me feel much better

What’s the Point of School When AI Can Do Your Homework? The creator of the AI agent “Einstein” wants to free humans from the burden of academic labor. Critics say that misses the point of education entirely.

Maybe I lack imagination but I’m not sure “automated my learning to the point where I learned nothing about the job I want to have, nor any interpersonal skills” is a compelling pitch.

Some might use this to get a degree but never interview because they’re doing a startup or getting hired by Dad.

For ten years I’ve been mistakenly included on an email thread of parents planning their kids’ softball practices. No one ever responds when I ask to be removed, so I’ve given up trying. I just mute the convo.

Today, Gemini decided to provide a “helpful” summary of the thread I always mute. 👍✨

Reminder: chatbots don’t think. They predict the words a human might say.

Panel 1:
A person stands by a window by a pink Christmas tree and a box of decorations. They hold a string of lights and say. A voice from off-panel says, “Guys, look! The time has come!” Panel 2:
The person lifts the Christmas tree and starts taking it away. More off-panel voices shout and jeer: “OMG! It’s happening! It’s finally happening!” “Ha-ha yes! Buh-bye!” “Back to the attic with you!” Panel 3:
The person carries the box away while the voices repeat “Yes. YES.” Panel 4:
The window area is now filled with houseplants instead of the tree. A spider plant in a hanging pot in the top right corner of the window says, with emphasis, “Finally.”

The crew is back in rotation.

I hadn't used it for almost two decades and just kept moving it around the room. Recently it tipped over and f banged against my ankle. I prefer to think of this as it's way of saying "if you're not gonna play me, give me to someone who will!"

So long, buddy!

An ashiko hand drum.

A photo of myself and Laurie performing as the Walkingbirds sometime in the 90s. We are onstage against a black backdrop. Laurie is playing an acoustic guitar while I am drumming away on an ashiko hand drum.

A few days ago I gifted away the ashiko drum I used on my records, going all the way back to the Walkingbirds in the 90s.

I don’t regret it but it felt right to mark the occasion. 🪘

Oh man.

Magnolia.

STILL angry.
