Reality is pretty fucked up, wouldn't seeing some incomprehensible cosmic deity be sort of reassuring

lady wearing a shirt that has been badly edited to say "I joined BlueSky and all I got was blocked by the technical advisor who tried to cool his phone off in a pool and also this jpeg of a t-shirt"

In my mental image of this the eyeballs pop out like those squeezy stress toys

Donni relatable as fuck honestly

Made basic beginners guide to using the camera in storyboards. the gist being the camera is for revealing information & telling the story. Obviously there's exceptions to this, but when you're just starting out trying to get these ideas down first before moving on to crazier dynamic stuff.

1/4

Would love to see like Proper Official Introductions to all of them!

A digital illustration in portrait 1:2 format with a skeletal hand dressed in silver rings reaching down to touch a rotting fig held in another's hand, wrapped in it's molded interior is a decayed moth. Pouring from it is primordial liquid death that fills the elf's readily open mouth, overflowing with substance and lips stained, streaking through his skin and marking his throat with a black diamond-- claimed by death and all His vitae he consumes so that he might Know death more intimately. Hisdress is black and white, draped in ghostly white hair and black lace like a ghost attending his own funeral.

Drink deep. Revel in rot fermented from the primordial; consume readily these sumptuous victuals, this putrefied wassail, sublime His vitae.

guess who just got yelled at

This is cool and I want to do one later.

"everyone is 12" vs "everything is The Onion"

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

CSP screenshot with two canvases. One is an overpainted photograph of a traditional pencil/paper sketch, the other is a digital sketch. Both show elf character Liirem lying in a pool of blue blood with his hair floating around him, and weird little made-up flowers floating on top.

what if I flipped him upside down

Drowning meme, showing Bluesky leadership paying attention to AI while the codebase drowns, and why's phone dead at the bottom

4 panel comic Panel 1: A Purple person is standing holding a clipboard. A Blue Person sits at a laptop. Blue Person: Woohoo. I’m the CEO of a social media platform. Panel 2: Purple person: We should hire a PR person to interact with the public Blue Person begins to type on laptop and says: Nope. Gonna do all that myself Panel 3: Purple person looks concerned and says: Really…but… Panel 4: Purple person: You’re such a whiny little fucking baby

I learned recently that it’s an insult in Germany to call someone “hobbyless” or to engage in “hobbyless behavior” and it’s become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.

Frankly this is hilarious. I reported them, why not. Idiot.

Funny thing is, there's also a list to block specificslly the people who use that list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

A screenshot of clearsky, showing that the bluesky staff member, who goes by Why, has subscribed to only one blocking list, one made by a known troll that searches for users that are against ai and add them to this moderation list. Why @why.bsky.team Blocking 310,708 total users via lists @antiantiai.bsky.social Anti "Anti-AI" Labeler 3 hours ago AI Haters Subscribes to anti-AI blocklists or otherwise seems poorly disposed for productive conversations.

Lmao when a staff member subscribes to a block list made by a troll account and ends up blocking 310,700+ users, all because the majority of the users of bluesky hold the rational opinion that ai is total shit and shouldn't be used for any reason.
Ai is ruining the site, and the world.
Fuck ai.

Little dog walking away from camera on the beach. Not as cute of a photo this time.

It appears the issue is fixed for now

You're welcome

Little white dog in orange reflective coat running and looking at camera on a cloudy beach.

I hear Bluesky is failing to process images and I wish to increase their suffering; here's my dog

I regret to inform you that this is me

I'm joining a Changeling game and these reference photos were exactly the right vibe for my character Souphands #ctd #csp

closeup of Souphands the Redcap talking during a photo

line art and flats only.

image with all the reference photos (mostly from Pexels) including two drawings I did earlier and a picture of my own feet.

Closeup, flats, all the reference.

I wanted to try to stick close to a reference photo--I don't typically do that--but as usual I ended up wanting to change too much. I couldn't find foot references without veering into "feet pics" and ended up photographing my own feet in a mirror to get it right.

Shitty 3 panel comic scribbled on a water-damaged sketchbook page by a human with a pencil Panel 1: AI stock market ticker line or whatever is going down. A little guy hovers in the air and very angrily flips off the line with both hands. Panel 2: AI stock market line breaks through the bottom of the panel as little guy flips it off like even harder. Panel 3: AI explodes in an explosion as little guy continues flipping it off real hard but little guy is malicious smiling now. Anyway that's how I feel about all this LLM slop

AI as a Fascist Artifact (This is a bit of a merger of two talks I recently gave about fascism and AI. One was in German at the Cables Of Resistance conference, one in English at the Milton Wolf Seminar on Media and Diplomacy. I added some shots of the slides I used as a structure for the text which […]

In which I argue that "AI" as we understand it today is a structurally fascist artifact.

i love living in the first village of an rpg man. friendly neighbors, music is chill af, we even got that one kid we adopted into the village of whom the ancient prophecy was written about. anyway there’s a big ceremony tomorrow can't wait to still be alive after it

Oh no I can't recall, one of the anti-AI ones. I worked for Time Inc at one point and recall debating with the other graphic designer between two variations of a graphic that were literally one pixel different. Now they just take whatever slop a robot gives em! 😔

Ich geposten sugoi style

Unironically these are also my three languages so this is like one of the top reasons I'm following you. My German is shit (日本語も下手) and it's super nice to get to practice occasionally.

(We were interviewed for the same article once; i was anonymous lol)

Found the sketch i did for this one. Originally I wanted to paint all four of our old fan characters but then I spent all my time cathartically destroying the castle instead lol.

I'm going to recycle the characters into original stories, you should too. Rescue your OCs, Harry Potter is over!
