The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Honestly it's probably for the best that they're debasing themselves in a relatively apolitical way, so that next time they say something with serious consequences, it doesn't have the same reach.

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u

Fun fact, today is also Mantic (character)'s birthday :3

Come to think of it, 2022 might have also been the first year I actively identified as a furry, but I'm not canonising that lol

If it helps, I think it's a very pleasant alien sona :)

PANEL 1: a tired pigeon sits with a little blue squiggle over its head. the caption says "i'm prone to negative thought patterns." PANEL 2: the pigeon stands up and grabs the squiggle with a 'yoink'. the caption says "i'm getting better at recognising them." PANEL 3: the pigeon triumphantly stares at the squiggle in their wings, saying "got ya!" PANEL 4: the squiggle grows larger and more angry looking. the pigeon panics and holds it at a distance, saying "uh oh! uh oh!!" the caption says "...but i still need to work on challenging them."

now what??

Have You Appreciated a Dragon Today? Every dragon has its day, thanks to author Donita K. Paul's creation of Appreciate a Dragon Day in 2004. Commemorated every year on January 16, Appreciate a Dragon Day is marked by activities at child...

Nope, sorry, that's National Appreciate a Dragon day. Too important

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way.

Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

kragehund-est on tumblr: "sex isn't sexy unless it's a little bit gross. have you forgotten that you are a divine ape? plastic smooth skin, plucked hair, painted faces, scripted reactions, scrubbed til only the smell of perfumed soap remains, proportions that are conflictingly cookiecutter yet unattainable, none of this is even a little bit interesting. you can laugh at napoleon's "home in three days, don't bathe" letter to his wife, but there's more sexuality in that one line then there is in the entirety of the hypersexualized but painfully unsexy internet." the-ghost-of-jetstream-tormod: "What are your thoughts on musk?" kragehund-est: "i hope he dies"

comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out

comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.

Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name. When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".
