Emphasis on *doesn’t need batteries*

All that and you don’t need to talk to it.

A Day in Class With Plato, the Melania Trump–Mandated Robot Teacher The first lady told us to imagine a future of humanoid instruction … so I did.

this may be my magnum opus (I know I say this once or twice a year but this is definitely one of those times)

She must be squeezing him hard. How can I draw that?

Must be somewhere... The lines I'm looking for.

There's a correct placement for those lines.

If I can find them, I can show the "squeeze."

As a recovering perfectionist, this rings true.

I’m not sure what incentive people have for posting generated images of events people saw Live (and could easily debunk), for clout? Followers? On BlueSky?

Credit to a ‘Science Tube’ should be a dead giveaway.

Oh, good! But yeah, why the heck are they hidden?

The head feathers fanning out suddenly a few times struck me as odd, as you think the bird would be relaxed while doing this. Regardless of the threading techniques.

Skimming the comments it doesn’t appear anyone realizes or admits to it being AI. There’s no reason for a video like this to exist when real documentation does exist.

It’s getting to the point where you should be skeptical by default, especially of videos uploaded in the last year.

Solid thinking, whole-heartedly agree. The original stories took a myth-like approach in structure and character. Operating mostly as archetypes. And it worked. It was a kids movie! Made a sorta complicated fantasy world pretty easy and fun to experience.

Wow! I’ve never seen these. Sort of the opposite (so detailed!) but powerfully imaginative. And deeply weird!

Still love the Monster Brain’s blog. What an incredible resource.

We got my son a few castle books for his birthday. One of them illustrated by Stephen Biesty I think. I'm reading over it with him and it's so clear I will never use the internet for anything castle-related ever again.

Realizing now this is a violin, but you get what I mean. Ha.

Search for 'diagram of a guitar' and you get something like the left image. Pick a book from my kid's library stack and you get the right. (I now know to grab said book or search 'The Way Things Work' for most mechanical questions I have)

My son and I keep taking out books like these from the library and every single time I'm thinking 'the internet doesn't even have close to this wealth of visual knowledge'.

Then I think, 'well... maybe someone has scanned them somewhere'. But your average google image doesn't even come close.

Of course!

Bush’s Beans?

Love the colors, the characters and shapes, and especially dig the top of Bilbo's hood poking up between Tolkien's name.

I haven't been on IG consistently in ages, but whenever I step into the pool I'm shocked that level of advertising blitz is tolerated by daily users.

I’ve seen a few of these Artemis tracker sites pop up but the thing that’s annoying is none of them are using JPLs API to pull in real data. So I’ve created my own version that does with some sci-fi flare of course.

Just looked up a few pages from the book and you weren’t kidding. Some very nice and at times strange looking trees though!

Ha! That’s sort of what I’m trying to do now. Nail down a method and approach for a story that takes place in a forest.

My whole life I’ve been mindlessly drawing ‘good enough for the job’ one-off trees. Pretending that I know what I’m doing.

I’m 46 and I’m just now figuring out how to draw trees.

That’s what keeps this interesting.

The enjoyment that comes from drawing characters over and over doing cool and silly things is the point.

It’s playing, and recording it as you go.

Of all the kids I’ve watched drawing stories and comics, not one of them *ever* looked up and said “Wait, I have to keep drawing the same characters over and over?” or, “There has to be a faster way of doing this.”

The bottom cross section looks kind of like a cake!
