Someone found her original photoshoot in a Dove promo. My understanding of the explanation; it's a cake... made to look like soap... made by a company that sells soap... that smells like cake.

Also, she desperately needs some colour correcting on the lighting.

Washed out green tinted lighting, yeah; it would look reasonable if she'd been left in the washed out green tinted setting as our eyes adapt, but cutting her from that and surrounding her with warm pink and not colour correcting... yeah, she's green.

And parents and police both like to conflate the two so the message is "my poor innocent child was tricked" and not "my child was a bit reckless because I thought 'just say no' was adequate info and never taught her 'know your supplier, know what it is'."

Rarely, and only where it might get them more money in the long run. More commonly, kids get handed something by a friend at a party where they're already partaking and don't check what it is closely enough.

That connection doesn't happen with trick or treating, where nobody remembers which house gave what candy to which kids without extensive investigation.

(even the "free samples at schools" is overstated as to how often and how much, I suspect, but at least it really happens.)

Very much so. "Intentionally handing out drugs on Halloween" is bunkum.

I think the myth started because someone conflate Halloween candy with drug dealers giving "free samples" at schools to curious peers... where the person who got it *knows* who to buy more from.

Are JD Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson engaged in a "Lie-Off," where they must compete to see who can tell the most shameless lies the most relentlessly? If so, it's very competitive.

*Also* a union busting exercise.

Don't underestimate how much the racism and sexism and transphobia are real and ends in themselves.

"Perfect". I can think of a lot of imperfect people who don't have Nazi tattoos and didn't work for Blackwater. It's amazing how low the standards for perfection can get.

I'd like to see a *real* redemption arc featuring genuine atonement before I give someone with that history a Senate seat.

More of the studio session.

Mug of unfired clay, decorated with freehand 5 petalled flowers and 5 pointed stars. The base of the (somewhat rough looking) handle is marked with one of the stars.

Side view of the same mug of unfired clay, decorated with freehand 5 petalled flowers and 5 pointed stars.

Upside-down view of the same mug of unfired clay, decorated with freehand 5 petalled flowers and 5 pointed stars. The bottom has one more of the flower design inside the foot.

Three small animal heads of unfired clay. All are unfinished, but two are very rough with no detailing, just the generic shape (a bear and a bluejay) and one is a bit more detailed (a cat).

Yesterday's studio session.

A mug made of fresh unfired clay, with horizontal stripes, two of which merge onto the handle.

A bowl of unfired clay seen from above; the sides have been invented in three places to make an implied spiral shape.

The same bowl of unfired clay, now seen from the side with one of the indented points to the left side

The same bowl (though the camera lens makes the shape look a bit steeper) turned over and hrld in hand to show the bottom, which has a three armed spiral pattern.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Not everything, but AI, certainly. Name a product that should be kept on the market after the sheer scale of issues with AI, from legal to environmental to moral and, increasingly, psychological.

Public transit doesn't exist to make a profit, it is a public service. If you make it crappier so it doesn't meet people's needs, then charge more for it so fewer people can pay for it, *then* complain when fewer people use it, that shows a pretty fundamental lack of comprehension.

It's your assumption they'll care to even attempt to fix it that most astonishes me in your attitude. They should be *pulling it off the market* until it's fixed if they cared. That they haven't is plain evidence they really don't.

The people who think the government should be run like a business are killing something that has a 180% ROI. THAT is how you bankrupt a casino.
