Sounds like they 'Digi-volved'

The Jester Crow @thejestercrow.bsky.social · 21h

Ironic, in that AI is probably shopping most of its answers off Wikipedia in the first place.

If the Wiki goes, what'll they cheat off then?

Hard to recognize an ICE agent when they aren't zip-tying naked children to poles or beating grandmothers in the street.

Makes a 'drunk-walk' look positively normal by comparison.

Depends on how low those approval ratings go tho -

Are they AI-enabled?

Will it porn-chat?

Can it be leveraged for a ROI over 10,000x?

Does it not token when Crypto'd?

Oh reeeeally?

That branch is $299 a night, mister - deposit required. The one higher up with the espresso machine is $599. We gotta budget "hostel" branch in the back where it leaks for just $99 a night. Comes with a stick. You'll need it because of ... well, you'll know when you know.

Say "I will not be party to a war crime" without actually saying "I will not be party to a war crime".

So long as he completes the Rites ➕🖤 and makes obeisance 🛐🩸 every 30 days before the cock crows twice🐓🔆, the Compact shall hold and his thread "stretched" 🧵 just a little longer.

Is it just me or does the sign-language interpreter look like she's having the time of her life translating this part of the speech! 🤣

If you think the problem in this city is that my rent is too low, vote for Andrew Cuomo.

If you know the problem in this city is that your rent is too high, vote for me.

Oh, that wonderful opening he did for "Mystery!" on PBS. Iconic and without peer. I miss it.

The brevity of the modern age cost us a lot of good art. It's hard to imagine an animated production today that would even try to reach for something like the opener to "Batman: The Animated Series."

There's always a price to be paid ...

That's why they liked him.

It was the feature, not a bug 🐜

100% ChatGPT convinced the guy to post this because it told him he was the biggest Chad that ever Chadded and it would love him forever if he did. 💋

The truth can be obvious once you see it.

Seems silly but sometimes seeing the Thing that's directly in front of your face & has been there the whole time is the hardest part.

The question is, do you choose to stay blind once you've seen it?

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

I would guess a tall set of false shoulders, judging from where the arms disappear & how they hands are bent-up. So your eyes are prolly about level with the black cloth right below the white shirt.

The white draws the eyes away from a pair of black mesh peep-holes right beneath.

Why tho?

"Ancestry", sure, but it seems like a very awkward and unnecessarily complex system for an animal that prioritizes light weight & high efficiency over all else.

"1921" as in it was minted that year or just stamped with that date in more recent times to add a vintage feel?

I'm just gunna say it:

"ChatGPT" diving into porn smells like an act of desperation mixed with techbro dreams in a balled-up wad of kleenex.

Ditto for Elon & "Grok". If Teslur is THAT CLOSE to full-auto robotaxis, why u baitin lonelyhearts instead of crossing the finish line?

The difference is that BlueSky has actual people and Twitter has mostly bots which populate more rapidly - but vapidly.

Congress was stolen by cash. 💵💰🏛️

It belongs to the 1% and the debates we see there are the grandlords of society jostling for better seats.

It's odd how we can so adore a dog yet act so cruelly towards their kin and kind.

Is there no room in human world for wild things?

The Jester Crow @thejestercrow.bsky.social · 2d

... perhaps because of the Horseman's tattered attire and "dragging foot". It has a sense of decay and the spectral about it. Corrupting the horse's face a bit would compliment that character and the sense of them both being supernatural.

The Jester Crow @thejestercrow.bsky.social · 2d

It's an incredibly strong image. Fantastic use of shadow & void to hide the features of the Thing while still revealing it. Absolute scene-stealer against the hazy autumn tones behind.

If it goes to paint, consider giving the horse a skeletal face. Something about this seems to "call out" for it.
