BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

for @olukaa.bsky.social for the #Marvel616 Steve/Tony discord's stocking exchange. vaguely for the #identityporn prompt, also inspired by LMDs, sentient armor, and the color scheme of the gorgeous Darkhold #IronMan issues

show me how you draw men #fanart #marvel #hannibal #spn

a digital water-color style drawing of Dean Winchester, asleep or resting in an old-fashioned office chair. he's surrounded by books with titles relating to death and angels. in one corner is a stack of file folders, the top of which is labeled "Orpheus." in another corner is a stack of 3 binders with the labels: "Cas"; "Empty"; and "Angels." He wears a black fitted tee that rides up a little near his belt, a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of black lace-up boots.

A digital watercolor-style portrait of Hannibal Lecter as played by Mads Mikkelsen in NBC's "Hannibal." He sits with one leg corssed over the other in a leather armchair with furred legs ending in deer hoofs. He wears a black suit with a red line poattern, a matching waistcoat, and a teal tie with orange spots that matches his socks. His shoes are oxblood-red dress shoes. His shirt is pale yellow. His bocket square is chartreuse. In his mouth is a black and white bird with a red marking on its chest; it is a red-breasted grosbeak.

A watercolor-style portrait of Iron Man in the comics Extremis armor. The background is solid orange. The inner outlines of the suit are glowing gold. Around Tony's waist hovers a bright white circle of transistor shapes.

A watercolor-style portrait of comics Steve Rogers in the nude. He holds the Extremis Iron Man helmet over his groin, suggesting that this may take place during the Superhuman Civil War. He gazes down at the helmet. He has large biceps and a round, juicy ass. The composition is inspired by the 1902 painting "Germanic Warrior with Helmet" by Osmar Schindler.

It's #PortfolioDay. I'm Allan, a sort-of-retired but can't give up drawing. So here are some recent pieces of work showing that I still draw old stuff after a career illustrating old stuff & occasionally doing what I did professionally.

#ArchitecturalIllistration
#drawing #pencil #watercolour

Pencil and watercolour sketch of a three storey house with black and white painted walls, a doorway with slightly projected porch at the head of a stairway and bow window to the principal floor.

Pen drawing of a metal tub on small wheels, from a former copper mine, used as a planter in front of a building with a six-panel door and sixteen-paned window. Metal baskets hold other plants and there is an old weighing machine at the corner of the pavement.

Cutaway drawing of a building used for unloaded railway wagons and transferring lime into horse drawn carts and wagons.

Pen sketch of a bookshop with bookshelves outside under an awning. Another shop next door has a large window filled with a lattice shop display.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

People advocating against peace without strategy or tactics do not want you to *win*. They want you to be delegitimized.
