Just a heads up, if you use AI "art," DM me asking for donations, or asking if I want to buy a commission, I'm gonna block you.

I fell asleep at work and a coworker walked in on me taking a snooze. I think I'm gonna run next door and grab an energy drink.

I either need a Mistborn trilogy of movies and a Stormlight prestige TV show, or for more people to read Cosmere books so I can see more shitposts about the series.

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.

Screenshot from Windows Settings>Privacy and Security>Text and image Generation.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 1d

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way.
Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto-

Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen.
Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic?

Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all.
Extremely realistic Green: Of course.

Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion.
Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag?
Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.

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.

The anachronisms in ASM: Torn are kinda annoying the hell out of me. There's people with smart phones, a comment about library contents being online, a comment about Gwen becoming a lawyer/cop, the use of the word "asshat," all in a story that's supposed to take place in the 70's.
