Sometimes, a good day is running miles first thing and splitting a tree down into a weeks worth of firewood all before breakfast.

Sometimes, a good day is putting the Rocky soundtrack on to psych yourself up to brush your teeth.

Jurassic Park. Asking the age-old question, are you more scared of dinosaurs or fatherhood?

Other, less middle-aged male perspectives also available.

Can't sleep, tried counting sheep.

My squirrel brain two minutes later.

I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
‘We’re going this way, that way,
Forwards backwards,
Over the Irish Sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
A Pirate’s life for me’.

We couldn't hear the sound of the neighbours' new drum-kit over the sound of our lovemaking.

In retrospect, we questioned his motivation for the new hobby.

Taking a break for my mental health. Look after one another and yourselves.

I want to stand on my own two feet, so I can be next to my loved ones and help them when they stumble.

It is already happening to artists and writers, their industry is shrinking because of AI.

Chainsaw artists are in a privileged position compared to the rest of the artistic industry, until grok can weild a chainsaw that is.

The Mediocre Chainsaw Carver @mediocrecc.bsky.social · Sep 4

..eliminate the artistic industry. Training its AI models on the art of the very people (without their consent or renumeration) who will be unable or less able to earn a living as professional artists.

AI in art is fine as a technical exercise. But AI shines in the sciences, it's own domain. I want it counting my cancer cells.

I don't want it being used by the greedy and uninspired to harvest every piece of art and literature ever created, every thousands of hours of human labour, so they can...

Art can only be created with emotion, earned from life experience, it reverberates through time and connects people.

No matter how technically brilliant AI art becomes, how indistinguishable from real art, it will always be inferior to a childs drawing, proudly displayed on their parents fridge.

Been very sad lately. But, we are monkeys, who went to the moon. I want to start acting like it.
