The most corrupt president in history
Is selling pardons

How Trump Has Exploited Pardons and Clemency to Reward Allies and Supporters
The president’s second term has brought a flood of clemency for allies and donors — as well as felons, like him, who were convicted of financial wrongdoing.

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

'Glaurmir The Ancient' is my favourite painting I've made this year. It's a pretty special piece so if you wanted a really dreamy and calm dragon painting for your wall, then you could splash out. I can offer layaway payments over 3 months for this!

A peaceful scene of a swamp, with greens, blues and purples, a tree in the foreground and the head of a huge dragon visible resting in the water. A white heron takes off next to the dragon and it's eye is open.

Today's quick reminder: audiobooks created using Amazon Virtual Voice are the result of gAI and you shouldn't support any author who denies a paycheck to all the hard-working audiobook narrators out there.

And if you want a bit on how, it's about keeping the underlying drawing in perspective!

Breaking it down from a simple mannikin frame, to then building a drawing on to it, then refine to a render.

With a LOT of tweaking as you go to make the shape feel just right!

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together!

It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity!

So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖

us: Hi Google Scholar, could you stop deadnaming trans people?

GS: No, but how about AI?

us: No thanks. I just would like articles to not show my deadname.

GS: We can't do that because of reasons. But do you like synthetic text?

me: I don't want this. Let me change my deadname.

GS: but... AI!

All the violent insurrectionists Trump pardoned and all the white supremacists ice is hiring think both things made them untouchable and that Trump will save them again.

All the violent escalation happening will stop when more start getting re-arrested and the rest see that they're not protected

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say.
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."
