While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

always hard to tell when sticking to a vision will pay off, but it does pay off sometimes

been thinking about the amount of time ive been working on my current project. mainly out of concern that it may be taking too long 😰😰

important thread with details about the wikipedia ai news that's going around
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

Exactly.

e.g. when I posted about Rovina’s Choice, the documentary on how the destruction of USAID is actively killing people, I mentioned how Hanlon's razor does not apply to fascists. It doesn’t apply!
Idgaf whether it's evil or incompetence. The result is the same. Fuck the debate.

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.

“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

ICE is in the Northeast Bronx (my neck of the woods). They went into the Edenwald Houses. If you're in the area, be safe and don't open your door!

hi it's me the weirdo who does not do caffeine of any kind
Confession: when I find out that someone doesn’t drink coffee, I think they’re a little weird. Not super weird? But a little weird.

I often think about Jonathan Cooper's posts about TLOU2, that the studio ran out of seasoned game animators because its reputation was so bad and thus had to hire film folks who had to be taught how to put games together.

I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

BREAKING: Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife has made a “transformational” donation to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. This large gift comes just months after the Trump administration shut down counseling services for queer youth.
