Found a set of cartoons I did from 2021 of “Asian-style Americans,” satirizing those so-called “Asian-style” recipes that qualify their ethnicness with the addition of an “Asian ingredient.”

Rather proud of these.

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

Each time I see the mention of Wild West that is the supplements market I shake my damn head. It’s “The Jungle” of our age

I’ve kind of been waiting for this story, protein-mania has reached fever pitch.

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 1d

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

The market has been so over saturated with protein products that it has become reliably off-putting for me. I avoid them, but only because I’ve done enough research about food from writing food features to know Americans don’t lack protein in their diets.

Consumer Reports is doing such vital work, I hope to write for y’all one of these days

Lord.

There are people who were highly offended by being called “deplorable” but I am sure they want grace extended to these folks for saying Nazi-loving things.

This is a rhetorical question. AI is a labor issue, and it’s ultimately a tool to further exploitation.

It is very strange when a big name artist demonstrates how “AI could never surpass human creativity and our penchant for idiosyncratic imperfections” but also says “this is why we should coexist peacefully with AI.”

Like????? If it’s not as good as humans then wtf is it for?

Just read a thread where someone criticising protesters for using pop culture references such as Andor etc (corporate media, after all) and then cited Lei Feng as a real-life person whose real-life deeds inspired true causes and I just don't know whether to laugh or cry.
