Compilation of a full-body shot of my vtuber model along with a bust shot. The model depicts a tan-skinned bard drawn with shoulder-length dark in a modern art deco style, with a large poofy purple beret that has green feathers attached to it with a pink plum flower. They are also wearing a purple and cyan gradiant vest with belts to hold a hurdy-gurdy on the back, a poofy white shirt, black pants that are tucked into bands at the knee, and simple brown boots. The image also depicts a sleek logo of the name Qichin adorned with pink flowers. The art and rigging was done by Marocaron. An upper-body shot of Qichin in a relaxed lean in front of a background depicting the nonbinary flag colors. A photo of a hurdy-gurdy (a medieval string instrument with a crank that turns a wheel to play the strings and buttons to produce various notes) with the poofy bard beret from the model digitally added to it, making it look like it's wearing the hat The Yippee/TBH creature wearing Qichin's poofy bard beret

I've slept now after making a lot of the requisite calls. As I mentioned, my father passed away in Pennsylvania yesterday from a combination of aggressive cancer and CPOD, unexpectedly quickly. We'd only received the diagnosis of cancer a couple weeks ago.--

Child with undiagnosed mental health disorder: “hey, I think I have a mental health disorder”

Parent with undiagnosed mental health disorder: “oh, everyone is like that”
A black-and-white stick figure comic shows one figure peeking around a corner holding a drink, asking, “are u ok.” The other figure is lying face-down on the floor surrounded by a mess of papers, a laptop, and a knocked-over chair. That figure replies, “no i can’t stop thinking about who i could have been if i was given mental health treatment when i first asked.”

a left pale hand holding up a pair of dangly earrings between the first two fingers. the earrings each hold a string of three bell shape flower glass beads that are almost translucent and purple and blue lavender gradient colours. just truly beautiful the way they shine a beautiful pink necklace on a black velvet bust made with a variety of pink beads. they are mostly 8mm round beads but some are sandwiched between 3/4mm beads of various textures and shades of pink. the beads selected randomly whilst creating. they are beautiful! mixed brown handmade glass bead, titanium chain necklace on a pale neck. this delicate autumnal piece features 6mm faceted rondelle glass beads in colour ‘amber lustre’, 4mm glass bicone beads in colour ‘champagne’, and 4mm round beads in colour ‘amethyst’. it makes for a stunning brown, earthy, neutral gleaming mix. they are connected to each other with titanium wire loops and alternate between the 3 beads. the closing is stainless steel jump rings, extension chain and a lobster clasp. skin friendly! a pair of dangling red charm earrings held up by a white hand with blurred posters in the back. there is a 4mm frosted siam bead which connects to a larger, stretched thin triangle siam red bead held with a stainless steel headpin with a loop. made using glass, titanium and stainless steel

Let me tell you a story. Perhaps you can guess where this is going... though it does have a bit of a twist.

I was poking around Google Scholar for publications about the relationship between chatbots and wellness. Oh how useful: a systematic literature review! Let's dig into the findings. 🧵
The Psychological Impact of Digital Isolation: How AI-Driven Social Interactions Shape Human Behavior and Mental Well-Being Felix Eling 3697-3705 Apr 30, 2025 Education The Psychological Impact of Digital Isolation: How AI-Driven Social Interactions Shape Human Behavior and Mental Well-Being Felix Eling Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Pharmacy, Gulu College of Health Sciences, Gulu City, Northern Uganda DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.47772/IJRISS.2025.90400265 Received: 13 March 2025; Revised: 22 March 2025; Accepted: 25 March 2025; Published: 30 April 2025 ABSTRACT The increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in social interactions has transformed how humans experience companionship, communication, and mental well-being. This review examines the psychological impact of AI-driven social interactions, focusing on virtual assistants, AI chatbots, and digital companions. It explores the benefits, risks, and ethical concerns associated with AI companionship. A systematic review methodology was employed, detailing inclusion criteria, databases searched, and analysis techniques. Findings suggest that while AI can offer emotional relief and support, over-reliance may disrupt real-world social bonding. Ethical concerns such as data privacy, emotional manipulation, and regulatory gaps are highlighted. The study underscores the need for balanced AI integration in human socialization. The study also addresses gaps in previous literature by examining AI’s influence on different demographic groups and cultural contexts.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.

Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.

This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs.

There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

Panel 3: , back to full warm shading, the dog and person are back indoors as the dog prances away looking back at her. "Sister, it is cold, do a couch wiggle instead." Panel 4: the beagle is upside down on the couch wiggling.

Superman did actually go after slumlords in the golden age. I just updated the dialogue here ta reflect that all landlords are scum, not just the slumlords. Adam Smith agrees with me.

(Art sampled from "Action Comics" Vol. 1 #1 by Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, and Vincent Sullivan. Edits: Dialogue.)
Three comic book panels. In the first a landlord, in a robe, slippers, and a sleeping cap, shouts at his door, "You can't come in! This is private property, and I'm the landlord!" In the second panel, Golden Age Superman stands outside the door. He says, "Landlords have no purpose but to oppress the tenants! Time to open up..." The final panel shows Superman knocking in the door and rushing the terrified landlord. Superman says, "To the knock of revolution!!" A watermark reads "A Kilowog-core Edit".
