Sigh. Marketplace has taken down a posting for Air Wair boots twice now because they're posted as Dr. Martens.
Who the heck do they think makes Air Wair? Lemme sell my dang boots!

if you’re not an artist with experience in studio environments it might be hard to appreciate just how much genAI feels like a conman claiming to have made a gun that kills artists and every ceo lunging for it and pulling the trigger a few times
learning the gun doesn’t really work isn’t a comfort

In "Unexpected Adventures in Gender Euphoria" news:
I was told yesterday that when I said "Oh god," I sounded exactly like Charlie the Unicorn just before being introduced to the concept of a magical liopleurodon.
And I can't stop thinking about that. 😂

The only light we had when Dan was assembling our tree topper was a flickering LED candle...
But I feel like it's pretty appropriate anyway.

If there's anything AI has done for me this year, it's awakened a hunger for person-to-person connection. Hanging out with a baby, going to see live theatre, eating food someone made, appreciating art from 200 years ago, from 800 years ago, from 10,000 years ago... Human creation is so wonderful.

the truth is before gAI we've been using AI scripts to automate repetitive or inefficient tasks just fine for decades, gAI makes those same tasks absolutely impossible or dangerous to do. it basically rendered decades of technology unusable. and it kills the planet and ruins economies as it does it.

AI automation =/= AI generation. the scripts to automatically transcribe voice to text or whether your party character prioritizes Attack or Defense isn't the same as algorithms generating randomized results out of an amalgamation of existing data. conflating them is intentionally misleading.

I haven’t had time to draw for myself lately, but I had to doodle meeting my first Pokémon partner after the realistic Pokémon teams thing went around.
I grew up next to a pond/provincial park that had a plethora of wildlife! But I’d absolutely have taken the shiny Wooper home.

Hmmm yes the week of a snowfall warning is definitely the time to have no furnace, yes, this is probably fine and good.
At least there's electric heat in the reptile room. I might end up moving in there for a while to chill with the snakes and geckos, they seem cozy right now.

Took my Dad and my niece to the movies on the weekend as a birthday gift. For three of us, the tickets alone were nearly $80 -- no 3D, and with child and senior pricing. Then there was popcorn.
Never mind that we had to wait weeks just for a single children's movie to even BE in theatres? Weird.

I don't think I can take another deep-dive on the mystery of failing movie theaters.
YOU'RE CHARGING TOO MUCH.
Lower the prices, and people will come back. We used to watch literally anything because it was so affordable!

If you could be given a boon from a magic item but it had to be like silly what weird boon would you pick?
Things like "+3 to Sock Matching" for example
or "10% increased chance of the next cat you meet liking you"
"+2 to Find That Thing I Was JUST Holding"
give me your silly but fun boons!!!
