As always, Asha is the best -- especially for those who think visually!

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

> What I've enjoyed about editing for other people is that my form of subtitling tends to be unorthodox. I like animating the words or emphasizing how one talks. If I'm going to do burn-in subtitles, I might as well try to visually represent the dialog. I do wonder if this makes it less accessible.

A visually impaired great horned owl was found dumped at the roadside, sealed in a bag with her feet zip-tied. Suffering from head trauma and severe infection, she may not survive. The person responsible must be found. Demand justice. link.ladyfreethinker.org/owlhelp

I too, love having long passwords that I occasionally have to enter blindly on a mobile screen with "keys" that have no tactile feedback for which key I'm touching where, in hands that require 2XL gloves.

Can't imagine how much more it sucks for the visually impaired, mobility impaired...

True. What more do people want? What more evidence do they need?

If he walks like a duck, swims & quacks like a duck, face it. He’s a Nazi. No matter how many American flags he hugs.

Can’t wait to be back at your wonderful bookshop - where I spent so many happy hours when I was doing my PhD at #UCL! - to launch this at 6.30 on Monday 9 March… All welcome. It will be a fast and furious, entirely visually-based event!

one thing it would be neat to see in a visually impaired character with light sensitivity is that the daylight saps my energy like i am a vampire. i look out of a window and 1 i cannot see shit 2 i get floaters really bad 3 i genuinely feel like i am going to pass out. sunlight makes me so tired.

But nobody is visually naive any longer. We are cluttered with images, and only abstract art can bring us to the threshold of the divine.

That paired with my selective approach to shading and color leads to visually interesting texture in my art in my opinion!

visually i think my colour work and lighting has come a long way, and some of my greyscale rendering for materials has been really good. tbh i'm good at not dwelling in the imposter syndrome which i think is one of the reasons i'm able to continue pulling myself out of burnout rn!

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

Enter judgment routers. Agents that have the 'signing authority' delegated from the so-called human in the loop. Being able to see visually on a dashboard what's been approved, what's in a queue and being able to send upward or downward things that need escalation vs things that can be greenlit

Stairs (Stairway to Hell)

#staircase #magma #darkfantasy #aiart #synthart #generativeart #promptshare #AIイラスト #qpsfw

Created in #Z-ImageTurbo for #QP
A top-down view of a colossal spiral staircase descending endlessly into a bottomless obsidian pit. Jagged volcanic walls surround the staircase, with glowing rivers of magma cutting through black rock, casting red-orange light and deep shadows. The scene is rendered in a chaotic, high-contrast graphic novel style with heavy inking, rough cross-hatching, and distressed textures, creating a vertigo-inducing, oppressive atmosphere. Image Prompt: Stairway to hell. Top-down vertical view, camera positioned directly above a bottomless obsidian hole. A colossal spiral staircase wraps tightly around the jagged inner walls, descending endlessly into darkness like a stairway to hell, repeating spiral elements creating a visually recursive, infinite descent. Rivers of glowing magma cut through fractured black volcanic rock, casting harsh red-orange light and deep shadows. Heavy black inking, aggressive linework, visible brush strokes, distressed textures, smudges, ink splatters, rough cross-hatching, paper texture overlay. Graphic novel illustration, underground comic style, 90s dark fantasy comics, raw and brutal perspective, high contrast, epic scale. Inspired by Zdzisław Beksiński and dark graphic novels. Infernal, oppressive atmosphere, chaotic composition, extreme vertigo.

As much as I would normally agree… the official statements coming from the gov’t are blatant and visually provable lies. All factchecking will not be settled until this is over and only by whichever side comes out on top.

We are officially in “shoot first, ask questions later” territory.

On the other hand, some of my FAVORITE things

How easy it is to access cosmetic variations of blocks and furniture/building items

Joining my friend's world is super easy

Combat is fun

Ores are visually distinct and appealing

Felling trees from the bottom

Pulling crafting items from chests

No frantic action scene one after another! I can relax when watching the show and don't have to worry about missing this or that callback or Easter egg - there's time! I love the soundtrack (the hints of "Ilia's theme!" 🥲) and the show is visually beautiful. 2/3

It's frankly insane what Retro pulled off.

So many games will be visually compared to Prime 4 now that we know what's possible on Switch 1 & 2!

My time in Key West and the Florida Keys sparked my creativity, leading me to create these watercolor paintings.
#KeyWest #Art #Watercolor #Paintings #FloridaKeys #Photography
A cool, watery calm fills this coastal watercolor. In the foreground a low, ochre-brown spit of land juts into a glassy aquamarine sea; a single windswept tree leans outward from that shore, its sparse foliage painted in loose, lively strokes. Beyond, a thin ribbon of deeper sea separates the viewer from a tiny, distant islet crowned by a small cluster of green trees. The horizon sits low, which lets a broad, brooding sky dominate the upper two-thirds of the image — layered grays and blues suggesting an approaching storm, while paler shafts of light hint at breaks in the clouds. The colors are muted but richly blended: sea-greens and turquoise melt together, the land is warm in contrast, and the cloud bands have soft, atmospheric edges. Overall the scene feels quiet and contemplative, with a gentle tension between the stillness of the water and the restless movement implied in the sky and the angled tree. A subtle signature in the lower right anchors the composition, a small human touch in an otherwise spare natural tableau. A wide, tranquil seascape rendered in soft watercolor washes stretches across the image. Horizontal bands of color define sky, horizon and sea: a pale, cool blue sky melts into a luminous strip of greenish-blue at the horizon, while the foreground water is a translucent, warm green. The paint is applied with gentle gradients and subtle texture, giving the whole scene a breathy, suspended quality. Near the left of the sky a muted sun or bright moon peeks through a thin veil of cloud, its light diffused so that it never becomes harsh. The clouds are whisper-thin, horizontal strokes that echo the layered composition and reinforce the sense of calm. The sea itself is nearly glassy — broad, horizontal strokes suggest shallow, moving water rather than choppy waves. A single, small sailboat drifts to the right of center. Its sails are crisp and white against the soft washes, catching an implied breeze; the hull is a deeper teal that anchors it visually to the water. Because the boat is diminutive in the wide expanse, it reads as solitary but peaceful rather than lonely, a quiet human presence in a vast, open landscape. Overall the image feels minimalist and meditative: restrained color, open space, and delicate brushwork combine to create a serene, contemplative moment — as if time has slowed and the only motion is the lazy glide of that lone sail across a calm sea. A wide, calm seascape rendered in soft watercolors: the painting is built from broad, horizontal bands of color that stretch almost to the edges, creating a sense of vast, open space. The top third is a cool, layered sky — pale to mid blue with subtle washes and slightly darker horizontal streaks, suggesting thin clouds or the wash of atmosphere. The middle horizon is a very thin, bright line of white that crisply separates sky from sea, anchoring the composition. Below that, a luminous expanse of green occupies the lower half. The green is clean and vibrant, shifting gently in tone as if the light is moving across shallow water or coastal marsh. The watercolor application is loose and wet, with soft edges and faint variations that give the surface a quiet, living texture. Off to the right, near the horizon, stands a small, delicate lighthouse. It’s rendered with minimal, almost architectural lines — a slender, skeletal tower with a darker top — so small that the scale emphasizes the surrounding emptiness. A few tiny white birds drift above and to the right of the structure, tiny punctuation marks of life against the vast sky. The overall mood is one of stillness and openness: the composition uses negative space deliberately, letting the broad bands of color breathe. The restrained palette and gentle gradations create a meditative, slightly melancholic atmosphere — a moment of quiet at sea where the horizon feels endless and the lighthouse is a lone, patient sentinel. The scene is a quiet, tropical sunset caught at the moment the sun slips behind a distant line of palms. The sky is a deepening canvas: near the horizon a molten band of gold and tangerine blooms outward, while higher up the blue cools to indigo. Scattered clouds, edged with fire, catch the last rays and throw them back in dramatic streaks that fan across the sky. Along the low shoreline, a cluster of palm trees and low structures stand as ink-black silhouettes, their fronds sharply outlined against the light. To the right, a thin pier or row of pilings punctuates the horizon, a rhythm of dark posts that leads the eye into the glowing distance. The water mirrors the sky’s mood — rippled and textured, it takes on bronze and navy tones, each small wave picking up flickers of orange that seem to float and drift toward the shore. The foreground is in shadow, a restful counterpoint to the luminous band across the horizon. The whole composition feels hushed and intimate: the hush of evening, the gentle hush of water lapping at the land. It’s a moment that holds both warmth and coolness, the last breath of day before night settles in, inviting a pause to watch light fade and colors deepen.
