It's been about a year since I got my hands on the physical copy of my first ever published story, and it's wild now seeing my monster come to life in a couple different ways! Thanks again @oddoblivion.bsky.social they're perfect! 😊

Stepkid just toasted some naan and slathered it with French Onion dip.

ME: …is that…good?
KID: It seemed like a good idea so I tried it. It’s heaven.
ME: …

*Five Minutes Later*

ME: Oh shit, this is kind of amazing.
KID: I KNOW RIGHT?!

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

What a badass. Just when you think you can't love Bad Hand Books more, you learn something new like this. 10/10.

Still one of the proudest moments of my life. You can do a lot with a bad hand--even resign from the ad agency that demanded you stay quiet about Kristi Noem's abuses of power when she was governor of South Dakota.

artists, show us how you draw black women 🔥
a black ballerina with vitiligo wearing a gingerbread dress covered in frosting decorations. The background is pink with snow falling and a banner at the bottom reads Gingerbread "A black woman in a dress made of crystal chains to resemble a spiderweb dangles a jewel spider from a gold chain. Text reads ""Spider""" Smiling woman in a white dress surrounded by orange poppies. She has keloids on her chest and natural curls A woman poses in a sheer gown in starry space orbited by planetary rings. The piece is entirely green

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.
Post from Art Director Bill Robinson on LinkedIn saying: Welp, it finally happened. I was hired to work on a MAJOR live action Hollywood film (and I mean it’s one of the biggest anticipated films of the year). They needed a small animated sequence and wanted a character designer. I was handed a ChatGPT image and told “make it different”. I did - I spent hours finessing the design into something better and more specific for the character in the film. Waited a week for notes - then was told they got clearance from legal to use the original AI image instead. No need for any further work. This is what the director wanted. What are we doing as a society? What’s the endgame here? Replace every human until we are all homeless? I just don’t get it. If a major Hollywood film with a huge budget doesn’t see the need to work with real artists, is there any hope left?

A reasonable discussion about AI would come to the conclusion that this tech is damaging to humanity in virtually every way a tech can be damaging.

But I'd rather have an emotional discussion and point out that this tech is shit made by assholes, and it stole from me, personally, so fuck it.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

Smart people have already written about the many problems of generative AI better than I could, but I’ll tell you this about the thing I know: writing is about writing. It’s an action. A verb. It’s what we do. I write, you write, they write. Skip that and you’re not a writer.
