A reminder: if you see someone shoplifting food, water, baby formula, diapers, tampons, etc. etc.

NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T.

Millions going hungry is a national emergency, like hurricanes and earthquakes. Withholding life saving resources during these types of emergencies isn’t just a moral crime, but a legal one.

Why is this not the same? I would simply put out a flyer for a ‘grocery store take over’ party in Barstow.

@stindle.bsky.social I made biscuits tonight from a recipe in an old tweet…

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..." "not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..." "...you're rich. If you have, whatever-" "- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

I had a tummy ache after my friends wedding last night and went to bed early last night with pain meds. Stressed cuz I have so much work.

I don't think I've woken up actually rested in a month. The pain meds forced me to actually sleep.

Maybe I am slowly destroying myself. Maybe.

Well. The US is a relatively young country so that’s hardly surprising.

I am grateful for my job, ofc, especially in this economy, but...I'd like to work on a feature film before I die.
I wanted to like... direct my own show or movie. I wanted to create, and lead. Or at least have a voice in production. I'm too old for it now but, at least I can draw my little blorbos

The campaign of convicted felon Donald Trump understands it’s shameful that convicted felon Donald Trump is a convicted felon so they’ll try to cow reporters into *not* calling convicted felon Donald Trump a convicted felon, but convicted felon Donald Trump is, factually, a convicted felon.

Via Vincent Proce on Twitter (@vproceart) some hope vs the Ai glut

(repost to add alt text)
Text: Artists Against Generative Al. Posting this on behalf of a member who would like to remain anonymous: I'm an art director and supervisor for a large studio. The studio heads had the bright idea before I started to hire prompters. Several bros were brought onto the film project. I absolutely hated myself for not quitting on the spot but stuck with it because it's mercenary out there. Have a family to feed etc. I decided to use this time wisely. Treat them as I would any artist I had hired. First round of pictures of a sweeping Ariel forest landscape comes through and it's not bad. They submit a ton of work and one or two of the 40 are ok. Nearly on brief. So first round feedback goes through and I tell them about the perspective mistakes, colour changes I want, layers that any matte painting would be split into. Within a day I get 5 variants. Not changes to the ones I wanted but variations. Again. Benefit of the doubt I give them another round of Text: the doubt I give them another round of feedback making it clear. Next day it's worse. I sit there and patiently paint over, even explaining the steps I would take as a painter. They don't do it, anomalies start appearing when I say I want to keep the exact image but with changes. They can't. They simply don't have the eye to see the basic mistakes so the Ai starts to over compensate. We get people starting to appear in the images. These are obviously holiday snaps. "Remove the people" "What would you like them changed to?" "... grass. I just don't want them there" They can't do it. The one that can actually use photoshop hasn't developed the eye to see his mistakes, ends up getting angry at me for not understanding he can't make specific changes. The girl whose background was a little photography has given me 40 progressively worse images with wilder mistakes every time. This is 4 days into the project. Text: I'm both pissed about the waste, but elated seeing ai fall at the first hurdle. It's not even that the images are unusable, the people making them have no eye for what's wrong, no thicker skin for constructive criticism and feedback, no basic artistic training in perspective and functionality in what they're making. Yes the hype is going to pump more money into this. They won't go anywhere for a while. But this has been such a glowing perfect moment of watching the fundamental part fail in the face of the most simple tasks. All were fired and the company no longer accepts Ai prompters as applicants. Your training as an artist will always be the most important part of this process and it is invaluable. I hope this post gives you a boost in a dark time. (A pic of text reads 'this machine kills Al' above an arrow pointing to a pencil)
