this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

When I am finally victorious and my ideological enemies thwarted, all who opposed me shall be lined up and dutifully distributed their equitable share of the rights I fought for and they so vigorously opposed, because That Was The Fucking Point
nah dawg this is petty as shit
these people got brainwashed with propaganda and fearmongering
wanting only people who didn't vote for Trump to survive is misanthropic and gross

Helped a neighbor dig her car out of the snow today. The aftermath was a brutal reminder that I'm not in my 20s anymore. On the other hand, I'm not in my 30s either. Send muscle relaxers 🫠

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.

I'm running a birthday game for my nephew later today and I convinced the kids to give my Magic of Friendship Warlocks a try. Each get a different flavor to their eldritch blast, and the more warlocks you get blasting at the same time, the more powerful they become as a group.
