I have no idea why this is doing numbers but I posted because I just got this book.
I am interested in colored pencils but all online tutorials are fixated on waxy, wrist-killing photorealism and I like pencils to look pencily.
This book is perfect for me.

The return of extremely skeletal bodies for women as a norm is deeply concerning.

What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

The origin of zombie fiction, like the origin of fae, is fear of a powerful amoral monster entrapping its victims into doing its will
It's interesting that as corporations became exactly that all-consuming all-deceiving monster, zombies and fae lost their original themes of enslavement and contract

Like we see how this end point might have been avoided had we not let behaviorists dominate the narrative about the autistic rather than say the autistic, right?
Here is something we could do: what if we stopped being fucking weird about autism
We can laugh about how stupid this is, but at the end of the day, a not-insignificant number of parents will believe the CDC and refuse to vaccinate. And some of their children will die because of it.

It’s a bit funny to me when folks accuse anti-AI artists of “gatekeeping.” My dude, Midjourney charges you $60 a month for images, while real artists remind you that you can make it for free and experience the joy of the process. So who’s really gatekeeping?

I’m sure they pay more than the going rate to their staff, given the importance of their work for humanity. 🙄

“The Sam Altman-founded company behind the ‘Orb,’ a volleyball-sized metal sphere that scans irises to prove people's humanity, had a message for employees: work weekends and ignore anything outside your job — for the good of humanity.”
Sam Altman's eye-scanning Orb startup told workers not to care about anything outside work
Tools for Humanity CEO Alex Blania said that "if you should care about something else, and if you want something else, you should just not be here."

Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.
As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

Reminding everyone that when i contacted Valve Steam about my username having my deadname in it.
They immediately let me change it, they usually don't but they do for trans people.
It made me so happy that i could keep my account that i have had for a long time

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

A Full Moon is always a Sun/Moon opposition, a New Moon is always a Sun/Moon conjunction, the Quarter Moons square the Sun, etc.
The reason why we have Moon phases at all is because of the angular relationship between the Sun and the Moon. And astrology is the study of those relationships...
