An illustration man of medium complexion with slicked back hair and an aquiline nose wearing thick furs and with a sword slung over his back is seen from a low angle in what appears to be a cave. He has a lit torch in his right hand illuminating the space, orange and red light bouncing around a greenish tinted background. He seems uncertain as he looks around. In the background a spirit looms over him, threatening him. It’s a strange hulking creature with a massive back hump, a circular head that seems to have no face, just a sphere of energy and horns jutting from it. One arm is a reaching the fingered claw; the other is a writhing mass of tentacles. The figure hasn’t seen the entity stalking him but seems to be looking around as if he suspects something is there but isn’t sure as to what. He doesn’t seem scared, but he should be

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Two digitally illustrated characters stand under vibrant, multicolored lights. One character, with curly hair and wearing a sparkling red outfit with roller skates. The second character, with white-streaked hair, and a blue jacket, holds a glowing neon gun. Bright neon trails and sparkles swirl around them. Two digitally illustrated characters engaged in an action sequence under vibrant, multicolored lights. One character, with curly hair and wearing a sparkling red outfit with roller skates. The second character, with white-streaked hair, and a blue jacket, fires a glowing neon gun. Bright neon trails and sparkles swirl around them. Digital illustration of a warm toned skin character wearing a baby blue sparkling suit against a neon background. A colorful comic page with two main characters, one with rainbow, starry hair and vibrant clothing, and another with half-black, half-white hair. The background is pink and sparkly throughout. The panels depict a monologue from the rainbow-haired character, interspersed with supportive moments from the other. The rainbow-haired character stretches, looking thoughtful. Speech bubble: "I'm not that easy to be around... I'm okay most days..." Speech bubble: "Then come low lows." They are sitting up, animated and pointing. Speech bubble: "And I get annoyed a little easily... Maybe a lot easily." Second speech bubble: "But many people are annoying. So that’s not my fault." They are lying on the ground, looking exhausted. Speech bubble: "Then I totally crash out." Next speech bubble: "That’s my nonverbal time." They cuddle the other character, now smiling. Speech bubble: "But then I’m fine... and then I’m amazing." Speech bubble: "And then I complain a lot." Next speech bubble: "But then Eli will say something like..." "I think you were supposed to be a star in the sky, but thankfully the universe messed up and put you here with me.” Speech bubble: "...and then I feel bad, because I can’t possibly deserve that." Next speech bubble: "...and then I remember how lucky I am." Final speech bubbles: "And all these feelings... makes me a lot."

Stop using generative AI. There is no legitimate use of generative AI. There is no “I hate AI but this is ok”. Not everyone is using it. We do not have to “get used to it or be left behind.” Just don’t. Just stop. Delete the app. Close your account. Save some money. Take the first step.

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.

It's all fun and games until …

"Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC #ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries."

An art student ask me why I'd bother making entire books when prints are sold at the same price. A great question!

As an artist, books have allowed me to:
- reach a massive audience
- get my work in schools and libraries
- get invited to events internationally
- get a fat check :)

Studios and developers want instant financial success and cite media like Spongebob- a show that did not do super well in the ratings for two seasons and was granted a third anyway. This industry used to grant time and trust to let things develop, find a voice, find an audience, be marketed.

In animation we hear "We want the next Bluey". The cost of doing business used to be making a hundred shows to get a Spongebob. All the other shows? A lot will still make money, and the talent who worked on them could give you the next Bluey.

This makes me so angry - because this translates to "I too would like to make a lot of money"

But let's be real. You would not have published Balatro.

You want a lightning strike- fund 20 games. Fund 30 games. Fund so many damn games that maybe you find the right field to be struck by lightning.

I want to live in the timeline where we got a taco truck on every corner

(Story by @nessguerrero.bsky.social via Kottke)
Living in LA, I’ve lived in many a neighborhood in which police helicopters circle all day and they don’t do anything except be loud an annoying. You know what improved the morale and safety of my neighborhood in less than two weeks? A new taco stand. I’m 1000% serious. In general street food vendors on a block means more pedestrian foot traffic round the clock, if they’re open late, that’s more eyes in a neighborhood. Additionally in an area with many dark empty storefronts, literally adds light and vitality to the area. More of the neighborhood is meeting each other waiting in line for nearby tacos. I met people three houses down I didn’t know. It feels like we’re all only now getting to know each other, over a torta and some soda. They also posted up at a bus stop and out open until 2am. Meaning people waiting for a bus stop are not longer waiting alone in the dark. There’s a noticiable air of camaraderie, safety and enthusiasm. Street vendors did more for our neighborhood than the city ever did. City planners had left the area in disrepair. The vendors literally CLEANED THE BLOCK. THEY PICKED UP TRASH THE CITY NEGLECTS. I’m serious when I say in the area they posted up, it’s markedly cleaner. This is not the work of the local waste removal services. This is taqueros.

I'll start!

I'm Silvi and I love drawing character sheets and items. Here are some of the characters from my own worldbuilding project!
Character sheet for a woman with a long snake body from hips down and two pairs of white wings - big ones on her back and smaller ones about halfway down the snake part of the body. The sheet includes two alternative outfits for her, and her goldsmithing tools as well as a few pieces of jewelry she wears. A demoness character sheet, with golden horns and tail, additional outfits and two rabbit companions: Honeybun and Butterscotch. Character sheet for a minotaur-blooded character, including a back view, a main summer-linen outfit, three variants of travelling clothes, a portrait and horn profile, her favorite staff and brooch and a nude thigh-up shot showing off her vitiligo spots. Fit elf by the name Istvan sun Leishian, including his armor, diplomat clothes, his work clothes for carpentry, his favorite bow, cane and the jewelry he enjoys to wear. The reference also shows his two snake tattoos spanning his right arm and left leg.
