Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

Funny how we all just “have to” accept AI as progress even if it’s janky and either has demonstrated no improvements to productivity or outright tanks it, but we never had to accept remote work despite every study showing it improves productivity AND workers lives.
Hmmmmm

AI “art” is immoral. If you use it, I can’t respect you.

My theory is the evil people in charge know they're evil. That's why they're obviously miserable even though they spend a lot of effort trying to convince everyone (and themselves!) they're actually having a good time

To derive pleasure from hatred is to revel in dishonor. A true warrior knows that hate is a source of misery, not of glee. Resist those who take delight in harming others, know hate when you see it, and may you forever feel the righteous joy of standing against it.

#trektober Day Twenty One: Goth
For this prompt, I thought to myself, "What character is most likely to have or have had a goth phase?" And then I drew Rok-Tahk anyway, because I thought it was funny.

My mom got me into Trek when I was a kid and most Trek fans I know/ encounter are women. And the lead of my Star Trek show was a woman, as was the captain of the ship. So shut the fuck up.

#trektober Day Twenty: Starship Kawaii
Part two of my being an old man who doesn't fully grasp the prompt. Now I'm kinda disappointed there isn't third on the list so I can make a bit of a trilogy.

#trektober Day Nineteen: Cozy
I don't think I'm a person who puts much stock in being cozy, and not much from the franchise stood out in my memory as fitting the prompt. Then I remembered Picard's affinity for tea and books, things that are also comforting for me.

#trektober Day Seventeen: Sad Scene
There are a lot of scenes that would have worked for the prompt, but I was eight years old when 'The Measure of a Man' was broadcast, and seeing my favourite character get turned off in very dramatic fashion was quite affecting.

I didn't want to just draw a warp core, and was struggling to think of way to approach the prompt that was interesting to me. Was already well past the past the "deadline" when this came to me.

#trektober Day Fifteen: Era Swap
I guess it's less a swap than a time travel situation, but I didn't want to just draw one character wearing the uniform from a different era, and didn't have time to do something a bit more complex, so this is what we've got.

#trektober Day Fourteen: Ghost Ship
Thought this was a funny gag. If the Enterprise can deploy an inflatable decoy of itself, like it does in 'The Practical Joker', you can't tell me there isn't a possibility it might be able to drape a giant sheet over itself.

I think the character Ch'Rega, from 'Prophecy' is a lot of fun, and even among Klingons, she has a very distinct look; the hair stylists back stage were trying some stuff out, and I think it worked.
