be wary of any fresh accounts 2024+ with no traceable history, instantly posting bangers and setting up print shops.

they tend to interact with the fandom in only a vague, cursory way. they usually won't have any named OCs either, as most ai is pretty bad at consistent character design.

I been invited to a friend's place and one kid was doing AI on their tablet. Told them that it's bad and the father asked me why. Explained and also said real art have more soul.

He wanted to make a dinosaur playing basket-ball, I drew this for him. They loved it so much, the dad paid me in the end

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Here is a zoomed in view of the radar along the S shore of Lake Michigan tonight.

Likely some multi inch per hour snowfall rates and potential whiteout conditions as this band moves over Chicago metro & adjacent areas.

Good thing this is occurring overnight & not during a major travel period.

Fascinating interaction of #wx scales near Lake Michigan tonight.

A Lake Effect Snow #LES band streched N-to-S across the lake, but a potent vortmax dropped in just west, providing large-scale ascent & changing morphology of band into a mesolow, enhancing #snow over #Chicago & Indiana tonight. 🌨️

I am not the first person to mention this, but the fast #ERC evolution feels similar to the work in Fischer et al. (2020) documented in rapid intensification and ERC's of #Hurricane #Irma.

In particular the 2nd ERC event where intensification continued.

Here is a zoomed in radar version of 28 Oct showing #Melissa 's inner core evolution before #Jamaica landfall.

Radar evidence some type of fast eyewall replacement cycle, #ERC, occurred. Eye went from 10 n mi to 15 n mi on VDM fixes & more intensification occured after ERC.

Horrible for Jamaica 😞

Annotating a long 3+ day loop of #Hurricane #Melissa from Kingston, #Jamaica radar.

2️⃣ periods appear where an eyewall replacement cycle, #ERC, looked underway. In both cases, inner eyewall stayed intact & outer bands merged, resulting in a larger eye & strengthening after.

A remarkable evolution 🌀

I’m gonna stick to these hypotheses below on why we didn’t see a more traditional #ERC with #Melissa.

Certainly in contrast to both #Erin & #Humberto this year which both underwent more classic eyewall replacement cycles.

bsky.app/profile/pppa...
Speculation on my part but my hypotheses:

1) Residual mid-level shear of 15-25kt kept rainbands from forming on Melissa’s W side. Despite symmetric core, 34-kt radii was very asymmetric due to shear/convective asymmetry.

2) 30-31C SSTs moistening BL dry air n/ core preventing inner eyewall decay.

Re-upping this thread, but like a month ago, #Melissa peaked in what is thought as a less favorable intereseasonal base state: Convective MJO envelope in maritime continent w/ suppression over NATL.

Recurring theme - NATL 2025 TC activity occurring out of phase with typical favorable MJO phases. 🤷‍♂️
