last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

So the more bullshitty the job, the more AI is used. Sounds right.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Men At Work, Down Under
Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

CBC’s The Current: “Would you pay to move up the list for health care?”
Yes, obviously. That’s not the question you should be asking, Matt!
Pretty obvious that AB’s plans are just going trash public healthcare (just look at the UK).

On a warm summer's evening
On a train bound for nowhere

We were both too tired to sleep
So, we took turns a-staring
Out the window at the darkness

I first saw George Elliot Clarke speak at Laurentian U in 2002, where he said something that’s always stuck with me: “you can’t just read poetry in a boring monotone; you have sing it, preach it!”
Seeing him at the Parkland Conference this weekend, I’m glad to see that his fire hasn’t diminished.
