Speaking of art I've been doing. Getting the pastels to stick with old fixative is a bit of a pain in the rear but I'm really pleased so far. :)

#RobinHood #Disney #ItsTrueTho
Post from @NewGenderWhoDis Reblogging an image from @suhmoyed that shows a picture of Disney's Animated Robin Hood (1973) on the right and Nick Wilde from Zootopia (2016) on the left. Original post says "reject modernity and embrace tradition" Quote from @NewGenderWhoDis "These foxes exist in ideological opposition to each other and represent Disney's shift towards fascism. In this essay I will"

Republicans allowing Elon Musk to run amok with Treasure, Social Security, Medicare, and other citizen data is a stark illustration that, for them, the TikTok ban was never about protecting our data.

If you go to www.usaid.gov this is what you see.
On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST). For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming. Thank you for your service.

I used to work in chatbots. I used to write and design conversation flows for cs chat and voice. Now conversation design means data science, and I don't like that sort of work.

That's fine. What's not fine is this:

Image of LinkedIn chat: Kas Roth: I question the ethics of a lot of art and chat generation, I know it's an amazing technology, but the optics from my POV at the moment just make me worried for folks put out of jobs. Redacted: Those who can't work with AI will loose their jobs. But the software is getting more and more intuitive, most voice controlled So only r-slur will miss the boat. But they already do I guess
