It's not so bad it's good. It's so bad it's fucking offensive to the very soul of art.

You could do the funniest thing and start a beer at Christmas to put out in February in full Christmas theming.

Well, maybe next year. In fact, I'm having a wisdom tooth extracted next week...

@eleanormorton.bsky.social has been murdered?!

It doesn't matter which team they play for. If they get embroiled in heinous shit, let them fucking burn. Don't defend them because they're in a less objectional party, decry them because they should be less objectional people.

Don't be so hard on yourself, you absolutely have a career. Just not a "conventional" or "lucrative" one.

I nearly said "Cheap at twice the price" then realised that might give you ideas.

Bargain.

If I bang a handful of tickets onto the next order for work, do I get them at trade?

Here, I believe you dropped this- 👑

It's wonderful. You continue to delight with your many and varied skills.

In the best possible way, I fucking hate this.

I think so? If it helps, the person who mighty have been you was walking down the hill past the student flats just past the Regent in Abbeyhill. And I was walking this idiot, he's a lot more memorable than I am.

I wish I knew enough about both the works of Arthur Conan Doyle and the works of The Darkness to make a really good joke about him believing in a thing called love.

Oh, boo fucking hoo. Nobody was villifying you, they were (myself included) pointing out that generative AI is trained almost exclusively on stolen art, and using it perpetuates that business model. Your decision to take that as a personal attack speaks more to your fragile ego than anything else.

Well, that's not "you had to see it" then is it? It's "I chose to generate some AI slop and share it, then get defensive when people called me out for this being a poor decision".

We don't though. AI art is industrialised theft, deny it the Oxygen of attention.

He then acted outraged and demanded
"Why's it such a big fuckin deal to you anyway?!"
I was good, and didn't openly laugh in his face, but I did point out that I'M NOT WHITE.
