You again?
Above is Jacob Frey, Mayor of Minneapolis. Below is The Smiler from Transmetropolitan comic series saying "Care for your community. Because we can't do it for you."

Android users who used Google Assistant and are annoyed they auto-switched everyone to #Gemini I found out that you can choose to use Assistant as a default!

1) open Google app settings
2) Tap Digital Assistants from Google
3) Tap "Google Assistant"

#Android #Google #AIsucks
Android screenshot of Google app settings. An arrow points to the Digital assistants from Google options. Android screenshot of the Digital Assistants options in the Google app. Google Assistant is enabled. No more Gemini suckage!

I have a piece in an #art show at Modist Brewing. "This is Spinal Snap" is a skateboard deck with 3D printed worm-esque pieces and lots of paint.

Ravenscrodt Musicke Guild did a lovely rendition of Dragons Roost from Legend of Zelda: Windwaker

But I think that Link on stage is a Woodwindwaker. #CVG2025

Remember when the Internet was good? Me too. It isn't anymore, because of Enshittification. When a site changes their algorithm to maximize engagement so they can ensure people stay on the site longer. Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon have ALL enshittified.
A poo emoji with an arrow pointing up. Text reads, Enshittification, converting utility into futility for corporate greed.

#ICE is using a contractor called #ShadowDragon to track down people by scraping social media @404media.co reports. To the sites they are scraping, SHUT IT DOWN. Block IPs, file lawsuits, enforce your TOS. Do the right thing!
@bsky.app is listed!

I've been playing with some facial scans and doing some studies. #art #artWIP
A face, horizontally divided into bars, and skewed so that the face is shifted and off center. A face divided vertically and spaced. Sections are removed creating wider gaps. Side view of A face divided vertically and spaced. Sections are removed creating wider gaps. A webbed mesh face. Bright orange paint drops down, and bright pink paint pops through some of the holes in the mesh.

Want to support brands and companies that align with your politics?
"Goods Unite Us" ("GUU" on Apple) will tell you how companies lean based on political contribution and election issues, and shows alternative brands. It even shows TV and movies. Game of Thrones is GOP leaning! 😮
A screenshot of the Goods Unite Us app on Android. It shows Land O' Lakes brand with 37% of contributions going to Democrats, and 63% to Republicans. Campaign finance reform score is -53, with combined Contribution a level as Very High.

This is "Gaze." It is a 3D printed piece of #art made for an upcoming show at the Otherworldly Arts Collective Safeword art show in #minneapolis. The piece was made using a 3D scan of a live figure model, then the digital form went through extensive processing to become this.
CW: nude art
Front quarter view of Gaze. The upper torso of a female figure, made out of a medium pink mesh structure. The piece shows the shoulder, breasts and neck divided into 3 sections mounted to a board and hanging on a wall. Detail of the left shoulder of Gaze. It shows a close up of the mesh, a weblike pattern of pink lines. The wall and shadows from the piece are visible through the mesh structure. Detail of the right breast of Gaze. It shows a close up of the mesh, a weblike pattern of pink lines. The wall and shadows from the piece are visible through the mesh structure. Frontal view of Gaze. The upper torso of a female figure, made out of a medium pink mesh structure. The piece shows the shoulder, breasts and neck divided into 3 sections mounted to a board and hanging on a wall.

I've become known as the Banana (or Banana "Man," popularly) at the Art Shanty Projects. I made a character to make it easy to engage with visitors. It's been fun making dumb puns and just giving people laughs and confusing toddlers.
It's been a really fun season!
#minneapolis #mplsart #banana
A person standing on a snowed in frozen lake with a banana shaped stuffed hat engulfing their head. They stand in front of a large gate with an art shanty projects logo hanging on it. Oh, and there's a bright green crown sitting on the banana hat. The banana poses with two women visiting the village. A person is photo bombing and flexing his arm just over the shoulder of the woman on the right. The banana person bends over in a side stretch while doing Fro-gahhh, or frozen yoga. A banana and a person wearing a cat mask inside Cat World shanty. People around them play as if they are cats.

It's the final weekend of the Art Shanty Projects in Minneapolis. We are open and the snow is beautiful! Come on out!

#minneapolisart #minneapolis #art
A village of artist-designed ice houses on a frozen lake. There is a blanket of snow on the tops of each shanty. There are slanted roofs collecting snow, and colors popping in the distant white snow.

Hello new Blueskyers!
Let's talk about how to use #AltText!
When you post a pic, there's a button that says +ALT. You can make your image more #accessible to blind people by providing a brief description of the image. Write what you want people to get from the image. #accessibility
A screenshot of the Bluesky alt text pop-up. The picture shows Jake and Elwood Blues in the blues mobile, Jake is saying, "I hate South African Nazis."

If you see this post, quote it with a bridge from your gallery.

While browsing an archive of Nokia design documents, I discovered the Nokia Morph concept. Back in 2010 they designed a foldout screen smartphone and watch... This is the future I want.
A set of Nokia concepts, a tri-fold phone that expands to tablet size, a watch with a wraparound screen, and a hoop thing that might be an earpiece. All of them are in a pale green color with silver accents.

The ice at Lake Harriet is clear as crystal, and has really cool looking layers of bubbles! I took this over the weekend while installing the Art Shanty Projects! www.artshantyprojects.org #minneapolis
Ice on the shore of Lake Harriet. Large chunks have broken upward on the shoreline. The pattern of freezing make layers of clear ice and opaque air bubbles.

@wikimedia.bsky.social I hear some rich, hateful doofus wants people to stop donating. Here's what I think of that. Keep going! #wikipedia
A donation receipt to Wikimedia Foundation. "Thank you! Your generosity means so much to us."

I bought this iPod from FB marketplace last week, last night I cracked it open and put a 115GB SSD drive in there. It sounds SO GOOOOOD.
A 5th gen iPod playing Move In Silence by Phantogram. A shiny, purple, logo-free back of the iPod. Robin Williams meme with a big bushy beard, shouting "Listening to my iPod and checking my RSS feed. What year is it?!"

Hey #Art Imagine you couldn't see very well. Would you have any feelings around being excluded from the art work shown on #Bluesky? What if #artists used #ALT text description to describe the art here?
Pic 1: What low-vision and blind users experience
Pic 2: What sighted users experience
An image that is shaded and obscured and hard to see clearly. A Tibetan nun carefully sprinkles colored sand onto a table, piecing together a sand Mandala with red, yellow, blue, green, and white sand. Very intricate mounds of sand create the very holy symbol.
