24. Code Master Lens [High Code Master] #rebootober #reboot #codemasterlens #inktober #rebootoberchallengemode

Got my Covid booster and flu shot yesterday. On top of making me very tired, the ouch on my arm made it very difficult to sleep last night. I am exhausted… The cherry on top? The girls have a professional day today, which means no school. So they’re just home with me. 😑 Still, get vaxxed, nerds!

Dum-E and U have been some of my favourite characters in the MCU since day one. I love that they’re finally getting their due in VisionQuest.

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

I wish I were friends with James Spader so I could call him Jim or Jimmy in front of other people and they wouldn’t know who I was talking about for a second, and then they would realize I mean James and be so jealous of our closeness.

‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

As long as these corpos are using gen AI to steal from real artists, then as far as I’m concerned, nobody really owns any intellectual property at all. So I’m gonna make the stuff I wanna make and just ever so slightly change the names and ideas to make it legally distinct. But you get it.

So as I said before, fuck the corpos. And while we’re at it, fuck the shareholders too. Fuck all of it and go make cool stuff and share it with your community and forget about these stupid oligarchs and their bullshit. Spend your money with real artists making real art. 🙌🏻🔥🙌🏻

For real. Fuck the corpos. Every single day I get more and more disenfranchised with this system. Cool people create something worth sharing, lame people see a way to exploit it, they buy it, cut out the cool people, make it lame as fuck, and then get mad at us for not wanting it anymore.

But here’s the fun part: they don’t actually own anything. We just have all these rules that were created to protect the cool people, but we’re co-opted by the lame people to keep the cool people from keeping control of their stuff. But then they appropriated gen AI and broke all that, so who cares?

I cheated today. He is “technically” a Web Rider, tho… This was actually super fun to draw.

no one over 40 is gonna buy this because you can't play a bluray in it and no one under 40 will buy it because its going to cost $1200

PlayStation 6’s memory costs alone exceed $680 per console, it’s claimed, potentially suggesting an unprecedented price tag for the next-gen machine. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/playsta...

Transphobia is really just homophobia with a fancy hat on. And it’s all just the negative effects of the patriarchy keeping us repressed, depressed, and angry so they can use capitalism to steal from us. I don’t know if I have a point beyond that… I just think it’s stupid. Fuck the patriarchy.

It’s such a fucking privilege to drop my kids off at a school where I know they’re safe and well taken care of. I really try not to take it for granted. Not everyone is so lucky.

Did they just never teach boomers about grammar? What is that thing where they just post incoherent, rambling brain dumps on Facebook? It’s a very generational thing. It’s different from Gen Z’s intentional lack/misuse of grammar. There’s still logic there. But boomers just post word salad.

BTW, these are not dumb people I’m talking about. They’re professionals. They can hold a conversation. They just post like they failed third grade.

I literally cannot help myself.

Because October wasn’t already busy enough! Listen, I don’t decide when these ideas take hold of my brain, ok?! Anyways, a little treat coming on Halloween for all the little tabletop ghoulies, gobbies, and ghosties.

Bluesky is for thoughts/ideas. Instagram is for pictures. Tiktok is for dancing/recipes. Threads is for being mean to strangers. Facebook is for schadenfreude. X is for Nazis. I will not be elaborating.

I met up with some fellow Smallville fans today to check out a couple of filming locations with them. They’ve all flown in from all over the U.S. to see this stuff… it’s all within 30-45 minutes of my home. I really take it for granted that I live in Smallville/Metropolis/Star City/Central City 🤣

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

Spared no expense! I really should have been working on other stuff tonight, but this has been bugging me for about a week or two and I needed to get it out. Should I make stickers?

FYI, the last 30 minutes of the fourth Disney Channel Zombies movie is not the ideal place to enter the franchise. How the hell am I supposed to know that the girl in purple with white hair is an alien cheerleader?

Who is still buying all these Funko Pops? Genuinely… have we not all had our fill yet? Like, I’m not saying they need to go away or anything… I’m just wondering how they’re sustaining the sheer volume of releases.

People will say something like “I wish I were anywhere but here” as like, a hyperbolic way of saying they are uncomfortable or whatnot. But you wouldn’t want to be a lot of places actually. I would not rather be anywhere… I would rather be somewhere else specific that is not where I currently am.
