My review of #StreetFighter (2026): Completely unhinged (complimentary). Hilarious (on purpose). Stylish - looks and sounds great. Fearless - knows exactly what it is. Campy (on purpose). Shamelessly homoerotic (complimentary)??

Also Noah Centineo as Ken Masters is as likeable as anyone has ever been in a movie. Walks a perfect line between cocky and insecure while somehow getting you to cheer for the guy the whole time.

Way too many people (on other apps) using AI to see what they would look like in the ‘80s. Not enough people playing dress-up. What happened to the art of playing dress-up. What happened to imagination

i dont know how to get this through to the true believers but i simply do not want to ask a machine to do my work for me. i dont want it to communicate with other people for me. i dont want it to plan my vacations or make my agendas or anything because all of that IS my life

Damn that’s crazy but you can’t be racist against the computer. Yeah. No I hear you but. Yeah it’s because it’s not a person it’s the computer.

A series of value studies I did of the PCs from an old D&D game. Watercolour pencil crayon on Bristol. Line work in acrylic ink. #oc #d&d #ocsky

Sometimes, all it takes is a few facial features and one little smug expression, and you already know there’s a kitten there. This is a work completed together by my lines and your imagination. #shouxinsketch #petart #animalart #illustrationartists #pet #sketch #sketchdaily

Back on my nonsense trying to learn digital art, like I attempt to do every few years. My character in a magical girls-themed D&D game, done in Clip Studio Paint. Definitely the most ambitious digital art project I’ve tackled. #oc #d&d #digitalart #magicalgirl

this always comes back to "the work is the work". There is no part of the work that isn't important. this comes up in creative writing "what if you just use AI for the tedious stuff" it's all the work, and all of it is part of the whole. abdicate any of it, and you have garbage.

I think writing your stories with AI so you can "focus on reporting" is both disrespectful to your audience and a guarantee that you don't do good reporting, because you're clearly not a fan of quality information. Negative levels of respect for people that do this.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
