Humans conduct experiments by putting mirrors in front of various creatures looking for the self-recognition that would inform us of the animal's intelligence, but then some grifters shove us into a hall of mirrors and we can't even recognise ourselves.

dear men: having healthy views on gender and all the expectations that come with it is hot, actually

Thank you very much for the honour! While much of the ogham in the book came from @stoutstoat.co.uk and I, so much of it ALSO came from our wonderful team of artists! There is ogham crammed into every corner of this book - can you spot them all? 👀🏺 (1/4)

Not a movie, but Call the Midwife.

@robwords.bsky.social do you know of any good pangrams that work for writing English in runes? The quick brown fox can't handle the thorns.

I've watched a lot of SciShow videos whereas I'm not so familiar with Carl Brown (Internet of Bugs) but I feel I can trust him a lot more than Hank Green when it comes to the tech behind AI™. I'm disappointed to see educators like Hank Green & SciShow parroting industry hype. youtu.be/1IQ9IbJVZnc

"But everyone knows what I mean when I say "bike"! While that may be true, when we talk about 'bikes' it's easy for many people to forget about those who need to use non-standard cycles such as trikes, recumbents and tandems.

Why the need for AI™ slop when the hand drawn sign already exists and synthesising a photo out of it just creates misinformation.

If you are an advocate of truth, science, evidence and accuracy, you shouldn't be promoting a software program designed to generate aesthetically-plausible text with zero connection to truth beyond chance How is this so hard for people to grasp

credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

The ethics of lung dragon ownership. Dragon conservation. The complexities of the knight-dragon relationship in a post-slaying society. These hard-hitting topics will be briefly touched on as an excuse to show pictures of adorable dragons in my upcoming art book! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jai...

Little guys, ready to travel around the world 🎒

What we found was one of the very worst examples of workplace abuse in the history of this industry. That may sound hyperbolic. I really don't think it is. Here's our investigation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR9H... (5/7)

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

A lot happened to me in 2024. While some of it was difficult, overall things have turned out for the better. And I got to draw a lot of interesting things! Here are some art highlights of the year.

It's only Artificial Intelligence if it comes from the Marketing Department region of Silicon Valley, otherwise it's just sparkling plagiarism.

If Bluesky wants to show it’s truly better than Elmo’s website, they need to take marginalized group safety seriously. Your silence is not neutrality, it is permission.

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba. I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share! 🔗 launchgood.com/1948

The #Pixelart Ocean.

I made this sketch for an idea I had a long time ago exploring the idea of the famous myth that sharks "smell a drop of blood in 2 million liters of water" and become uncontrollably frenzy. This scene depicts a distant event in the past history of my shark civilization.🦈✨

I thought that the dissonance was strong with the 'gamers' who are complaining about Sweet Baby Inc. brigading indie titles that they'd never heard of or cared about, but apparently the whole movement was started by someone with... concerns over games they'd never played. What even is 'gaming'?

this is genuinely my greatest fear about writing historical fiction. I'll spend a bunch of time researching, do my best, and some fucking chicken expert will be like "chickens are wrong"

ネオガラケーの絵！

Artists who take commish: there's a scam going around where people ask for a sketch, then ghost you and autocomplete your sketch with gen AI. It's been happening for a while, but this is the first video I watched that detailed how it's being done.

i don't know if i have time to do another Gobbins Week, but here's the crew from the last time i did this:

Rhinos that are and rhinos that used to be. I missed World Rhino Day again, but it's always a good time to post rhinos, right? Here are the (widely accepted) species of rhinos that are still extant, and those that went extinct recently enough to meet modern humans, drawn to scale.

Just posting to have something in my feed whilst I work thing out. Hello! 👋
