Do I hear that Leonie stock is on the rise?🦁

The inspiration for the Mascot Platformers cover was actually this Japanese artwork for Ballz. Here's one of the earlier versions of the cover where you can see the comparison clearly.

This comment made me consider a consequence of AI in terms of brain health. With the rise of shortform content, there are talks about whether it is negatively affecting our ability to focus. With the rise of AI, I wonder how brain health and cognitive abilities will change in the long term.

I have family history of dementia on both sides. They say it skips a generation, my maternal grandmother and my great aunt had it...SO... As hard as it is, working on the comic for me is a good thing. It allows me to problem solve. As I go, I'm learning how to make it better. It's good for me.

Day 20 -- Spiced Though humble in appearance, a single deep woods spiceberry could be brewed into hundreds of cups of tea.

If generative AI is a tool of fascism, and it is, it means making any art, no matter how good or bad it is, is an act of rebellion. Keep making art.

The funny part is that they probably couldn't use the cover as-is since it wildly misrepresents Ballz so it's just a small image on the full box

average republican scandal: this politician is a child rapist funded by Russia. average Mamdani scandal: he played basketball with his friends in a court he had permission to use.

i swear i’ve received more than a dozen ai-generated book promotion scam emails in just the past 24 hours. i fucking hate ai.

I dug into this and it's not Generative AI. It's plug-in tools built into DaVinci Resolve to do artificial depth of field and parallaxing on images. This is stuff docs have been doing for decades and has since been more simplified with pre-built tools.

Fun news! I'm doing some artwork for the Murderbot graphic novel adaptation! Just a little bit of art, but I am thrilled to be included! I love Murderbot very much. 🥰

After having been ordered to surrender his passport and not leave the country, Bolsonaro has reportedly fled Brazil on a private flight to the United States. Buddy boy better hope he's got somewhere else to go after 2028, because his ass will be extradited ...

So, on Sunday we went to see the Halloween parade, and of course we had Dexter with us, which I was worried he'd get scared, but wee man was utterly transfixed. Photo source: Darachphotography

Day 19 -- Insect "Oh, ummm, actually, I asked for LIGHT ants...? I'm watching my chitin intake, haha..."

I didn't realise this had become a meme template XD

anthropic's exploding lol it went public, we find out the company's debts are like $650 billion dollars. It's valuation was based on like a ton of IOUs. a week ago those IOU holders were selling them off. in china right now, the bubble is very much popping and $450 billion vanished overnight. hm

It’s funny how Elon Musk can just turn off a country’s internet and has more power than most nations and that news just kinda fluttered past us. Like I’m sorry I think that goes against the rules of humanity, I don’t think that should exist, I think Elon Musk ought to be extremely and graphically mu

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

This little piece of shit "wehhh veilguard/woke killed bioware" DISTINCTLY AND OPENLY, FACISTS KILLED BIOWARE AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM WHAT DID IT. So, when you wanna toss around blame for the death of bioware? It's this whiny baby-ass face you wanna put it on. BIGOTS KILLED BIOWARE.

The pettiest hill that I will die on is that if your cool character in a historical novel is rolling their eyes at social conventions, no they're not, eye-rolling didn't become a widely described gesture in English literature until the *1980s* books.google.com/ngrams/graph...

That's what I mean, sorry, the poisoning effect is easily bypassed. Putting a 1% Guassian Blur on a "poisoned" image renders it useable again, for example. There's very little proof those filters affect the data

I was watching video clips of Americans talking about experiencing Canadians regularly saying "I'm sorry" and it struck me what the actual disconnect is. So many Americans see it as Canadians prostrating themselves, but really it's a cultural attitude of collective respect.

Replies to this are fascinating, because there's a bunch of accounts created in Nov '24 who keep wanting to engage with the original pretense of the article and completely ignore the point that she's not actually just an everyday farmer. You gotta follow the conversation above the conversation.

If I win the lottery I won't be talking about it...but there would be signs.

I want y'all to know that I am Abraham going on a nice father-son field trip with my beloved son Hajun to Moriah to make an offering to God. HAJUN: The fire and wood are here. Where's the lamb for the burnt offering? ME: ...God will provide the lamb... :)

Doubly WTF considering that the God of Abraham is supposedly omniscient?? So whether Abraham is faithful or not is something God would already know. And he makes Abraham traumatize his kid anyway. So it's just God being a huge cruel troll. (Imo)

When you realize the stock market isn't focused around successful business but about ensuring your investment increases in yield on the basis of its perceived value, it starts to make more sense that the worst companies have the biggest valuations.

working hard as letters to the vampire queen entered the race to the final stretch goal, the one that adds last 5 additional illustrations and a free audiobook narrated by Autumn Ivy to go with every book 9 days to go. we'll see if we can reach this! fingers crossed!

Why would Cornel West, a man who serves on the board of a far right education group with Christopher Rufo, do this?

Included in blunders are Jonah as a sidekick (one of the best characters in the series) and the 2013 reboot (one of the best games in the series) Not listed as blunders -- spending a decade being advertised on the covers of magazines like FHM and Maxim as a digital pinup model.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!
