I feel like when people talk about the superiority of man made art over AI slop they tend to focus too much on the mystic of it and not enough on the fact that for a lot of artists the process is made up of a long series of complex and meaningful deecisions that a robot sucks at making.
Talking about how historical inspirations for fictional settings 🧵 I was shared an artist's post about a design they created claiming to be inspired by a specific bit of history, that ended up not at all showing through in the final picture. This is not uncommon.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Any government worker: Yeah most of our records for that time period were lost or destroyed in the move to the new building.

This is incredibly dangerous and willfully so. They’re choosing to put this person at great risk, and many of the people participating are contractors along side cops from both sides
Last night, Border Patrol & Fisher Industries, with the cooperation of Mexican authorities, cut down the tree sit platform and safety lines, leaving the tree sitter stranded 100’ off the ground. She has no water or supplies.

Honestly I saw a tiny fragment of a Chucky movie that was playing at a movie store and that scared the hell out of me And then later, in a DIFFERENT movie store years later, I saw a frightened cub scout shiv him, which eradicated that fear

15 years ago when Apocalypse World was new and people were beginning to understand and work with it, it was seductive to look at "acting under fire" and see, not one basic move of several, but the template underlying all the game's moves. Like @kierongillen.bsky.social 's classic gag:

PSA: "Dark Sorcery" is a bit different from my other AU side comic, "Dark Science High," in that you don't actually have to have read Dark Science to pick it up. It's a fully contained dark fantasy miniseries! dresdencodak.com/2026/09/20/d...
