I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

My downstairs neighbors presumably have the same layout as me, so how is it possible they're slamming so many doors. I KNOW how many doors there are and where. Is it possible they have installed more doors. Structurally it makes no sense but I cannot think of another explanation. Are THEY doors

I had this idea from reading the elizabeth holmes mouse post and then I couldn't do anything else until i painted the idea to completion

It is a cartoon mouse, like Jerry from Tom and Jerry, shaped like a wedge of cheese presumably because it has eaten a wedge of cheese. The mouse has Elizabeth Holmes' face. The mouse is saying "Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that."

Nathan Fielder, looking into a fridge where the mouse has eaten a cheese, says skeptically "Okay. Alright."

Watched Lanterns this week and was like, "Hm, no, I don't think I'd be afraid if I got called upon." Anyway, just had to turn off the Annihilation soundtrack because the score when the alien shows up was too scary in my headphones.

Thought getting a quarterly subscription for fancy beans would make me a person who's really on their fiber game but it has only made me into a bean hoarder, like a character in a fable.

My algorithm has inexplicably been 51% Charlie’s Angels (2000), and I had to get some sketches out of my system, even though I haven’t seen the movie in decades.

How do transphobes have so much time. I'm barely getting by with 24 hours even when I feel like I'm not doing much. Even if one were to be like "NO hobbies, ONLY hating on trans people" I don't see how that would be enough. Is there like a Getting Things Done system only they get to learn.

Reading about Dolly's many honorable philanthropic efforts and thinking about how if I died rich, most of the people revealing I had privately donated millions to them would be like, "Yeah, Annie really wanted our niche alt comedy group to thrive."

There's a great podcast Dolly took part in called Dolly Parton's America about her life and work. At one point she talks about depression (can't remember if she uses that word), which caught me off-guard. I think about it a lot, with her public persona. Not sure what I'm trying to say. It's good.
