Finally watched the original The Omen. I have to say it's a bit of failed writing that Gregory Peck never has to answer for or confront completely gaslighting his wife for years. That's the kind of stuff that, marbled into the immediate supernatural threats really makes horror.

People who become right wing because they get annoyed by leftists are weak willed, most leftists are annoyed by leftists every single day.

Marx’s Labor Theory of Value states a product’s worth is determined by the level of effort required to create it. People intuitively understand that a thing made without effort isn’t worth their time or money.

I've been a little underwater for weeks. Lots of deadlines, IRL responsibilities, joining the fight against the Data Center project in town, community engagement, and some pretty cool projects for friends. It's been a lot. Not exactly tackling it with grace but here is hoping it comes together.

www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/l... Reading this Des Moines Register article was a real pain. They basically start selling the AI-generated T-shirts on behalf of the Iowa State Fair. THEN they just equivocate AI image generators to any "computer program". Such a shit take. Smh

Should people be able to use AI to win a design contest? An Iowa State Fair T-shirt contest is facing that debate. Here's what the finalists think.

something horrifying has come to me in a vision
a venn diagram where the three circles are "no one can afford graphics cards," "running out of IP to remake over and over," and "ongoing strangling nostalgia effect," and the central overlap is "upcoming AAA "demake" trend."

Not only do I not use ChatGPT, but I still don’t know how to get to it, I don’t want to know, and I have no interest in even learning. I consider this to be one of my better qualities even though it sounds extremely “I don’t even OWN a TV”

Don’t apply to Shortbox. Support the artists directly when they post on their storefront. A lot of us posted our SBCF comics for free or at a discount after the fair was over. At the end of the day, we just want people to read our comics, and that’s good enough. Cheers, - Kan Pham (KOHIU)

In unrelated news, an alarming number of flies showed up in the print shop this week. This morning, I arrived to find they suddenly all died. Should I be expecting the arrival of Beelzebub?

I took this very mundane photo and look how scary it turned out.
A photo of a dark room. A balustrade can be seen in the shadows. On the ceiling a single bulb glows dimly.

The fact that the Supreme Court is asking for millions to essentially insulate themselves from the consequences of their decision making is WILD. Multiple Americans have been murdered in the streets by the State this week. Where's the additional $$$ for everyone else's "security concerns"?

I know it's none of the players' fault but now I kinda hope Belgium kicks Team USA's ass. Hey even if they lose maybe dad will call the principal and have the game overturned.
