A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

this story is nuts — UNC Health briefly adopted BidShift, a platform that has nurses bid against eachother for hard-to-fill shifts, so that the hourly premium rate (already substantially lower than it was pre-pandemic) keeps dropping. It pivoted after backlash.

as laid out by the very people responsible for making "AI", the only question is how much of human happiness and culture we'll let this industry destroy before we shut it down, or whether it'll shut down on its own when there's not enough culture left to mulch. the mulching is not in question

Data centers are catastrophically unpopular, adoption is not where they need it to be, their public figures are obvious sociopaths, and folks they hoped to have in their corner (like mathematicians) are pushing back. If a slowdown seems inevitable, their only move is to try and take credit for it.

Scenes such as this where the light is reflecting on the water are accomplished through a process called "backlighting", "underlighting" or "bipack glow". To create the effect a matte is cut and light is shone through the holes.

The above clip uses the second Ranma film and the fourth Urusei Yatsura film as examples. This was a common technique in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We can see it used for the sunlight in a Ranma OVA as well as the light from a lantern in Ranma movie 2 and more water effects.

You should read this. I've known the history of "zombies" for a while now. I've shared it. I'm not consistent. I pick my battles. And I've always felt this intense shame when I go along with a convo. It is this near total appropriation of Haitian culture. Leaving almost nothing behind.
