Really bad day for @ultimateguard.bsky.social's brand! (Origs from @rachelkendra.com and @schmandrewart.bsky.social)
RachelXKendra: "i really like ultimate guard boulders and katana sleeves. too bad I'm never buying any of them ever again" above a picture of Ultimate Guard's new Harry Potter merchandise.schmandrew: "Picked this deck box up from @ultimateguard.bsky.social and I was so excited until I flipped it over. Looks like my art was extended with ai.

@magic.wizards.com needs to make sure their partners don't do this. 

I would have happily extended this for a couple hundred $$. Instead it looks awful!"

Below are two pictures of the deck box showing schmandrew's excellent art and then a fairly obvious bit of LLM-generated filler.

Four lines of voters.  On each line, there is a "Blue" party box and a "Red" party box.

On the first line, the parties are roughly equidistant from the center, and the "Blue" party is saying "we just need to pick up these centrist voters!"

On each following line, the "Red" party moves further right to pick up previously extreme voters, the "Blue" party follows them, and the "Blue" party repeats "we just need to pick up these centrist voters!" about former "Red" voters, while an ever-increasing number of voters is left behind on the left.

My favorite Eraserhead reaction will forever be Charles Bukowski stumbling onto it the first night he got cable and assuming all of cable TV would be like that only to be immediately disappointed

7:23 PM · Nov 3, 2022

The attached image reads "BUKOWSKI: We got cable TV here, and the first thing we switched on happened to be Eraserhead. I said, 'What's this?' I didn't know what it was. It was so great. I said, 'Oh, this cable TV has opened up a whole new world. We're gonna be sitting in front of this thing for centuries. What next?' So starting with Eraserhead we sit here, click, click, click—nothing."
