I have posted about how my mother turned some of the Whistle Crew's whistle misprints into art & it was on display at the state fair, but the goblins sent her *so many more* whistles so she has passed a bunch along to a new group of artists & I'm obsessed. www.whistlefishproject.com

2PM on the Baron Tikitrocious' Midday Matinee! Two roofers accidentally fulfill a prophecy while they rehab an old sorcerer's mansion. They must foil the general contractor's machinations to finish on time, on budget, so they can be “Paid by the Apocalypse (1989).”

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Fun fact: Tesla went with a giant touchscreen instead of knobs for the Model 3 purely to save time and money. Knobs would have required spinning up a whole supply chain. The company spun it as a luxury feature and much of the industry followed suit. But it was always an inferior substitute.

A Cayman Islands source gave Blum incriminating intel on 20 ultrarich Americans defrauding the US Treasury. He took it to the IRS in Miami, where a special agent looked over the documents and told him to get lost. Blum had expected gratitude. “This whole thing is a career killer,” the agent said.

Oligarchs are robbing America blind, and the IRS is powerless to stop them

The Wealth Defense Industry and its politicians have seen to that.

The marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna) looks like a ferret dressing up as a cheetah for Halloween. They're native to a semi-desert grassland strip from Eastern Europe to Central Asia. Like a skunk, they can spray a foul-smelling fluid from anal glands. Let's talk about them. (📷: Petra Prager)

A marbled polecat photo from Petra Prager. It looks almost exactly like a ferret, but the arched back is sort of orange with brown dots on it similar to a cheetah, and the head has a white stripe that reminds me of a skunk, with a long floofy tail and dark limbs. This one looks alert and at rest.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

The rabbi telling Anthropic that he thinks what they’re doing is fine, because Claude is just a machine to him, but if they’re right (and it is conscious), then they’re world historic monsters, is really interesting.

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."

This is what the latest research shows would happen for an average family if we moved to #MedicareForAll instead of a profit-driven, privatized health care system. WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

Threads post by @marks_wells_rector. Text reads:
"The new Yale Medicare-for-All study is bigger news than it's getting.
An average insured family of 4 pays about $10k/year today.
With M4A they will pay nothing unless they have income above $200K.
Above $200K: 6% only on income OVER $200K.
No premiums. No deductibles. No copays.
For most Americans, Medicare for All isn't a tax increase. It's a massive healthcare cost cut."

I'm an untrained artist designing merch that draws on niche pop culture mashups for queer pride, nerd humor, and agitprop for a better world being possible. This thread includes a sampling of my work, which you can find on stickers and shirts, pins, prints, and patches at willburrows.art/shop

A vinyl sticker featuring a drawing of Garak making jazz hands in front of a rainbow, overlaid with the text, "Friend of Garak" in DS9 title fonts.

A poster featuring a drawing of Miles O'Brien teaching Rom and Leeta about unions over Guinness and snail juice in Quark's Bar. Above, it says "The boss needs you, you don't need them!" and below it says "Labor is entitled to all it creates."

A gold Starfleet delta insignia with the three arrows symbol in black enamel in the center, and a high gloss surface.

An embroidered patch featuring Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors growing in a can that says "compost the rich."

My therapist tells me I can’t take myself out of the world till I’ve outlived 3 people. Every so often she asks me to list who the 3 are again. Bc asking me to just outlive 1 wasn’t enough. Refreshing the list is pretty satisfying.

The Internet you're seeing this on runs off of the labor of under 200 bisexual furry nerds. FA makes them happy. When they're happy, the entire shambolic mass of the Internet works. If I were Pete Hegseth, I'd be worried the furry community knew things with banker boxes of receipts.

Furry art is something I, personally, have negative associations with. I still chipped in to FA. FA has a strict no-AI policy, their servers are maintained well enough that they load, and they offer gallery format displays. If you hate AI as much as I do, toss a couple bucks to FA.

Synnove relaxing with the carbuncle family 🩵 Galette, 💛 Tyr, ❤️ Ivar, 🖤 Amandina, 🤍 Roksana, and 💙 Ipomoea! Commission for DT #ffxiv

Digital full body illustration of a Final Fantasy 14 hyur woman lying in the grass with six carbuncles around her, smiling sweetly at one of them running around. The lady herself has brown skin, green eyes, and a high pony tail of dark brown hair with a green ombre. She wears a black corset over a deep green open shoulder ruffle blouse, black fingerless gloves, short frayed grey jean shorts, and long black thigh boots. There is a very small black pearl carbuncle lying on her stomach being stroked, a medium ruby carbuncle running around joyfully next to her, a medium size sapphire carbuncle loafing under her legs watching him, a small emerald carbuncle sat over her shoulder also watching him, an absolutely huge topaz carbuncle lying next to her fast asleep, and a tiny white pearl carbuncle poised ontop of his back, ready to pounce forwards at the ruby lad. They are in a soft relaxing grassy place with little white flowers all around, leafy trees above them, and gentle rays of light shining through creating warm dapples across them.

This is a quick workup of what the night sky might look like on a world close to the galactic core. The planet is a rendering by Martin Kornmesser, to which I added the JWST image. So this scene is suggestive more than scientifically accurate. But still... imagine growing up under a sky like this.

The fore- and middle ground shows a rendering of a rocky exoplanet surface. The JWST Sagittarius scene from the first post occupies the upper half of the image.
