This is cope, 3 years ago it couldn’t draw hands with five fingers but now it can do 3D? it’s objectively powerful which is scary. I don’t believe the hype but it’s concerning that it can disrupt all of the highest paid and specialized art skills like video editing, design, modeling, animation etc

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title is “Cats living together”.
The first panel shows a black cat and orange cat cuddling with their eyes closed. The orange cat says “I love you”. The black cat says “I love you too”.
The second panel zooms in on them. 
The third panel shows the orange cat opening its eyes.
The fourth panel shows the orange cat raising its paw to punch the black cat. It says, “Actually you know what”.

This morning. Yes, my city is STILL occupied by roving military fireteams, for no reason whatsoever. The fact that the president has personally ordered this occupation to continue indefinitely/permanently, and self-styled Conservatives say nothing, makes it more of a poisonous outrage—not less.

7. It may be helpful to think of traditional forms familiar to us: folk tales, fairy tales, ballads. Phrases like "over the hills and far away", or "For the sake of auld lang syne", or "Once upon a time" aren't modern, they're traditional, magical, not chatty - but they're not High Literary.

To call it a puppet state would be too generous. Puppet states still have the pretense of more formal autonomy than this. He's just openly running the country with Rodriguez as his direct subordinate.

This does suck, but unfortunately most people don’t have the training in graphic design skills to DIY, and it’s not worth the time of most professional designers to do a little flyer for $20 for a small client

This is a demand that conservatives live up to the values of the "Western Tradition" they're always caterwauling about, but it's also a love letter to my millions of neighbors, all of whom matter, and deserve to live out their own lives and dreams. What else is society good for, if not that?
