Working on a beaten-metal sculpture of Peter Falk for a client who's really into Columbo. Problem is, he never seems to be convinced that I'm finished -- he's always saying "oh, just one more ding."

Heads up: new PDFs exported from InDesign now have automatic AI image descriptions baked into them. To turn it off, go into the "Generative AI" preferences in InDesign and uncheck both these boxes:

Old-timey pulp comic titled "Nice Try, Clanker!" showing people shooting a robot with laser guns. An AI-generated image description (much worse than the one I've just written myself) is shown.

InDesign's "Preferences" panel, showing the "Generative AI" tab with the options "Auto-generate Alt Text when placing images" and "Add "Description generated by AI" tag for auto-generated Alt text" checked. Uncheck these!

My culinary hot take is that flatbreads are all the same. I just made a quesadilla with a leftover garlic naan and it was fine. I'm sure I could just have easily enjoyed my curry with a corn tortilla, or a pita, or a particularly yeasty crepe. Flatbreads are the same.

Psst, hey you. You want free RPG books? Do what I did: become a designer. People literally send you new stuff every day. You can even play it before it's finished, and they'll never know! And get this: once you make the book, you don't even need to pay for it, because you got the PDF! Suckers.

Loathe as I am to do the whole "this bad thing is good, actually" bit but Junior (1994) is shockingly earnest and progressive for a 1990s comedy whose premise is "what if the largest man in the world got mpreg'd."

Marvel Rivals inspired me to start reading old comics and I was really not prepared for how depressed The Thing was and how little everyone else seems to notice or care. He's pretty much just Karl Havoc for the first 20 issues.
