If there's one groups in society who NEED to stop using AI to make resources, slides, posters, it's teachers. You're literally showing your students that you used AI to do your own homework. You look like a moron. It's shameful. Do not do this.

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

Love how the use of diminishing contrast creates depth - actually reads as a landscape painting

My diagnosis raised a few eyebrows for this very reason - thank you for sharing, it absolutely helps ❤️

In the Guardian’s review of ‘The Great ADHD Myth?’, Lucy Mangan writes that the mother of a boy featured in the documentary “decides to keep him off the drugs”. In the end credit sequence of the programme, it says she put him back on the medication “after poor exam results”.

This article really pissed me off this morning. Implication that a diagnosis is only valid (and helpful) if you then choose to medicate - and then taking issue with the fact that HOW MY BRAIN WORKS might be a key part of my identity?

Don’t spend too long googling Blippi, there’s a story about him I wish I could unlearn…

We referenced this in our webcomic a few years back - the framed cartoon in the final panel was a real scribble he did for much missed Folkestone restaurant Hop Kweng www.instagram.com/p/CLhXwLzBuS...

R has been watching a lot of Horrible Histories, so was quite concerned by the prospect of Georgian fruit leather - he thought it was from the late 1700s

R got told at cubs that the reason for the moon not being full is because it’s being covered by the earth’s shadow. As if there’s a lunar eclipse happening nearly every single day of the year 😩

We had a stray cat in the 90s that chose us by coming straight through the cat flap, marching down stairs and sitting in the middle of an in progress game of HeroQuest

Godzilla: The Series surprisingly managed to correctly predict the advent of Gen AI in 1998, and had an appropriate lesson at the end of the episode.

PTA Janice: The Case for a Normie AI Revolt
Not the case that they should revolt. There’s no point in an argument aimed at a bunch of people who are absolutely not reading Medium…

Hey @tonyvaughanmp.bsky.social - do you have any comment on Starmer’s ‘Island of Strangers’ speech? Is pandering to the worst of Reform the best Labour has got? Sickening and Shameful.

On the subject of Greyscale, he’s recently materialised from the 3D printer - needs sanding, priming and painting but I’m very happy with this little figure

Just posted strip number 43 in my ongoing webcomic collaboration - thinking about reposting/serialising here at some point but in the meantime here’s a sneak peak and a link www.instagram.com/p/DIBh5x6sT2...
A monotone comic panel illustration depicting an elderly lady, two children & their mother and a grey alien being blasted by sound waves emitted from a gramophone, their faces blown back as if experience high G-force. The text reads ‘after the warm hiss-crackle-pop of stylus on vinyl… …a sound from the beginning of time’

to the people posting Studio Ghibli AI slop. May Miyazaki bless you 🙏
4 panel comic

Panel 1: Weird Pink Potato Guy struts down the street saying: “Tee Hee Hee. Can’t wait to get home and post more AI Studio Ghibli content on the internet”

Panel 2: Potato Guy arrives at his front door, looks directly at reader and says “I’m A Artist.

Panel 3: Potato Guy disappears inside his house

Panel 4: Potato Guy whistling in the foreground, taking off his hat. He has failed to notice the man in the shadows. It’s Miyazaki, and he’s screwing a silencer on to a pistol…

Of course! Was trying to keep it vague, apologies to anyone reading if I was too specific

For me some of the best bits were the little character subplots - Dylan & Gretchen’s story was a really interesting development of the severed dynamic and its implications

Thanks, there’s so much to take in, but not been this excited about creating & model making since I first learnt moulding/casting as teen. Not taken it below 0.2 yet so a lot more visible grain, but enjoying the puzzle of angling prints to work with it rather than against - been dreaming in layers

Daniel Stirrup @danielstirrup.bsky.social · 19/03/2025
really smooth looking details, what layer thickness are you printing at? (Apologies if I’m bombarding with questions - total 3D printing hyper fixation at the moment)
