I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

A full moon rising over Santa Fe, NM last evening. No tinting applied, these were the true colors🌝 #fullmoon #SantaFe

A giant, full moon rises in a salmon pink sky over violet mountains. Dark green pinion and juniper trees are closer up beneath the mountains.

I'm in the middle of reading Big Bad Wool (A sheep detective mystery) by Leonie Swann... it is hysterical, btw. And yesterday on my walk, I found a new flock of sheep. I couldn't help but wonder what some of them were thinking 🤔 #Ilovesheep

A brown/black sheep with head lowered staring at the photographer (me) with a white sheep standing behind, head up, staring at me with a piece of hay in her mouth.

This is a large blue-grey wading bird with long legs and a snaky grey neck. Its face is white with a blue cap. It has bright yellow eyes and a long, pointed yellow and black bill.

Frogs in the water and frogs in the grass, Some frogs are transparent, like they’re made of glass. No frog has a tail (a frog’s not a newt). Some frogs are named after tomato fruit. To gaze upon a frog: for sore eyes, it’s a cure. Happy World Frog Day to you and to yours! #WorldFrogDay 🐸

Read this declaration. A professional soccer player has been imprisoned in El Salvador and forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos and a single, innocent hand gesture. This is why the administration is withholding due process. It knows its targets could prove their innocence.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think Marco Rubio probably needs to be sent back to school.. When you arbitrarily rip up trade agreements, threaten a country, and say you’re going to break it, that’s an act of war. And Canadians have responded in kind.

'AI Destroyed the Digital Artist' (from our BLFC show) is based on the 80's hit by The Buggles. This parody is a modern commentary on AI art. In the same vein as the original, it's a reflection on how technological advancements can disrupt established creative artforms with sad consequences.

I don't remember either Obama or Biden removing a member for calling him names. Hmmm Perhaps Trump isn't as strong as he pretends to be.
