Went to the local monthly street festival. Tried to find a food stall that wasn't using a completely AI-generated flyer. There were like. Two. OK, you're not a graphic designer, but please for the love of Pete use real pictures of your food! Please I'm begging you!

OK, @wyrdingstudios.com , I knew you were doing Fordite* in this year's Pretty Rocks Club but I wasn't expecting THIS! Bottlecap for scale. *This one is Jeepite actually :)

A large Fordite cabochon framed in silver wire. It is next to a bottlecap for scale. The cabochon is slightly larger than the bottlecap.

I hate Stevia. Not for like, ethics or health reasons or anything, I just hate the taste. Hate it. And I REALLY hate when I'm looking for *unsweetened* food items and there's a bunch of stuff labeled like 'no sugar' but it's still sweetened with fecking stevia! Just stop hiding that it's in there!

The employee newsletter at my job had my updated name in the list of staff birthdays but inexplicably went with a nickname variant different than the one I use 🤣 I was prepared for this when I switched to a name with more commonly used nicknames and I find it hilarious. Fair Folk ain't gettin me.

I ain't fucking doing it. I'm old enough to remember when Internet age verification was a splash page mature content warning with a clickthrough. I'm old enough to have had my personal information leaked in hacks several times. I ain't fucking doing it.

Bsky was trying to verify my age earlier so if I disappear, that's why. You can still find me on tumblr for now, under the same username. If tumblr also starts doing mandatory age verification, you won't find me because I'm just going to abandon civilization to live in the woods.

When the selkie returned to the beach, a man was holding her sealskin. "Is this yours?" he asked. "May I borrow it?" "You want to be a seal?" "No, but when I take it off, I'll be a woman, right?" "My heart, you already are," the selkie said. "That skin is mine, but I can help you find yours."

I think the tech of LLMs, generative "AI," etc is super fuckin' cool. I'm less fond of the hype, the oversell, the yoking of our economy to a small handful of hugely overvaulated companies and the utter contempt the CEOs of these companies clearly have for the vast majority of humans.

I'm not sure we have a more explicit example of an artist who said "hey, if you give me any money I will definitely go hurt this small group of people with it, so.... money please??" Some situations have nuance. She smashed all nuance with a sledgehammer years ago.
