If the people behind an album can’t be bothered to invest more than a few seconds into their artwork, how dare they expect us to spend our time listening to it?

AI Album Covers Have No Place in Hip-Hop

I can't tell you how relieved I am to finally see this entering the discussion, oh my god Of course we artists have been screaming it for years but I'm just thankful that because of that, news media is finally starting to be bold enough to explore that after AI's rep has tanked recently

A father on reddit, advocating for uploading your children's photos to Gemini AI... to convert them into coloring pages. And so many in the comments are "Great idea! I dislike AI, but this is a great idea!". This seems so wrong to me.
A reddit post from r/daddit reads:
"I used AI (Gemini) to convert photos of stuff my kids did this summer into coloring pages and they loved it. It was a straightforward prompt (Change this photo into a black and white page for a coloring book), I included their ages to adjust the degree of difficulty. Thought it was a fun and simple hack to share with all the dads."

Gamers is this true?
Reddit comment that says: 

"Because actual journalists risk their lives in warzones and covering dangerous subjects meanwhile game journalists are scared to give a bad review to a game because the publisher might stop sending them review copies."

Hey guys! Due to the trend of "what's your undertale soul color" reels I've seen recently, I decided to make something hopefully more accurate and fun than the other tests out there. I wanted it to be very Undertale themed and to have a bunch of Easter eggs. Try it at undertale.jadenthejaded.uk!

They Put a Hat on Me, Pardner

Pardner. My dearest pardner. I write to you with a great sadness in my heart.
I was resting my eyes, ever so briefly. Minding my own business. I felt a pressure upon me. A terrible and oppressive pressure.
The pressure was an awful object. The long-limbed creature who lives in my home placed it so close to my precious head.

I get the impulse to "Leopards, faces, etc" these stories. But doing so misses a much bigger and more important point: The nation's largest, most powerful GOP state organization has gone all-in on unfiltered hatred - to the point that it stunned those who've spent their life confronting such hate.

This line from @kkjetelina.bsky.social 's latest substack regarding the ebola outbreak just hit me like a brick.
Text reads:

We have lost the animating belief that strangers’ suffering is our concern. That the provision of care is not decided by power but by compassion and collective empathy.

The cost is always paid by the same people
The most heartbreaking thing about all of this is that radical individualism doesn’t distribute its consequences equally. It always funnels suffering downward to the poor, the rural, and the people whose names don’t appear in the articles until they are counted among the dead.

End quote.

Solar Beam ☀️
A watercolor painting of the Pokemon Venusuar in its shiny coloration, using its move Solar Beam. Venusaur is facing towards the viewer and smiling in a sinister manner. The flower on its back is glowing with bright white light, pulling in solar energy. Swirls of white energy are encircling it. The sky is dark green, and the ground under its feet is a heavily foliaged jungle floor with orange mushrooms.
