I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

@evilempirestudio.bsky.social Great work on the update. Returning to this after a year has been such a pleasure. Scratching that Hades itch was hard but this game really satisfied. Good luck on the next project.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

@wiswell.bsky.social Just finished 'Someone to build a nest in' and was I quite struck by the moment that two romance characters agreed that kissing isn't for them. So lovely to be surprised by something I took as a given.

So Epic wants me to confirm I'm an adult so that it can show me Spiderman details. You know? The comic book guy? But it's positive that my credit card is not a credit card. What else would it like? Oh apparently my license or passport will be fine!! How about a photo of my fucking face?! FUCK OFF!
! This payment requires a credit card. Try a different card.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, in heaven. A dog with little wings runs towards her open arms. Off panel, a speech bubble reads “welcome to Heaven! Here is your dog!”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. She says, “where’s my cat?”
The third panel zooms out. There are dogs with little wings everywhere. Sarah says, “Where’s ANY of the cats?”
The fourth panel shows a circle of cats holding hands and dancing gleefully surrounded by flames in hell.

Some friends are teaching their baby ASL as an early bridge to speech and they made the mistake of teaching her “want” as a concept. Now she wanders around the house signing “want” all the time as an expression of unfocused desire. They fucked up and made the baby invent the opposite of Buddhism.

@kevinpowell.co I've got a tricky puzzle for you if you're interested. On invisiblespiders.com I've clusters of media cards and want to prioritise rows of 3 over 2, but avoid rows with only 1. I'm forcing nth-last 4,5, and 9 to try this and it's not quite what I'm after. I bet you could solve it.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.
Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.

My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:
Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her.
She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.

I like this so much better than the idea that our ancestors would be embarrassed or ashamed of us for being "soft" or some crap like that.
