Appalling. Weaponizing the state to target a political opponent, weeks before an election, is nothing but a authoritarian tactic by a desperate administration. We wish we could say we were surprised, but this is textbook fascist behavior. Our Jewish community stands with @repilhan.bsky.social

Next issue of my art blog newsletter is on art swipes. Here's an example - A 1976 illustration by Angus McKie on the left, followed the uncredited 1984 movie poster for Def-Con 4. Sign up today to get the whole issue tomorrow: 70s-sci-fi-art.ghost.io#/portal/signup

Two side by side images depict very similar shipwrecked astronaut suits with a skeleton inside, half buried in a desert landscape with a big cylidrical spaceship behind them. The big differences are that the left one is more colorful and the spaceships look fairly different.

Elisabeth, The Cow Ghost was written and illustrated by William Pène du Bois in 1936 when he was 19 years old. The book tells the story of a kind, gentle cow that dies and wants to return as a scary ghost. #SpookySunday

Cover of the book Elisabeth The Cow Ghost. The illustration shows a butter colored cow floating above a sleeping child.

More groovy diablerie from 1970, the gatefold sleeve interior for Sacrifice by Black Widow. Artwork is credited to "Circa" whoever they were.

A gatefold album cover with lyrics to two songs printed in red ink on a white background. Above these is a large and rather crude drawing of brightly-coloured demons rampaging on a cloud of black smoke.

This is basically exactly correct. The problem with LLM output is usually code quality, and asking to merge garbage code is rude. If you and your tools can do good work, fine. If you can't, get good. Managing to make a hack that kind of works is not enough to contribute to sustainable development!

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

In TTRPG you design to and around humans. They set the your limitations. Wild revelation, I know. But cognitive load, buy in and pitch, attention spans, audience, needs, expectations, even tangibility all matter.

Cregger's Resident Evil is a good example of "Fast Body Horror." In the 80s, a lot of Body Horror was "slow" because in order to execute a special effect, there was one gimmick per shot, so transformation sequences had many cuts and emphasized the mechanics of the gimmick.
