The same time that the Cornell Seven Rape was being reviewed and the men given BS things like an essay to write, Cornell officials banned four students for 3 years for a non-violent pro-Palestine protest… This culture needs to be completely overhauled. I am just tired of the absolute horribleness.

I legit never realized that Dumbledore was the guy that wrote and sung MacArthur Park. Knew the name. Never realized it was that Richard Harris. Arguably, I knew the song cause of Weird Al Parody and I think that was one of my first CDs ever. And never really cared for the original 7+ min song.

All the talk of surveillance I decided to revisit Orwell’s 1984. I really forgot the story; Winston sitting in that cafe really does end up loving Big Brother & the way he believes it all… They win over his love for Julia & personal beliefs. Ugh… Need a suggestion for palette cleanse.

Overheard at store: “God damn, that stuff was recalled too? Thanks to that wobbly mutherfucker RFK, I fully expect there to be actual razor blades in candy this Halloween…” 🎃 🤣 “Wobbly Mutherfucker” killed me.

In the past 2 years, Ive definitely lost a substantial & formerly stable amount of small jobs to AI. But now that the economy is at a point where diesel is high & a bag of groceries is like $100, all of the extra little shows/sales are drying up… And getting notes that big projects are now on hold.

well, this is a first, client sent me a bunch of AI renderings. (not the first for that), but they are asking me to "sketch out the idea" from the AI renderings so they can get it approved by the person that made the AI rendering... We are using their AI rendering as the model for the 3d print...?

I was tagged in a thread, last year a bunch of people were telling a POC wearing a Trump / MAGA outfit that he was backing someone who would have him deported. The guy blew up on us & said I was using the race card.(?) Reason I was tagged was the news that ICE got him & he lost his business.

The weird thing that Trump Loyalists proudly say is how either the orange idiot, or their own personal statements “get under the skin” of people. I don’t get it. The repugnant happiness & sense of self righteousness when they say that instantly makes them look stupid. What sad childish people…

I can’t stress how we have failed the young men in this nation. We had the data & the resources to help raise truly the best, but the algorithm pushing unhealthy male ideology like Tate & christian nationalists has ruined a generation. It’s like the horrible ideal body image forced on young girls.

Do you think the presidency and representatives of the U.S. will ever get back to a point where there is almost zero tolerance for blatant crime and money laundering? Having 300+ accounts for Trump closed by Capital One would have been weeks of news and have a decent president forced to step down.

Seeing the sister of Lyndsey Graham, with literally zero experience, getting appointed to his job, is just pointing out that it’s apparently not a hard job being a senator if you can literally drop any random person in there at any time without worry. I’m just so tired of the stupidity.

A little Jamal #DCC fanart for this week's drawing challenge, with the theme "Shark Attack". He's more likely to attack with apologies though. (I had to draw him, since I was finding way too many AI slop renditions of him.) #dungeoncrawlercarl #dccfanart

A drawing of a hammerhead shark in a harness that has mechanical spider legs attached to it. The harness also has a flame thrower attached to the bottom, where some flames are shooting out. The shark is saying "Jamal has so many sorries to give!" I don't know, Dungeon Crawler Carl is absurd.

I asked why he's saying he's deranged, etc. Wasted an hour of his time till he blocked me. Things I do on my lunch break to cope...

Discord & some social medias outlets that love the use of GIFs, you’ll notice a big change as of June 30th, Google is shutting down GIF provider Tenor's public API. So all Apps that rely that to source GIFs will lose direct access to the entire library. Why? More room for data centers & AI.

I don’t know how to put into words how absolutely horrendous a medical warehouse fire is at a time that Trump has fucked up the global economy and trade. The products in that building weren’t all made there. It’s just shipped from other countries. The ripples from this event might be devastating.

Between Trump’s family & businesses now completely immune to IRS audits & scrutiny, to this $1.7 Billion to the coup relief fund for Jan 6ers, I just am feeling so done and hopeless on the future of this country. It’s disgusting. Not that America was perfect, but there was less overt corruption.

A giant middle finger statue facing City Hall in NYC.😅 I have to chuckle; doubt sculptor Lovaido realizes how little effect that would have on the mayor. it’s pretty much the NYC hand gesture of choice. Momdani should laugh, flip off the camera, say thanks for agreeing art & speech are important.
