The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

Cape Town's water storage dipping into Drought Response territory. Zahid Badroodien has been going on about the City being unable to implement drought resonse due to other users not doing thier part. The city's own press release paints a different story.

Graph of Water Storage in the Western Cape with levels going from Emergency Drought Response (Red), Accelerated Drought Response, Drought Response and Early Drought Caution.
Current storage as intacted by the black dotted line is on the border of Early Drought Caution and Drought Response.

Graphs showing the water usage of The City of Cape Town and Other users of water. While the city is on projected usage, other users have used significantly less water than projected.

Finished star burst blanket with cat for scale. The pattern called it a six day blanket. That was a lie 🤣

Put blanket down. Orange cat immediately claims it gor herself.

Scootched her off to take a pic. You can see the other girlie contemplating claiming it.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

I've been chatting with a number of my graphic designer friends and something that pops up over and over is how disorganised workplaces or clients are. One friend and myself were pondering if it's always been this way or if it's increased recently. In a way I think it's a bit of both...

I managed a handful of things with my weekend. I made a lemon loaf and worked on this crochet project. I ran out of the turquoise yarn, so ordered more. I did not get around to doing the dishes or a workout session. 😮‍💨 I want more weekend please.

It's always really upsetting when someone you know, who you know is intelligent and has an excellent education, somehow falls down a conspiracy theory trap. Anti-vax bullshit specifically. And other people are already trying to talk sense into them but they're not hearing any of it.

Folks who use #CSP and want to produce CMYK results, have a read! 👇🏻 Adding: CSP lets you define your preview colour profile in the File>Canvas Properties window, and that's what it will use if you choose to export a flattened CMYK file.

My partner has a hobby where he looks at property listings just to see what certain amounts of money can get you. Sometimes he finds people who have done very cool architecture or interior design. Other times the house is fine and people are just bad at decorating. Other times it's a fucking wreck 🧵

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

The cowl i started ages ago. I wasn't digging the contrast yarn i had tried originally, so I pulled that loose and just did a black "contrast". Happier now, added the braids and trinkets. It's a bit big and bulky and definitely affects my fov, I need to be careful if I walk around while wearing it.

Me wearing a dark green and black cowl I crocheted.

The silver trinkets attached to the cowl. There's a tree of life, celtic know, pentacle and dragon.
