I am a cis, white, straight woman who was born and raised on a remote dairy farm, raised around no diversity at all. Virtually everything I know about people unlike that narrow group came from meeting people at cons first. Embarrassing but true.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

Learning a new drawing app. Feels odd going from wacom pad to scribbling directly on the screen. #digitalart #wip #Dwemer #artsky
Screenshot of a digital drawing app on a tablet, showing a work-in-progress portrait. A gaunt humanoid head with a skull-lile mask, long pointed ears, deep shadowed eye sockets, and hollow cheeks is rendered in detailed black ink with heavy cross-hatching. The head and neck are finished; below, the shoulders and torso remain a loose light-blue under-sketch on a white canvas. The app's layer stack is visible on the right and the brush/tool panel on the left.

This is also profoundly deceptive. Some machine learning applications emulate simple neural networks, but LLMs like Anthropic’s products do not. At all. They’re complex probability calculators, with some pseudo-randomness thrown in. That’s all. They do not resemble organic brains even a little.
