A block of loopy, swashy hand drawn lettering. Colored in an orange to purple gradient with a deep black 3D effect and some grungy decay and color filtering added. It reads, of course, ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’

You how you can be out with some people and a song comes on and someone says ‘I love this song’ and then you might have a fun discussion about it or even get up and dance? AI has finally solved that problem.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

A long horizontal sign based on the ones at CTA stations that tell what stop you’re at. It’s gray with red, purple, and brown bands at either ends. Four pigeons are perched on the sign in various pigeon poses as a sunrise is seen in the background. The sign itself reads, ‘Maybe It will happen today’

If all AI disappeared tomorrow I'd be down to only a million things to be sick/sad/angry about every day but I would try to cope
[Two posts from some unidentified social media something, probably X but I dunno...]

All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?

“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.

Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.

Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.

A digital recreation of a panel from the 1960s Hungarian comic strip Jucika by Pál Pusztai. In the image (drawn with black outlines and limited color that is also charmingly, wildly out of register) we see the main character, Jucika, a brunette woman with a short, kicky haircut wearing a striped, green, knee-length, sleeveless dress. She is dancing with a delighted-looking man in a military uniform who is holding one of her hands while in the other she's carrying a red portable radio by its little handle. She's grinning back over her shoulder to the left to see an attractive woman – red hair in curly bangs and a pony tail and wearing a different sort of green dress – who is dancing to the music from the radio with a different delighted-looking man in a brown suit. Everyone is having a great time. Below the drawing is all lower case script lettering with a brown drop that reads 'talán ma fog megtörténni', which my Hungarian-speaking friend Matilda assures me translates to 'Maybe it will happend today'

New Stickers for Sale! Inform someone somewhere that AI sucks. Both are 4" stickers on vinyl. $4 each. 🔨Hammer: octophant.us/stickers/lud... 😡 Hate: octophant.us/stickers/all...
A 4" vinyl sticker featuring black and white graphic depicting a two-headed hammer in black, upright as a capital T, where the head intersects with a black ring that intersects as well with the bottom of the hammer's handle. Horizontally in the head and vertically in the handle, reversed out in white bold text are the words 'Ludd's Hammer'. At the intersection of the ring and the handle is a 🚫 over black letters 'AI'. Within the ring in white text is the phrase 'These engines of mischief have been sentenced to die', which is a modified lyric from the traditional Luddite song 'The Triumph of General Ludd'. All of this has been rendered in a rough,grungified manner. Like it's rendered in smeared machine grease.A 4" square vinyl sticker. Extremely bold hand lettering in weathered white on a gradated orange background reading ‘ALL MY FRIENDS HATE AI’.

A digital illustration done in a black and white woodcut style similar to Totentanz images by Holbein and others. A skeleton wearing a jester-type cowl with two floppy horns with bells on the ends, and another garment around his shoulders and boots all decorated with bells. He his high stepping and playing some kind of flute. Black lines radiate out from behind him and a banner wraps around at his hips with the words ‘maybe it will happen today’ on it.

North Branch of the Chicago River shot from Lawrence looking north. An almost perfect gradient from deep indigo up to bright azure defined the sky and the water reflecting it, with the gradation interrupted only by distant clouds just in the horizon. And this big swathe of blue is cut into from either side by rough edges of bankside greenery converging at a point in the center. North Branch of the Chicago River shot from Lawrence looking south. Same ridiculous nonsense as the previous except the trees are different, there are some high, diaphanous clouds in the sky and reflected in the water, and the sun has become stuck in one of the taller branches on the left.

An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’
