iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Yeah the digital comics were a bit hard to share, but I really laughed at "yeah ... don't say vintage" 😂 Also the comedic timing of your animations is really good! Have you done much animation before?

We're continuing to report on sports betting apps, and we need your help. ProPublica is looking for at least 250 people who use DraftKings and FanDuel to share their data with us and help us understand how the apps respond to user behavior. ➡️ How to help: projects.propublica.org/sports-betti...

A neon green tracker shows that ProPublica has received 28 people's sports betting data, just over 10% of the way towards its goal of 250. Text below reads: If you’re one of millions of Americans who have placed an online bet on a sporting event, you know how quickly you can go from celebrating your wins to feeling like the odds are stacked against you.

ProPublica is trying to understand how sports betting apps incentivize users to keep playing and when they warn users to pump the brakes. To do that, we need your help: We’re aiming for at least 250 people to upload their gambling history from apps like FanDuel and DraftKings. We’re not quite there yet, so if you’ve used these apps, you can help our journalists. If you’ve worked in the industry, you can also help us by answering a few questions. (You can also reach us on Signal.)

So I guess someone is making a new Visual Novel game engine, can't figure out what the motivation is (like what distinguishes it from other engines, and why they decided to make it) But mainly I think it's wild to use genAI pics on a linkedIn post about it...makes me wonder how much is vibecoded?

So you may be asking...why post this? Artists/Craftsppl sometimes try out new products and projects. And even if it's fun and the result is good, it's not a viable product for business reasons! It's a REALLY IMPORTANT part of the job! But doesn't get talked about, so here's an example! <3

Sawhand @sawhand.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

And I DO still think they're kinda fun! BUT, I did the math, and (because I can't help myself) it took WAY too long to sort everything to a quality I was happy with. I would have had to sell them at a CRAZY high price for a few pieces of recycling essentially! It's not viable! So I'm stopping! :D

Sawhand @sawhand.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I wanted each kit to have about the same amount/quality of stuff, and be all different (eg. not all rug patterns from the rug pattern book). So I counted out 5 full size pages w/o text, 5 full size with no text etc.Just what I thought would be a good variety and enough for a few collages.

Hi hi hi all! So on and off I'd been getting some stuff from a SUPER discount used bookstore, and I thought it'd be fun to sell Little Curated Collage Kits. I started cutting stuff out + organizing! It was fun! And a nice activity for when I was too tired to do more active brain stuff!

A bunch of blue collage materials, mainly pictures, ranging in size from full magazine page to like credit card size. There's some furniture, an advertisement for a fridge, a few portraits, some vases, etc.

A bunch of blue collage materials, these are larger pages, one is a cat on a blue background, one is a house and mostly nightsky, there's a tile patter and a rug.

A bunch of blue collage materials, mainly pictures, ranging in size from a bit bigger than your average paperback book to smaller than a credit card. There's some furniture, an advertisement for a fridge, a few portraits, some vases, etc. It's next to a ruler and is more organized in this picture.
