The marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna) looks like a ferret dressing up as a cheetah for Halloween. They're native to a semi-desert grassland strip from Eastern Europe to Central Asia. Like a skunk, they can spray a foul-smelling fluid from anal glands. Let's talk about them. (📷: Petra Prager)

A marbled polecat photo from Petra Prager. It looks almost exactly like a ferret, but the arched back is sort of orange with brown dots on it similar to a cheetah, and the head has a white stripe that reminds me of a skunk, with a long floofy tail and dark limbs. This one looks alert and at rest.

Started listening to the audiobook of "Iron Widow" today! Not very far in at all, but I like it, great narrator as well. The Darling in the Franxx origin is very clear haha My minor quibble is that it feels very on the nose when stating some of its themes in the beginning

This is what I'm talking about when I bring up that genAI bots are making it impossible for an open web to actually exist. It becomes expensive, a pain, and domain providers like cloudflare are profiting off both the people making bots and the people who don't have the tech skills to fight them off

Last year I decided to branch out in the types of Japanese books I read into genres I don't usually care for. So far finished one and am nearly trough a second... and they were both breathtakingly boring, just agonizing to go through lol It seems I'm not cut out for "ordinary life" books lol

WAVE (1994) Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 48” Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. #art

An exponential curve expressed as a massive wave of green-blue water that climbs to vertical against a sky of puffy lavender clouds. Light breaks through the cloud cover just over the horizon casting a flat glare across rippling water before the wave climbs. Fin-like ridges emerge running up the wall give the water turbulence and dimension.

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"

One thing about these recent "AI SOLVES MILLENIUM PROBLEM" headlines and all the following controversies that I find really discouraging: All these researchers going "Oh yeah, I fed all my research in the next token predictor". Like, you use the plagiarism machine and then complain about plagiarism?

Hey I did a Magic: the Gathering card. Actually I've done almost 30 at this point but this is the first one that's actually out :,) Draconic Visitor - AD Jason Gomez - coming out next month in the Reality Fracture release.

Digital illustration - a red dragon with twisting, impossible in perspective horns flies through an equally impossible twisting, spherical staircase, in the middle of a giant glowing backlit hall full of upside down staircases and draconic statues.

The aforementioned illustration in it's borderless "Draconic Visitor" card frame.

“The Death I Bring” Pencils I made on a moleskine sketchbook page back in 2016.

A realistic pencil drawing of a robed woman, surrounded by three vultures and one barn owl grabbing a dead mouse with his beak.

The robed woman stares at us intimately, with a few bits of branched and a dark background makes the scene a bit ominous but graceful body positioning makes the scene beautiful as well. The artist (me) really likes this kind of imagery.

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

Wanna hear a fucked up CG/math discrepency? CG projection matrices are NOT math projection matrices, the latter being idempotent, meaning P*P = P. This property means, that once you have projected a point, it won't change if you project it again. CG projection matrices don't have this property!

Posting some crappy hand-drawn amateur art in the age of fake images. Had some real issues drawing anything without throwing it away for a long while. Recently tried to get to an acceptable level again with a small A6 notebook. No masterpieces, but I'm happy that I didn't want to throw it away

AITA for correcting my girlfriend's family every time they mispronounce my turtle's name?
I have a turtle named Geoff. Yes I know Geoff is normally pronounced Jeff. His isnt. My girlfriend's family knows this and still calls him Jeff basically every time his name comes up.
His name starts with /dz/ instead of the normal American English J sound /d3/. So regular Geoff/Jeff is roughly /dzef/ and his is /dzef/. They are similar but they are NOT the same consonant. /d3/ is a voiced postalveolar affricate and /dz/ is a voiced retroflex affricate. Basically you make the beginning of "Jeff" with the tongue farther back/retracted, which gives it a harder, deeper "dzh" sound.
I'm really into etymology and historical linguistics so the spelling was intentional too. Geoff is already a weird spelling from a modern English perspective because gives you basically no reason to predict /dzef/ unless you already know the name. Obviously I am NOT claiming medieval Geoffrey was pronounced / dzef/. I

Had this song come up in my playlist again and want to share it as it always lifts up my mood. Ikiru (to live) by Haru Nemuri. It has a great message and atmosphere. As a lot of her songs, this is very poetry-adjacent and has interesting lyrics (has en translation) www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiUo...
