Those of you using AI imagery for memes & advertisements, guess what. Your message is not getting to its intended audience. Sure it's cheap to make, but is it costing you more than what it would have to use human generated art? There are plenty of other tools out there that are better to use.
A meme of Lisa Simpson in front of a white board with the text "Using AI generated imagery in memes and advertisements fails to get your message across to your target audience."

Earlier this month I received my ballot in the mail. I had the opportunity to research the candidates and cast my votes as I saw fit. I've already received a notification that my ballot was received and counted. I love the mail in ballot system that we've been using for decades.

I was driving home after doing some errands today. I saw a lady walking her two dogs. It was a cute sight and made me think of something. Our furbabies can bring joy to more than just ourselves. Keep taking them for walks or post pictures online so that the joy they bring can be shared.

Back in 1983 I had plans to go see Men at Work in concert. The scouting group wanted to go camping the weekend of the show and the other boys pressured me into going. "Go to the next concert when they come back next year." The band broke up before that happened. I finally saw Men at Work tonight.
