Baby Bell Rock is a smaller red rock formation and hiking destination located next to the iconic Bell Rock in Sedona, Arizona. We hiked there a couple of years ago and I couldn't get this out of my head so I drew it. I can't have been the first one, right? #sedona #babybell #graphicdesign

A bit of #photography. I tried the AI edit thing on my phone for the first time to remove someone's head. I think I'll just take a better picture next time.

A friend is having an aortal valve replacement in a few days so I drew this heart with a mechanical aorta for her. I started watercolors tonight and I'm super happy with it so far.

Tom Waits’ “Step Right Up,” although it’s about all kinds of other scams, is also the perfect song about AI
Lyrics from Tom Waits, “Step Right Up”:

You just step right up
Step right up
That's right it fillets
It chops, it dices, it slices It never stops
Lasts a lifetime, it mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn
It picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair
It gets rid of embarrassing age spots
It delivers the pizza
And it lengthens 
And it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's be en lodged under the Chaise lounge for several weeks
And it plays a mean rhythm master
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar 
And it's only a dollar
Step right up
It's only a dollar
Step right up

Your electricity bill is going up because data centers are raising demand, not because your utility started scaling out some renewables. Pass it on.

Maybe not precisely accurate, but close enough to make you stop and ponder the implications that it's close enough to be terrifying.

FDA held a “hearing” on antidepressants today. Here’s one of their slides. Link to the entire meeting is below. Remember RFKJ’S MAHA report where he said antidepressants are need to go? He wasn’t kidding. Call your electeds and demand RFKJs resignation before he causes even more damage. He must go.
Prof Joanna Moncrieff, University College London 

FDA hearing, 21st July 2024 

Antidepressants do not correct a chemical imbalance or any other underlying biologic abnormality 
Antidepressants do not work-are barely distinguishable from a placebo in clinical trials 
They disrupt normal brain chemistry causing a variety of harmful effects 
Fertility is impaired through sexual dysfunction (which can be persistent) and sperm impairment 
Other effects include: miscarriage, premature delivery, post-natal hemorrhage, feotal malformations, withdrawal symptoms in newborns (30%) and persistent pulmonary hypertension 
These effects are independent of the effects of depression (Su et al, 2023) 
Effects on post-natal development-increased incidence of autism and ADHDA in children (e.g. Dragioti etal, 2019) 
Conclusion: Antidepressants chemically disrupt our emotions, sexuality and reproductive health in ways that are poorly understood. Advice and research on these drugs is skewed by the pharmaceutical industry marketing and the professional interest to defend antidepressants
