Add the cover of a book or book series you hope gets made into a movie or show (or remade into a better one) and also one you hope DOES NOT. Don't say which is which.

Cover art for "The Gunslinger" by Stephen King. A cowboy-looking fellow is in the middle ground on the lower half or the cover. He is standing in a hardpan desert while wearing a wide-brimmed hat and long duster. His face is obscured but he is looking down and to the left at a raven that is perched on a pile of bones. Dust surrounds him. A tall tower is in the background which is backlit by the sun through the orange haze. The sky is mostly obscured, but is heavily clouded and suggests a coming storm. The author and title are in white letters on the top half of the cover.

Cover art for "The Sculptor" by Scott McCloud. The entire cover is hand-drawin in black and white with a slight blue tint to the shadows. The upper 2/3rds of the cover has the face and shoulders of an unsmiling man with short black hair staring directly ahead. In the lower 1/3rd there is the Manhattan Skyline drawn at a Dutch angle as seen from across the river in Brooklyn with the Brooklyn Bridge on the left. The author's name and book's title stradle the line that divides the upper and lower parts of the cover.

if you are using generated images to protest the regime you have misunderstood the assignment.

Their slogan at the bottom is the icing on the cake.

"We're on a mission to keep commerce human" Etsy said, through gritted teeth

Time to boycott Etsy. They force you to use an LLM for customer service and it literally "I can't do that Dave"d me.

Etsy bot: Understood.

What would you like me to send as your case message? Please keep it to 300 characters or less and include the key details about the missing order.

Me: "Seller never shipped. Contacted them 4 days ago, they apologized. Tried contacting today and the message bounces back. Also stop forcing me to use LLMs you goobers, everyone hates this crap."

Etsy: Here’s a version I can use that fits the limit:

Seller never shipped the order. I contacted them 4 days ago and they apologized. I tried contacting them again today, but the message bounced back. The estimated delivery date has passed and I still haven’t received the order.

Is this okay to send?

do y'all see how much better it is to just to this than resort to sloppifying your message? do you see?

Abdul El-Sayed shared a fundraising pitch on Bluesky with a shitty, self-made graphic and it's so wholesome and genuine and works just fine.

Trevor. You are a famous, wealthy commedian. Why in the hell are you posting the same lazy, bullshit, slop thumbnails as channels who hit their zenith at 1k subs? You can't pay people to do this shit for you proper? What the hell.

A Trevor Noah video on YouTube about China. Trevor Noah is on the left, his guest (unnamed) is on the right, and behind them is an AI-slopfest of a background with random shit from China on it and "TRUTH about CHINA" written big in that tell-tale slopperific font

Forced ads in cars are horrible and dystopian and shouldn't be a thing except for this guy

Fuck the "dialogs" Coursera makes you do with chatbots in their courses. Here, the bot forgets to give me details I need to answer questions and then supplies them (still missing crucial info), and tells me I'm a super special smart boy for remembering the details in a video I just watched.
