I don’t use generative fill, but I find content aware fill works fine still as long ad you set the sample area

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

In retrospect this had a way larger effect on me then I ever could have imagined.

Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die is the kind of movie I miss seeing in theatres. It’s dark, but a few jokes really landed with me. β€”- we decided to have fun with it!

An odd photo crop on the NYTimes front page causes a picture of Trump and Putin to appear above a sign that  seems to say SKA 2

Look, I admit that we have never had a true 4th wave of #ska but this is not the sequel we need.

A screenshot of the zombo.com domain as of yesterday, looking painfully vibe-coded; the "Zombo.com" text is now in a font that looks nigh-identical to Verdana and has an awful washed-out rainbow gradient, the loading circle animation has been replaced with a pinwheel, and apparently the voice has been replaced with some awful TTS equivalent. There is now a description underneath the page which is some of the most repulsive "quirky" corpo-speak an LLM could possibly muster, which I refuse to transcribe.

Apparently the zombocom domain expired yesterday and was presumably bought out by some other jackass who launched this vibe-coded IMPOSTOR

No Funding for ICE Surveillance Tech!

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.

There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.

Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

24 hours. Go.

I have written many comic books and I would love for you to read them! They are pretty good! Lots of them have queer and trans characters; there’s usually a supernatural element of some kind; often there is a mystery; always there is some humor. Maybe start with The Science of Ghosts?

If they get away with this they will get away with everything. That seems inevitable and incredibly overwhelming and also describes every day in January so far.

The Jan 6th website is scary and disturbing but it’s the best looking thing these lunatics have done. Pour one out for the leftists who were forced to design it.

I know it's frustrating watching the wicked and cruel celebrate Christmas, but remember that it is also International Irony Day.

I would have enjoyed it more but the frame rate changes absolutely melted my brain in a way that I was not prepared for. Didn’t happen for me with the other two.

Still thinking about
#Avatar - mostly about how the frame rate switching prevented me from being present with it. Was it my theatre? Did I need to sit farther back? Are some people just sensitive? I did not enjoy it enough to try again.
