One WW2 vet that became a chemical engineer, the other a career Marine (Vietnam) that went into teaching after retirement

I mean, supporting Israel to trigger Armageddon has been a core tenet of far-right US Christians for decades now. Even if he himself doesn’t believe it, he’s surrounded by people who most certainly do.

I know a bunch of Aussies and Euros that came over here for school back in the day which, fair enough, but now they’ve all planted roots here and I don’t get it. I guess it’s hard to pick up and move your life, even if you’re nominally returning home

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

It’s a mirror universe where Tom Wilson gets in a fight and isn’t the one suspended

The problem is that if the tire blew, you don’t necessarily know if it took anything out with it — those things are pumped to like 200psi and shrapnel is a legit concern. So you get to do a precautionary landing to check.

I had a blast with the first four or so levels, but further on they seem to get more and more balanced to co-op which can make solo a real slog

Big recommend, I got a cheap autocord last year and it’s been a blast

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

I sketch almost exclusively in ballpoint pen nowadays, and it's still my medium of choice for plein air studies:

Andy Warhol is another one who was quietly killer at drawing. Saw some at his museum and it kinda blew my mind.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains

Show me what you can do with just a pen!

I don’t break out the pens much for final works anymore, but it was my main medium back in college

A grid of art with a picture of the artist in the middle. Clockwise from top left: a print of a belted kingfisher; a linocut snowy mountain landscape with a blue sky; an engraved print of a woman looking at the viewer; a couple of cartoony airplanes done in crayon; three black and white photographs of architecture and trees; and a linocut print of a desert mountain landscape

It was a slow year for printmaking, but I’ve had a blast with medium format photography and developing my own film, and I’ve had a bunch of fun drawing for the wee one

DC residents have been refusing to call that airport anything but National for almost thirty years, we certainly can refuse to call that arts center anything but the Kennedy Center for three
