Ten minute gestural drawing. I like how this one came out.

Goldfinch, pencil and watercolor on cold-press paper. I'm very happy with this one.

I get it. You can pretend like you don't. But I do.

Universities have spent decades framing education as having no purpose other than providing a credential for employment. You're not here to do something wasteful like learn, you're here to increase your earning potential.

Why not use the magical cheating machine?

That's probably been the reason. Work has been really really intense for several months. That hasn't really changed, but I am trying to give myself a little space for creative outlets.

I haven't felt that urge to put a paintbrush in my hand in a couple of months. Happy to report that changed recently.

Really pushing that Sapir Whorf hypothesis to the breaking point but that’s great sci fi. Also just Villeneuve doing his thing, and doing it excellently.

Dust off your linguistic skills and join us as we discuss the science fiction drama, Arrival. With the help of our special guest Dr. Deb Trusty, we discuss the similarities and differences between the film and Ted Chiang's original short story. Listen now at movieswedig.com or wherever you listen!

Wow I until now did not realise the relevance of #video games re #archaeology & architecture - πŸ‘ @archaeologytube.bsky.social

The cure to male loneliness is making up characters and telling stories about them.

Correct me if I’m off base here but I think every single word of this, starting with β€œmost experts” might be wrong?

There was a sense for a long time among centrist Dems that the very wealthy could be an important ally because their financial incentives could be leveraged for good. You could pressure them to do the right thing to protect their assets. Makes some sense.

Lmao they clearly do not give a shit.

Where is the outrage from industry about stuff like this?
The last year has convinced me completely that the wealthy in this country actually do not care at all about the businesses and industries they purportedly run. They understand that their wealth is secured. They have become truly pointless.

I thought the whole point was that AI was β€œdemocratizing” art and coding and all those pesky creative fields that used to take education and practice?

Stuff like this makes you worry about the kleptocracy

Oh my god that ratio I don’t know how many wedgies you got in high school but it probably wasn’t enough

Pretty much I always agree there’s an overeagerness to make it about Biden somehow, but I think the point being made here is that trump is already polling as low as Biden at his absolute lowest point when he should be much much higher (according to historic trends)
