What's a proof? It's the first printed copy.
starting to think that 'AI art' and 'art made with AI' will be very relevant distinctions tbh. stuff in the recognizable lazy AI house style will probably always be low status and derided because the creators will be people who don't give a shit. well made art with AI will simply be considered art.
Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who donโt make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.
Look Iโm all for spooky time skulls and skeletons (hell I have five actual skulls in my house year round) but ffs can we stop with the fake bone ears? Itโs Cartilage Jeff, itโs not a bone!! Itโs not gonna survive when all the other soft tissue is gone.
โthis person is bad so their work was always badโ is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards โbut I do like this other personโs work, ergo they must be a good personโ
which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true
This skeet made me wonder โwas Blade good? They made three of โem, right? Wesley Snipes was at the top of his gameโฆ should I rewatch all of Blade as a bit?โ In the space of ten seconds.
"According to Ashley Brouillette, he once threw boiling water at her while she was holding their child โ an incident her mother Avis Collins also recounted."
took almost no pics of my own at the Dumpster Raccoon Hellfire Gala (thank god I booked a photographer!) but here were some of my fits last night (with bonus physical relief spandex unzip lol)
I was explaining a scene with Axel in KH2 to a friend and started imagining how lost a person would be who only played Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, and 3. Nomura sure was wily with this series.
Trump: "Some countries had no mental institutions. The mental institutions were taken -- all of those people were taken to our southern border and allowed to just walk freely into our country under Sleepy Joe Biden."
We're losing our quacking minds because rehearsals for @thefuzzymaskedman.bsky.social 's Heart of Duckness begin today and we can't wait one more moment to introduce you to our wonderful cast!
This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history
When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines
The American Dream is to make enough money to retire well, not to work until youโre 79 or more. Please, Susan, step down already. Go eat some blueberries on the beach.
Maine Sen. Susan Collins (R) said that she has a benign essential tremor, telling a local news outlet that she has had it for the length of her nearly 30-year Senate career.
Collins, 73, is running for a sixth term in the Senate.
I mostly write plays out of spite because I have had to sit through so many bad plays and this year my third short is being produced in a festival. Just do the thing.
The dumbest, worst, most annoying person has already done the thing you want to do and someone probably loved it. So you might as well just make the thing
He canโt help himself, heโs a wealthy failson who just never learned! Thatโs why people are tripping over themselves to forgive all his indiscretions. He tells it like it is. And if it isnโt heโll give a mealymouthed โIโd like to be better than the guy (myself) who said those things.โ
Itโs profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that thatโs what Daredevil is for
Iโm on a road trip and have been thinking about this since picking up a Sailor Jupiter plush last night, but whoโs in your top three Sailor Scouts?
Mine are: Jupiter, Uranus, Mercury.
Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.
Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been โinundatedโ with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesusโฆ
This week Iโve been watching a lot of The Great Canadian Baking Show and The Great Pottery Throwdown with my mom and wondering why these formats donโt work in America. Americans just arenโt as supportive of their fellow competitors. I think we can solve this though with a format fusion.

Second: The judges get to select who theyโd like to eliminate but that isnโt certain because weโre introducing the BAKERโS DOZEN (tribal council).
The baker the judges select gets half plus one votes compared to the total remaining members of the Bakerโs Dozen (which obvi starts with 13), but! The winner of the technical could protect that person and risk their seat, or you could sway the rest of the council to take out the top spot.

First: We make the technicals actually matter. Best baker in the technical gets immunity for the week (which they can keep or give to a baker they like).
I seem to recall Susan Collins saying that she wouldnโt approve unrestricted absentee voting (similar to what we have in Maine) because she didnโt think it would be right to enforce Maineโs views over all jurisdictions. Interestingโฆ
Announcers when the skier is .1 seconds ahead of the leader: "Incredible. We have never seen anything remotely like what she is doing right now."
Announcers when the skier is .1 seconds behind the leader: "Humiliating. Her family is going into hiding to avoid any connection to this debacle."
