I need an artist to design (and optionally produce, if you’ve got the equipment,) a patch for my cosplay group. Still nailing down the text. The art is a nebulabia (a nebula shaped like a vulva with a 🌟 in the right place.) 💙💜🤍 maybe 🩶 on 🖤 background. Pixel or needle artists? Need them late July.

This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican / Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.

Guillermo del Toro, Netflix, and Gobelins have teamed to open a stop-motion studio in Paris. The endeavor shares a kindred spirit with Mexico's El Taller del Chucho, also co-founded by del Toro, and will honor stop-motion legend Mark Gustafson.

hiiiii here’s a comic i made about having a job and being overwhelmed (1/7)
comic cover!!! featuring the main character, Dina, looking nervous and sweaty. She’s a young woman in an ill-fitting work shirt and pencil skirt with her dark hair tied up in a bun and bangs pinned with a dog-shaped clip. Some sort of ominous shadow looms over her. Text reads: FELT BAD, MET GOD by molly kate young (aka longfusilli) (aka ME!!!!)

An old friend of mine bought a GPU with a huge amount of RAM (years ago) so he could run GPT-2 (or maybe -3 I forget) on it to generate My Little Pony fanfiction. It was a nice party trick, but it didn’t pan out.

One way of thinking about the AI bubble is that it's the final gasp of a grift based on specialized GPU's instead of tulips, a logical continuation from crypto and NFT's and the metaverse.

Like, there's nowhere else for it to go, no other magical use for this shit other than as electronic waste.

The first speculative bubble in history was caused by a virus.

Let's talk about 'Tulipmania', which shaped the economy of the Netherlands 1630-1637 CE.

The Dutch ambassador to Turkey's leader Suleiman the Great named a gifted flower "tulipant" a Turkish word for turban (often decorated w a flower)
The Tulip Folly, by Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1882
Gérôme illustrates an incident during the "tulipomania", or the craze for tulips, that swept the Netherlands and much of Europe during the 17th century. The tulip, originally imported from Turkey in the 16th century, became an increasingly valuable commodity. By 1636/7, tulipomania peaked, and, when the market crashed, speculators were left with as little as 5 percent of their original investments. In this scene, a nobleman guards an exceptional bloom as soldiers trample flowerbeds in a vain attempt to stabilize the tulip market by limiting the supply.

I don’t want to silence most unknown callers, just the ones that say “probable spam.” It’s breaking my brain that I can’t seem to make this happen. Maybe I need to delete 18 GB of Great Gundam Project episodes and Steely Dan albums to try iOS 26. Probably I should talk to my brother about new phones

Okay yeah Pepe is good again. I'm still going to be cautious about places where using a variety of Pepe emotes is common practice, but 🐸 good. 🐸 friend.

Can I just say it’s nice to see a frog used as a mascot and taking power from the one used and twisted by the right. Big difference takes balls and humour to be them frogs on the line compared to a faceless person behind a racist meme.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid
Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

one of my favorite sketchbook comics, anime press conference
PANEL 1: A close-up drawing of Goku from Dragon Ball.
PANEL 2: A mayor is reading prepared remarks from a lectern to the press. MAYOR: "Goku is the Mickey Mouse of fighting"
PANEL 3: MAYOR: "Luffy is Goku but with long arms and--" REPORTER 1: "BOO!" MAYOR: "Let me finish--long arms and flip-flops."
PANEL 4: REPORTER 2: "Mr. Mayor, are you speaking in terms of official policy recommendations or as a private citizen?" The mayor dabs away sweat. MAYOR: "Please, Tom, there'll be time for questions at the end."
PANEL 5: REPORTER 3: "These are serious allegations--" MAYOR: "Every Gundam is worse than Voltron--" REPORTER 4: "Man, fuck this!" 
PANEL 6: MAYOR (visibly sweating): "Please, I have to get through this: Every Gundam is worse than Volton because his hands are lion mouths." REPORTER 1: "BOOOOOOOOO"
PANEL 7: Security hoists up a reporter to eject him. SECURITY 1: "You're done, Fake News" REPORTER 1: "This is a democracy!"
PANEL 8: The mayor continues. MAYOR: "Pokemon was a dry run for QAnon." REPORTER 1: "The people have a right to a free press!"
PANEL 9: MAYOR: "Naruto is the Donald Duck of fighting."
PANEL 10: Another reporter stands up and interrupts the mayor. REPORTER 5: "How many more--" MAYOR: "Boruto--" REPORTER 5: "How many more of these--" MAYOR (insistent): "BORUTO is Naruto with worser hair."
PANEL 11: REPORTER 6: "How many more of these unfounded allegations are you going to--" MAYOR: "Questions at the end, Laura!"
PANEL 12: MAYOR: "Evangelion is suicidal ideation Tenchi Muyo."

Are the stickers on the Police Zaku kit terrible or am I doing them wrong? I think I’m just gonna clearcoat over them, probably with my quick dry acrylic nail polish topcoat.

Classic hardcore already exists and is played. Players will take an opt-in hard mode to flex/challenge/whatever reason people do that. They already have “mythic mounts are guaranteed while current and rare later.” You don’t need to go full fomo. Opt-in hard mode is the way. Or maybe I opt elsewhere.
nuclearbob.net
Actually yeah, this is it. People who want rewards that only a limited number of people can get (hall of fame, top % titles) play in hard mode with restrictions, the rest of us just coast to our unlimited rewards. If you want, keep mythic raids in hard mode too. Or keys over 15, rated pvp, whatever.

Ohhh she’s cute!

How about: RwF on tournament realms with no addons. Every player gets a helper looking over their shoulder to communicate important information to them and their team. The rest of us get uncapped crests so we can play the fucking game. Separate “serious” from “I just want the fomo PvE mounts, guys”
