Jenny Nicholson tweet continues to not miss

@JennyENicholson

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

i swear to god every week the last on-call is like "oh it was fine just a couple calls in the evening & on the weekend" & every time i'm on-call, without fail, it's like "oh we had three crashes & i got woken up at 1:30am every night & got 30 calls just on saturday during the DAY."

Ea-Nāşir's perfidy seems eternal!

Comic

Panel one. Stick finger singing, "Raindrops on rose/ And whiskers on kittens."

Panel two. Same stick figure holding pot and singing, "Bright copper kettles leave/ ...Flakes on my mittens!?"

Panel three. Same figure still holding pot and singing, "Hey, these are stone with a copper veneer!"

Fourth panel. Same stick figure has put down pot and is singing, "I've been bamboozled by Ea-Nāşir!"

Cute pumpkin outside our local fabric store. 🎃🪡

A pumpkin dressed up to look like one of those classic "tomato" pin cushions. It has multiple giant "pins" stuck in it.

But when a direction is chosen freely and followed wholeheartedly, it may seem that all things further the going.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

Sharing a painting from my Marshlands series for today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme #glow

Tisha Mark ©2024, Standing in a New Light, oil on linen, 20"x20"

Original is available:
tishamark.com/product/stan...

#art #painting #TraditionalArt #bsnm

Original marshlands landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Standing in a New Light" 20"x20" oil on linen (2024). Landscape painting featuring an orange-toned sky with atmospheric cloud formations appearing to rise up from the first light of day over a coastal marsh. Subtle light and color from the sky reflects in the water, and plays off the textured marsh grasses.

Melissa Sue Stanley 🌿✨🍄 IX Showcase, October @melissasuestanley.bsky.social · 21h

Are you going to Reading this year??

I'll be in the ⭐️ Evening Showcase ⭐️ at Illuxcon with some new sculptures, drawings, and paintings. (And of course just generally bopping around all week with my coffee and a sketchbook and tarot cards and cookies).

See @ixarts.bsky.social for more details!

Photo of a sculpture against a flat grey background, with some white text overlaying. The sculpture is a bright red/orange creature with green leaves growing from its head. They're holding up a tiny houseplant with wonder, and surrounded by many other houseplants on their base. The text reads:
IX ART SHOW
Imagine This
October 22-26, Reading PA
Come see me along with 200 other artists!
