Happy, Happy #PortfolioDay everyone!

The name is still Erk (Tootern M.) and the stuff I specialize in includes art of all kind (sketches, finished drawings, & paintings) alongside animation. I plan on working more on my own cartoons alongside helping others with their work

I look at this hand-crafted beauty and I think of those oozing genAI vids with photorealistic but uncanny humanoid aggregations of digital data mimicking human beings and environments at the behest of art-hating technofascists, and it does break my heart.

This film was a key reference point for Hayao Miyazaki, and a favorite film of his around the time of The Castle of Cagliostro

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

One thing I'll never get use to is how normal anime is now. You use to start an "anime club" at your school, & it was the same 5 guys into DBZ. Now I walk down the street & there's cars with anime stickers on them every few blocks. You will never know how crazy that is to me.

the worst part when the AI bubble inevitably pops is there's going to be a year of infinite "no one could have predicted this" think pieces and I don't think I'm going to survive my own rage about it

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

It's what these people want, an easy way to differentiate between those who are de facto ennobled and those who are not. The fascist tech bro class has clearly gotten high on their own supply, or I'd be tempted to call it deliberate enshittification, but of how people THINK.

Best case scenario: Great Depression II (which some might say we’re already in if ya wanna be honest about it even though nobody is calling this what it actually is)

Absolutely Worst case scenario: Dark Age II -Techbro Robber Baron Ver.-

I think whats gonna be the only diff between then and now is that *then* the dot com bubble bursting took out folks connected to it but this time the AI bubble bursting is gonna take out darn near everything all b/c ppl are putting their fingers in their ears and going lalalala all for a quick hit.

The Pleasure Vice Principle (he/him/his) @hannibaltabu.bsky.social · 1d

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.

Only enough time for a quick Robin sketch before work.

It’s about time her and her friends get into the holiday season.

I’m hot shit, you know.

Polly Podunk, with sunglasses, a cigar, a fur coat, and two sexy cat ladies hanging on to her. With a smug look, Polly says “Who cares about my year-long webcomic hiatus, my shitty work/life balance, or my severe depression? I beat the Roaring Knight AND Eigong!” The cat lady on the right says “You’re so cool.” Polly answers “I know it, baby.”

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.
