High Tide 🌊 ✨ Hey guys I just finished this new painting in my ongoing series of paintings called ‘A Starry Place’ where I explore spaces that are meaningful and nostalgic to me. This piece is inspired by overcoming insurmountable challenges.

NEW:

A dramatic voiceover video the White House and Donald Trump shared last week claiming to show "chaos" in Chicago is littered with outdated footage from Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Nebraska, California and Arizona, an AFP investigation found.

Not a hot take but if you don’t want a gay kid, or a trans kid, or a disabled kid, or an Autistic kid, or an [insert other thing here] kid: DON’T HAVE A KID.

I've paid Hans' initial vet costs and ER visits, as well as his medication I had to get. The last remaining bit will help me cover rent/utilities this month since I was out of work for about a week for him, not to mention having a tooth pulled. Again, thank you all.

Lowered the goal since I won't need to cover an 84 day antiviral treatment. Everything goes to paying bills and catching up after all the work I've missed. Thank you all, you've been amazing ❤️

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

Please remember this while we fight for free speech and human expression.

We may face short term losses. We already have.

But things dont have to stay that way. Winning hearts and minds, and directing their energy at representatives, can create change even after a bill is passed

Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · Sep 11

Laws, bills, are not set in stone, they dont become an immutable facet of existence the moment a guy in a powdered wig slams down the gavel

Even if you couldnt stop a bill from going through? You can still be part of the force that gets it overturned.

Yesterday, I realized something:

Aladdin has an animal sidekick, sings about his problems, his dad is the King of Thieves, and a big strong man (Genie) helps him out.

Aladdin is a Disney Princess.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

So you know the common complaint of how Dusty from Balto 3 looks like a lazy clone of Aleu from Balto 2?

Yeah I fixed that by redesigning Dusty's facial markings with a simple edit. Something something less is more

Some important news for TikTok fans:

As TikTok is changing hands to a propagandized new malicious algorithm and continues to suppress content, a new app called Skylight is gaining traction! You can join with BlueSky, they're integrated together. It looks neat. Still in beta but worth a try.

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!
