Anyone want a feel-good, true story, read on:
Yesterday I was working with a classmate from Deaf Studies on our group project. She told me, “you’re a prof so you probably won’t like this but I’m using chatGPT to help me”
I asked her (with genuine curiosity) what she was using it for.

Thinking about this in light of the recent FFXIV storyline, which is about if it’s worth it to remove death from society by artificially extending everyone’s “life” in an electronic wonderland that destroys the living in order to exist

This post convinced me to go see this movie in theaters instead of waiting for the stream. I love real art made by real people

My phone updated to Liquid Glass and I am…unconvinced
I don’t mind the added transparency of some objects (although I did change the setting to tinted)
But I haaaate the changes to the icons. These just look smeared now!

I love these kind of design analyses, especially when they connect to the character of, um, the characters

We're doing an Advent calendar of iconic Christmas movie dresses and we're kicking things off with Donna Reed's dutiful wife frock in IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE and how it highlighted the film's themes, time and place:

NOT A ASS OUT PASS OUT PHOTO They didn't have to do my guy like that
The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

Ok, I played the first campaign mission in Renegades and they’ve got me 100% on board

Please don't let the fear of not doing something well stop you from trying it for the first time. Write a messy story. Paint a crappy flower. Whittle the worst wooden bear of all time.

I’ve been kind of wary about the Star Wars theming of Renegades, but I think they’ve convinced me that it’ll still feel enough like Destiny
And the idea that it’s the first Star Wars type thing in another story universe is pretty intriguing
(Mainly I’m excited to get a lightsaber)

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago.
