it’s past midnight, so technically the 2nd, BUT i haven’t gone to sleep yet which means it’s still the first day of the year to me and this is still my first daily sketch of 2025. photo study of some buildings i saw and liked enough to photograph last week!

#scoutdraws #dailysketch2025

digital painting of several overlapping buildings. in the foreground on the left is a blue stucco retaining wall with plants atop it; to the right of that, a tall gray building with dark windows. in the midground are two pale cream buildings connected across three stories by walkways; behind that, in the distance, is another white building.

I should also mention, because it's Spooky Season, I have a queer horror novel about werewolves and the way that society turns young men into monsters.

it’s not 100% reliable but i’ve found the big sweep can be pretty consistently dodged by staying right up under big chin himself. now, that often results in immediate squashing by said chin, but, maybe it’ll help! i’m also always tanking the previous guardian too so i feel you on lack of DDs 😩

scout! 🐐 @humblegoat.bsky.social · 2d

i have gotten by so far via juicing my health enough to tank the multitude of attacks i can't seem to get the dodge timing on, because those patterns and hit boxes are NOT fun to learn!!!!!

OpenAI’s planned data centers will use more power than New York City & San Diego use at their peak consumption, combined. More power than the entire nations of Switzerland & Portugal combined. And San Altman’s buddies in this administration have been cutting all of our energy infrastructure upgrades

Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s ‘scary’ | Fortune

Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

It’s Banned Books Week, and I don’t need you to buy my book as a solve for it (but buy it if you want to! That’s still extremely cool of you)—I need you to show up for your public libraries and your schools!

it took me less than 5 minutes to do my 3 calls.

"i saw on the news trump is threatening to shut down the government if democrats don't bend the knee over trans healthcare. i will never vote for [rep] again if they give up trans healthcare. i would rather the government shut down."

that's it.
