Another amazing video from Reject Convenience.

Another title for the video could be: "How to make AI optional". An approach that's rarely part of the narrative when people are addressing the elephAInt in the room.

Are you sick of the constant discussion of AI? Me too, so I spent an entire year trying to find a solution to make AI optional. I hope you enjoy! youtu.be/R-edYoZZosg

Lulu creates bubbles and skates around on them.

Girly pop vibes

Image depicts three instances of my OC Lulu, a character with purple hair with a puffball hairstyle that looks like bubbles, a pink puffy coat and long green shirt. Her power lets her create and skate around on bubbles

#Hatchetman

Charon and Penny have a brief talk before some tea.
“You still smoke those damn things?” “Yep.” Charon replied, blowing smoke just after. “Didn’t Winston talk to you about quitting?” “Come on, Penny, you know he smokes as much as me,” the man replied, a glib smile on his face. Penny sighed, a hand to her forehead as they walked towards the parlor. The young reporter was on edge, even more than usual. Despite her general cheer, when things got under Penny’s skin it was beyond clear. Her fingers brushed through her brown locks of hair, her jade green eyes closed as she removed her glasses and placed them in her pocket. “Can’t be that bad, the smoke’s going downwind...and if you were really worried about me I have more serious health concerns,” Charon said. He was still in a fairly good mood, but he wondered if it was the painkillers he was one. They helped, but he couldn’t overdo it. A little pain and staying sharp was worth the alternative of being dull and dead. “Yeah, yeah. It’s just...This case is a lot. People around here aren’t exactly eager to talk to outsiders, even at a good time.” “Can’t blame ‘em,” Charon remarked as he walked with Penny, looking down at her. He made a mental note to put out the cigarette before he went in. He had had a scuffle or two with the Longmen, but he hadn’t made any real enemies. Given Pax Romana’s men coming after him, he couldn’t afford for another mob to put him in the crosshairs. He then looked over at Penny. “So, how do you know about this place.” “A friend of mine works here,” Penny said quickly. “Oh? I haven’t heard you talk about this friend before,” Charon teased. He smiled as he looked down at her. “So, what’s her name?” “...Shan. Listen, Char, just don’t embarrass me in front of her, please,” Penny said, grabbing his sleeve. “This is already hard enough without you acting like a goof.” “Pen, c’mon, do you know anyone smoother than me?” Charon asked playfully. “I’ve met sandpaper smoother than you,” she said back. “That so? Guess I’ll need to pour on the char… The pair of them looked at the building. A three story building. The first thing that Charon noticed as the sign he read. “’Lin’s Tea Parlor’?” “Shan’s grandma owns the place,” Penny replied, taking a deep breath. “That’s what she tells me, anyway.” “So is it Shan or her grandma who knows about the Hatchetman?” Charon asked. “All she told me was to come here and keep it off the record, but with everything going on...I don’t think putting this in the Oracle is the move,” Penny said. Charon raised a brow, surprised. “Really? Something splashy like this, even if you keep your source off the record, might put you on the map. You afraid Hatchetman’s gonna come for you?” “No. I think the only ink worth spilling for that bastard is when the obituary’s in,” Penny said quietly. “Every day there’s a new story about him, or what he’s done. It feels like our lives are being dictated by one monster terrorizing the city.” “Could be your bosses should highlight other stories, but even monsters attract parasites,” Charon said. “How’s the saying go? ‘If it bleeds it leads’?” “Something like that, but that’s not the kind of news I want to build my career on,” Penny told him before sighing, shoring up her nerves. “Okay, I’m ready.” Nodding, Charon went in with her, the pair of them hearing bells ring before they entered. The place was silent. A single, well kept rug of red and gold was on the floor, with wooden boards around otherwise. Several tables were set, though there appeared to be no customers there. Just an older woman, short with her hair in a bun. With her was a young woman around Penny’s age and a young man. “You made it. My granddaughter said her friend would be here, but nothing about a man.” Penny spoke up first, approaching. “He’s my assistant. Here to make sure everything goes right.” “Is that so?” the older woman asked, mirth in her tone. She looked to Charon appraising him. “Quite muscular for an assistant.” “I do some heavy lifting here and there, ma’am,…
