The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

But also, if your argument is that you need to use generative AI because otherwise your art is “bad”, let me reassure you:
The art you get from these models is also bad. Much, much worse, in fact. It carries the superficial signifiers of quality, but it is trash.

Regarding the Discourse, lemme just say that if you can't draw, yes you can.
Everyone can draw, and folks will almost certainly respond more positively to your stick figures than some generic "A.i." slop.
Also, there are LOADS of resources for free images. Like this! 🧵

ooooh, HAVE FUN!
I was gifted a 35-70mm from a good friend, so I’ve coupled it with my old Nikon F4s. I’ve not put a roll through this camera since the mid/late 90s (can’t remember exactly), so this should be fun…

We have some great #Nikon gear in Used, too - from the manual-focus N2000 to the autofocus F70, and darn nice glass, too - like that 300/4 telephoto and that GEM of a lens, the 17-55/2.8 DX (for DSLRs)! #Milwaukee #FilmPhotography #DigitalPhotography

dang, you DO like your #CanonEF gear! :)
Always. Those are great cameras. Have an original Rebel, Rebel 2000 and an Elan 7E and they are all nice enough to use. The original Rebel even still has a great VF that was sacrifices on the later rebels for size and weight.

Some sweet Used gear currently in stock...like this #CanonElan7 with Tamron 24-70mm! There are also a few simple #CanonRebel kits, too! Really, these are a great, inexpensive way to get into SLR #FilmPhotography! :) #Milwaukee #photography

Estimates of how long Phil was stuck in the time loop range from about 9 years to 30-40 years to 10,000 years. Related, many of the early Universalists still believed in hell but thought you would be released after a certain number of years. There were INTENSE disagreements about precisely how long.
Bluesky suspended me over Groundhog Day so I didn’t get to post about one of the greatest movies of all time

As an Eagle Scout, let me say this is an opportunity for Scouting America to stop having a partnership with the U.S. Military.
Breaking news: The Pentagon issued a warning to Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts, saying the organization risks losing its long-standing partnership with the U.S. military unless it rapidly implements “core value reforms.”
Pentagon warns Scouts to restore ‘core values’ or lose military support
The relationship dates back decades, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has criticized the organization for allowing girls to join and changing its name from Boy Scouts.

In 1946, cartoonist & illustrator Noel Sickles was sent by Life magazine to sketch the Nuremberg trials. Here is his sketch of the execution of Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who claimed at trial that his boss had made all of the important decisions, & that he was only following orders.
