Took myself out to a gay bar in Edinburgh solo. My social skills have entirely atrophied.
I just realised... after 20 mins, the weird guy across the bar giving me evils... is my reflection.

I expect the extreme right to lie. But I'm exhausted when I see the left editing images, using AI and misrepresenting things. The truth is enough, we don't need to stoop to the level of liars and tyrants.

Today we moved my father into a care home.
Today has been one of the worse days of my life.
Today has been an enormous relief and release.
Today my mother can start painting again.
Today I had to hold my father and cradle him.
Human emotions are an insane cocktail...

I know it's not the point. But AI art has this really unique kind of ugliness to it. Even when it's vibrant, or convincing... when you look carefully there is this terrifying absence: Looking into the eyes of an AI avatar is like putting a small part of your soul into a meat grinder.

Weird folk online: Greek mythology was full of beautiful white people. When adapted it needs to be cast only with beautiful white people!!! This is OUR heritage!!!
Actual Greek mythology: Just... like... SO much incest.
