panoramish shot (I caught maybe 93% of it) of my micro-mini-boutique in my artist studio warehouse. From yesterday's open studio, which was LOVELY but now I'd like to sleep for three days please.
I just saw "Sly Stallone" auto-captioned as "Sliced Alone."

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I asked M. if there was something nicer he wanted to say before I went to bed other than telling me that his foot looks so old and weird that it looks animatronic so he had his foot say "I love you" to me.

It's the day before my open studio.

Setting up for Saturday's open studio, featuring "(I'm Not Dead But Sometimes) I Don't Feel So Good."

I could have chosen clamming, junking or selling blood for self-employment, but not artist. 👀

I'm old, self-employed, don't have kids, DO have ADHD — and my most reliable source of dopamine is a snow day. I'd already planned on working at home today but now it's snowing, roads are a mess, so my brain declares SNOW DAY!

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

Friends don't let friends use AI.
Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

I want to stay at the studio and do one more project so I'm gnawing on smoked gouda (I have no knife here) in between popping super stale peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets in my maw. It's remarkably delicious. Kind of an eating-while-camping vibe.

Well this is fascinating, and by that I mean 'will keep me awake worrying about even more now, great.'
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Yes.

Creating a kind of collective psychosis that probably mirrors some of the individual cases of “AI psychosis”
one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

I hadn’t seen any lizards bust in from outside to steal cat food in so long that I started thinking perhaps they forgot how. Nope! An old friend from a year ago let itself inside today

a woman posted a pic in a group chat of a baby turkey she bought thinking it was a chicken. She captioned the pic "IS THIS A TURKEY?!?"

Anyway, I haven't been here because I've been yelling IS THIS A TURKEY at everything. You should try it

My one leaving-the-house appointment got cancelled, so I have the thrill of getting out of something (even though I wanted to do it) AND I can stay home in my pajamas all day and sew things for next week's open studio.
