Over the past decades, the rise of smartphones & social media has conditioned us to expect images of any event to be available in real time. If something was happening, you could be sure to see it online. Now, AI slop exploits this expectation by feeding us images that feel more real than reality

So the US House Speaker uses an app that randomly takes screenshots and send them to his son. Sounds like a security issue. Also why are grown men needing accountability partners for porn? If you can’t control yourself maybe you shouldn’t be a part of society.

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

I’m glad we all spotted the 3rd arm in the the reporter getting arrested AI video. It reminded me there may come a time where there are no more tells in AI video. Not really sure what we’re supposed to do then.

Just found out someone bought our favorite airstream coffee shop and opened it back up. I can’t wait to check it out in the morning. They even have Halloween flavors.

NEVER LET THE PARTY DIE!

Float through the sky and can see the clouds up close. This is after the sun has set behind the clouds on the horizon.

What's left of the Wreck of the Peter Iredale

#oregoncoast #oregon #pnw #eastcoastkin #tidesouttuesday #blueskyartshow #photographersunited #scape #landscapephotography #photography

A black and white image of the rusted metal remains of a shipwreck with one kid climbing up the front and another walking toward it. The remains of the wreck are small and don't particularly appear ship-like.

Here’s a pretty orange and teal sunset for you.

Sunset over the river with bridges. Clouds in the sky. Oranges and teals with soft yellows and grays.

Day 11 is Atlas for #Mythtober I worked up a couple ideas on the iPad. Here’s one of the more colorful ones. #painting #dailypaintjng#wip #mythology #folklore #abstractlandscape

A giant blurry world and two Roman pillars with an abstracted purple and green landscape. Orange swirly background and pink sky. Digital painting by me on iPad.

I received print today and it’s even more beautiful in person. Support a good cause and get this art print for your walls.

A close up of an art print featured veggies and flowers with a rake and seed packets. Olive green mingles with mint, pinks with gray and purple. Part of the poster reads “SEEDS FOR A SAFER WORLD
FO BUILD
the things we know Must
exist.
~ Mariama Kaba”

The artist printed sig in bottom right
COSTELLO

Photo taken at an angle on a glass table so you can’t see the entire print. The colors are vibrant against the dark background.

Back of a postcard with hand written artist info and a little spiderweb drawing with flowers.
Thanks so much for supporting my work!

Gray and stormy today. Feeling Halloweeny.

New pfp of me with some little sketch additions and things. black and white contrast. I have a little bit of magenta pink paint or blood coming from my mouth and forehead. A paintbrush is pushing into my forehead. I have on black glasses and a black tank top and I’m looking side eye. A chromatic seashell fills one eyeglass lens.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Wrote a thing. Again. Telling the truth is generally regarded as a matter of intention and moral character, but it's also a skill: the ability to delineate accurately what's going on out there and who exactly the parties are....
