I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

The moment some of us have been waiting for: The Blog Post of the Journey!

Letting it do the first set with dye, per the dye instructions. In approx. 30 min, I'm gonna put it in a water/vinegar bath with the remaining dye and heat set it on the stove. Beyond this point, I am merely winging it.

Don't worry; there will be a blog post of the journey!
Today I am trying dye experiment no. 2. This one is 100% wool, non-superwash, and I'm attempting to dye it with Manic Panic hair dye (because why not? I've wanted to know for a while now). Really hoping I don't end up felting it. If the MP dye doesn't work, I do have Kool-Aid, so. We'll see!

Writing a book isn't about competition, it isn't about winning or getting rich, it's about sitting down with your fucked-up thoughts and weird ideas and putting them on paper to traumatize people who read them. AI will never get that part right.

EVERY HOUSE SHOULD HAVE A DEMON SUCKING BOWL
This Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to introduce you all to the magical curse bowls used in Upper Mesopotamia and Syria in late antiquity. Written in Mandaic (as here) or Syriac Aramaic, they trap demons who trespass on a household by sucking them in with spiraling spells to the center of the bowl.

You get a bat boy rockstar. I originally had him as a sort of demon dog, but he became more bat like so I leaned into it.

Based him off an Egyptian fruit bat.

I might add some more but this is what I came up with hahh

A question for all the people write by hand/draw with pens or markers:

Cap on the back end of the pen, or no? Can you use it one way but not the other?

I have to have the cap on the end because it messes with the weight of the pen. It's difficult to work without it.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

"If I can just get my damn fingers to work properly and type the word I'm trying to type, this would all be so much easier."
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

"No, we don't need a ServiceNow incident when something gets broken in Dev. It's Dev. The developers are supposed to break things in Dev. That's why it's called Dev."

If a fantasy/sci-fi/paranormal romance hero has horns, they'd better be extra sensitive. He's gotta shiver with overstimulated need when she uses them like handles. Ditto for wings and/or tail. Sorry, I don't make the rules, that's just how it is.

Every time somebody tells me they tone down their OCs and sanitize their creative work for fear of backlash I immediately grow horns. No. Get in the car. We're going straight to Derangement HQ with a side of Fuck That fries.

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023

In regards to the 'require alt text' setting:

(also the autoplay gifs and videos setting)

Happens whenever you have to log back in, too, or clear cache/cookies.
Every time the app updates, it defaults to off.
