Mr. Rogers: Even though machines might move or sound like they're talking, they don't have feelings.

Deep in the forest, a forgotten temple ruin overgrown by moss is the final resting place of an old god.

A stone is heaved aside, sunlight warms ancient flagstones.

An offering is placed on the altar - salt, bread, oil.

A prayer is said: "If you can help, do so. If not, persist."

It is answered.

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

Digital illustration based on the Night on Bald Mountain sequence from Fantasia (1940). Chernobog, a black and purple horned demon with huge bat wings is at center. He is gigantic, seated within the peak of the titular mountain with flames rising up around his waist. His wings are outstretched across the greenish-blue swirling sky and he is waving his arms around to direct the howling winds and spooks and ghosts to do his bidding. Some of these apparitions surround a swirl of ghostly lettering reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Happy New Year! We love sharing these pro-book posters from the Works Projects Administration Poster Collection in the Library's Prints and Photographs Division. Of the 2,000 WPA posters known to exist, the Library of Congress's collection of more than 900 is the largest.
Poster for statewide WPA Library Project, Illinois, showing an illustration of a child pulling a sled full of books toward a house. Text reads: "January--A year of good reading ahead."

it’s funny that trillion dollar companies are putting out clip art that would have been cringe for a midsize regional bank’s holiday card circa 1997 and everyone’s just going with it

huh so Google is kicking off the new year by pissing off knitters that’s fun
A Google doodle logo where the o’s in Google are replaced by a bad AI rendition of some non-anatomically correct bright pink knitting. The two needles look like a weird broken screw, there aren’t enough stitches, and it’s all very ugly and low effort. There’s a link: “Make a plan for 2026 resolutions with Al Mode”

A digital illustration of Gritty, the Philadelphia hockey mascot, who is just a huge shambling humanoid shape covered in orange fur, with especially long and flowing fur on his head and beard. Except he is in Full Comrade Mode, wearing a deep red hockey jersey with gold stripes and an emblem in place of the Flyers logo that is a gold-edged red star, encircled partially by a gold sickle, and with a gold hammer crossing behind both. He's posed with his normal manic expression with both arms raised at angles outward. The purging flames of revolution rise behind him and in front of him in fat, red slab-serif lettering is the message 'Maybe it will happen today'.

There is no ethical use of AI because the continued existence of the AI industry is directly harmful to (alongside everyone else) the interests of everyone whose labour makes books exist—writers of fiction & nonfiction, illustrators, translators, researchers, editors, everyone.

Digital illustration of red drawing on a mottled black background. An inverted five pointed star with a goat’s head ears and horns inscribed within the five points. The star itself is inscribed inside a circle. At each point is an inscrutable character which could actually be the letters MIWHT. Within the circle between the points of the star in an occultish script are the words ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

"414 S Main St #10, not sane, stood by itself against its floors, holding darkness within; Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of #10, and whatever walked there, walked alone.”

It's your birthday, Duane.
Duane Kearns Puryear, holding his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It reads, in block letters: "My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 PM. I was 22 old. Sometimes, it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead..." There are several great resources to learn about Duane, his advocacy, his family, his panel, and the politics of memory and re-creation, especially this one by The Dallas Way: http://www.thedallasway.org/stories/written/2021/9/19/duane-puryears-and-the-quilt-panel Duane Puryear died in 1991.

a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.
