you don't suck at art. you're learning. you aren't an awful writer, you're still understanding how things work. You aren't horrible, you see the places in your work that have space for improvement. Even if you think your art isn't the best, you still created something and you should be proud of that

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

„Love, JoJo“ is up on my little zine shop for free download!

It’s got a little bit of everything but it’s mostly the Josuke & Okuyasu show, because they’re my favorite 🥲❤️👉 rennerei.itch.io/love-jojo

Mozilla's pivot to AI-first browsing raises fundamental questions about what a browser should be. While ML tools like local translation offer real utility, LLMs are opaque black boxes. Waterfox won't ...

2025 was pretty rough for most of us. But you're still here, bro. "But I didn't achieve my goals" Maybe not, but working toward them is never a waste. The things you managed to do, work on, learn, and create is plenty of an achievement. Give yourself some credit. You did your best. You did great.

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.
We can do even more.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.

This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

the thing about moral panics is they aren't about moral panics. it's about community control and rampant bigotry. censorship is a tool of fascists, those who purity police are fascists, and if your disgust agrees with their mission more than the right for fiction to gross you out, you are a fascist

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second:

one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable

that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger
