So instead of fixing the problem, they instead just made it so only those with disposable income can access the CP generator. Seems worse…

it's almost like everyone plugging a Just The Polls mindset actually has strong political views that they smuggle into the discussion by careful selection of topic, question wording, etc. but that can't be right

Celestial Reunion - watercolour and acryla gouache on paper
for Magic: The Gathering's "Lorwyn Eclipsed". AD: Jameela Wahlgren
An emotional reunion between two elemental gods. I was asked to lean into a stylized representation of them, and I had a lot of fun playing with the intertwining shapes.

It does feel like we’re coming to a breaking point with Gen AI. Consumer backlash is strong, the companies aren’t profitable, and the slop classification has caught on in a way that CEOs can no longer ignore. Two of Colbert’s guests this week alone were talking about AI backlash and human made art.
Larian writing director says gen AI won't be used for the new Divinity game's writing
Says they tinkered at it for research, and it created work that was "at best" 3/10 in terms of quality, inferior to even his own worst human-written drafts

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

"therapy teaches the worst person you know to put themselves first" was never true in some objective sense. but it had juice in a society obsessed with therapy lingo and telling people to go to therapy. said a thousand times, it being false and mean spirited becomes a bigger part of the picture

it's not that I am simply so contrary that I reject opinions when they get too popular! it's that opinions that are fresh at first tend to calcify into the ugliest versions of themselves through repeated use. that's my take

I'm a very contrary person by nature, and I do feel like this is defensible. the first time you see this take, I think you should go "oh haha yeah therapy can be helpful to manipulators" and when you've seen it a million times you should go "no that's not true shut up"

i feel like "jewish consigliere to nazis" is basically a description of greenwald's entire career
Glenn Greenwald says Nick Fuentes' authenticity makes it easy for critics to "demonize and attack you by taking these quotes that can sound not just very racist, but very almost Nazi-like and kind of an extermination rhetoric." Um, yea. People who use Nazi-like rhetoric tend to get labeled a Nazi.

to put it another way, treachery is intuitively and historically considered a worse evil than open murderous malice
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Finished this one up after some reworking. 👌 The watercolors got too dark and heavy, so I ran the painting under water and scrubbed a lot of it off, but ended up really liking the softer ghosted look that resulted. I went over the line art again with walnut ink and called it done.

Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

I guess what’s really despairing is that this feels like a litmus test of every part of the system, and every part of the system is failing. The media, the democrats, the army, international allies… pretty much everyone is willing to shrug their shoulders here.
It will only embolden them.

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.
