It's incredibly small minded and colonialist to frame all world events in terms of Orange Man Good vs Orange Man Bad.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!

It’s time—it was time, years and years ago—to stop quoting the police for their account of events, esp those involving them, immediately after said event.

“ICE officers shot a man. ICE provided a comment, but will refrain from reporting it until we have more information and confirmation.”

The thing about "prompt engineering" is that you don't even need AI to do it. Just write the prompt. I can write stegosaurus-with-huge-naturals.jpg and your mind does the rest

If this is your reaction to someone telling you to not post AI, buddy idfk what to tell you

Can't even take a bath in peace. 🙄 #caturday

A small bathroom with a slate tile floor and white tile walls. There's a pile of clothes on the floor and three cats (two black, one brown) having a standoff.

The brown cat horked all over the kitchen floor. I tossed him outside and now the shy cat and the chickens are fighting over the "leftovers." 😭

Just watched a gaggle of small children catching orb weavers in their barehands and shoving them into their water bottles. Happy spooky season! 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
