I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.

Tetsuya Chiba is arguably the most undervalued mangaka outside of Japan. His lasting influence on the visuals of Japanese comics today is greater than that of Osamu Tezuka.

Grant has that Dogsred in him @grantthethief.bsky.social · 10h

Tetsuya Chiba’s art! The flow of the action, the impacts, the sfx lettering, and the expressions have that kinetic oomph you need for selling meaningful fights indistinguishable from a modern boom. But it’s married to the more exaggerated body language + simpler character design ethos of the era.

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

The night before it was due, I noticed an error in my analysis of some data that required me to modify the entirety of my 44-page dissertation overnight in order to properly account for how it affected my results and conclusions. I got a 2:1, the second highest grade possible.

Fuck AI.

I wrote the remaining 20 pages of a 30 page paper on historically comparative drought values the night before it was due AND last minute studied for the 3 finals I had over the course of the next 2 days of which I stayed awake for on a jug filled with NOS energy drinks and coffee grounds.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans grasp how needlessly difficult the current legal process is even for the supposedly simplest, uncontested case of spousal immigration.

Once people learn it takes years and thousands of dollars, they're far more open to easing the process.
