I've now made it my life's mission to explain to all and sundry that "AI" in 2025 is GENERATIVE AI.
Generative AI uses machine-learning algorithms to put together new content based on patterns learned from their training data.
GenAI is not a search engine. GenAI knows nothing. It makes up stuff.

Drawing! Art creation, at any rate.
Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

This turn-of-the-century Rosh HaShanah card goes hard. The Old Year struggles in the water while the New Year stands on the shore, and a Yiddish inscription urging the old year to "drown forever already"

I have the genuine feeling that everyone is know has the same wish for 2026, just with variations.
As an example, I would like the Hague involved. Someone else might settle for humiliation, ir my Mother would have wanted Supermax.
But its the same wish.

I have reached the dreaded hands part of drawing practice, but at least with reference photos it’s going alright.
(My uni art course teacher would tell me I need to lean wayyy more into shadows, and pull out the highlights only toward the end.)

I feel I need to watch Heated Rivalry just out of spite for those straight male reviewers who are aghast at the very thought that for five hot seconds, one single thing is not about catering to their own personal flavor of lust.

The quiet desperation of the mystery thriller reader who hates gratuitous violence against women, overabundant adjectives, and most of all the trope of the TORTURED female protagonist having a DARK PAST that comes back to HAUNT HER.
