Did all of our bustling around during Small Business Saturday, bought a few prezzies and treats with cash, and finished up as Winter rolled in like a monster truck into our region! Gonna huddle down with a slow cooker dinner, family, and some art today. Gotta make bread for the kids, too!

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

One thing that struck me about my recent visit to the art museum is the realization that if these great masterpieces were posted online as if they were finished today, they likely wouldn’t have many reactions or comments (and they would be censorbotted for showing a female nipple!)

My family had a chill night with a shark cutie spread to munch on while we watched The Secret of NIMH.
So, um, now that I’m grown up, that movie is absolute nonsense! Still pretty, though.
Happy Thanksgiving! I’ll be enjoying a Black Friday Blackout. No social media. No shopping.

Keep his soft little gropey baby hands off one of our most valuable public services! We’re even taught in school how essential the USPS was to forming this nation.
It’s anti-patriotic to dismantle it!

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

A big pile of old Legend of the Five Rings CCG sealed product fell into my lap today. A mix of Diamond, Celestial, and late Emperor/early Ivory packs. The more research I do, the more it amazes me how different the various eras of L5R actually were.

psst! I found some baby pictures of Kaiser! He's an old man now, but I remember when he was just a lil fluffnugget. Included are some pictures of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, our doxie who had a genetic condition that absolutely wrecked her spine.

Had a tremendously fun weekend in downtown Kansas City while the kids attended Planet Anime. We explored some places we’ve been meaning to visit but the kids were too young and we got to ride the newly extended light rail down to the art museum! Good food, culture, and company. Great staycation!
