The consistency is kind of like a sticky lace cookie. We're calling it granola leather.

Finktober Day 7: Motion. Dynamism of a Dog Rolling on a Lawn, inspired by Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash by Giacomo Balla.

6 ink drawings of a dog rolling in his back, all superimposed over each other to capture his range of motion.

A painting of a Dachshund on a leash. The dog's legs and tail, as well as his mistress's feet and the leash, appear in semi-transparent mulitples, arranged in arcs to show their range of movement as they hurry along.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon says she's leading the department's "final mission" to shut down. But @megomatz.bsky.social and I found it's more than that: Political appointees from ultraconservative groups are in power at ED now, and they hope to dismantle public schools.

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

It wouldn't let me uninstall unless I gave a reason so I checked "other" and wrote "AI." In the middle of uninstalling it opened a whole new browser window to advertise their new AI products! And when it was done there was a popup telling me about their other programs!!

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Ever have an uninstall experience so bad that you wonder if they have a scorched earth policy? Like maybe if they had changed the rates or policies that made you quit the program you'd have considered coming back, but uninstalling was such a nightmare that nothing could ever get you back?

Stole this from Facebook. Fox does indeed keep using that word and I do not think it means what they think it means.

A screenshot from the latest Fox "News" segment where the same masked man they claimed was a "Mexican Mafia Member" was trotted out to poorly cosplay a "former antifa member" -- but Jesse Watters' head has been replaced with Vizzini from the Princess Bride and the masked man is now The Dread Pirate Roberts.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire
