www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/l... Reading this Des Moines Register article was a real pain. They basically start selling the AI-generated T-shirts on behalf of the Iowa State Fair. THEN they just equivocate AI image generators to any "computer program". Such a shit take. Smh
Should AI designs be eligible for Iowa State Fair's T-shirt contest?

Not only do I not use ChatGPT, but I still don’t know how to get to it, I don’t want to know, and I have no interest in even learning. I consider this to be one of my better qualities even though it sounds extremely “I don’t even OWN a TV”
Don’t apply to Shortbox. Support the artists directly when they post on their storefront. A lot of us posted our SBCF comics for free or at a discount after the fair was over. At the end of the day, we just want people to read our comics, and that’s good enough. Cheers, - Kan Pham (KOHIU)
Don't know what to tell you, dude. Guess I should have been a theatre major. Back drop, mascot head, and pencil hats all made ahead of Stationery Store Day tomorrow.

In unrelated news, an alarming number of flies showed up in the print shop this week. This morning, I arrived to find they suddenly all died. Should I be expecting the arrival of Beelzebub?

I took this very mundane photo and look how scary it turned out.

There are 120 anti-data center protests happening nationwide today organized by is Humans First, a conservative advocacy group chaired by a Tea Party veteran. Unrestricted growth of AI data centers is one of the more visible areas where MAGA is openly disagreeing with Trump.

Went last year and I bought too many books so if you go this year I will probably also buy a bunch of your books.
Filthy Loot@filthyloot.bsky.social · 3w agoDo you live in the Midwest? Are you a horror creative? You have until tomorrow 🫣 (July 15) to enter the lottery for a table at One of Us: Horror Book Fair. We're looking for more than authors and publishers, and we're hoping to build an even more diverse mix of horror creatives.
