This is NOT about preservation. They are only doing this to harvest pre 2020's books to use for more training data. They have chosen this method that DESTROYS the book on purpose, because it is faster and cheaper. They know time is limited before society and the bubble catches up with them.

At the internet Archive, this is how to digitize a book.

We never Destroy a book by cutting off its binding.
Instead, we digitize it the hard way -- one page at a time.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

I long for the day I can be in my own space with less concern for volume or noise because I desperately want to relearn my viola from my teen years. It's been 10 years since I played it proper and a lot of the muscle memory is gone... i was 1st chair for so many years so it hurts my soul a bit haha

How comics actually work: some pages take an hour and some pages take eight hours and they're not always the ones you'd think. There are sometimes entire weeks taken up by research that MUST be completed before you can progress. And you also must account for several days lost to the Horrors

The ProShot of HADESTOWN briefly blowing through theaters right now is such an intimate, intense delight. It's half like watching the show, half like being in it. André De Shields makes a full-on meal just out of unbuttoning his jacket in the opening, and the audience couldn't be more on board.

Bury my Heart (Galehaut Laid to Rest) "And Lancelot himself lay his companion to rest inside the tomb. After he had laid Galehaut down, he kissed him three times on the mouth in such agony that his heart nearly leapt out of his chest." Lancelot Part IV (Lancelot-Grail /Vulgate Cycle) #Arthuriana

The south and midwest are not worthless and you should not write them off. They are full of wonderful, brave, clever people who want it to be better here. It is full of queer people and people of color. It is built on the ancestral homes of indigenous people. We matter.

Ohhhh man the Hadestown proshot film is goood shiiiiiiiit I cried the same amount as I did when I saw it live for the first time but for whole new reasons!! very good proshot 10/10 honestly tied with Hamilton in terms of filming of a stage show ...now i'm excited for SIX next month 👀

Contrast is actually really important for appeal. Not just contrast between your characters and their timing, but also within the scenes, sequences and overall season. If you pump everything up to 12/10 right out of the gate you have to stay there and people expect you to keep going.

I'm doing a workshop with some students and a lot of my advice is like ,less movement - less words. ('dialog is not acting' is a refrain) So many people with a love of characters make the mistake of only focusing on those 'fun' aspects and gloss over everything else that communicates just as much!

Have made some GREAT progress in the comic clean-up these last 2 weeks I am STOKED even when working on the stage I enjoy the least. I cannot WAIT to actually call chapter 1 DONE for REAL!! Until then, update on my overall progress, and a peek at a panel from chapter 2;

a google sheets/excel of my progress on my webcomic "Those Sweet Satyrs" pages... CHAPTER ONE! 
The first 3 chapters will be FINISHED before I start posting them so that I have a year-long cushion/buffer! a google sheets/excel of my progress on my webcomic "Those Sweet Satyrs" pages... CHAPTER TWO! 
the pale orange blocks are for character art that cannot be finished until backgrounds are completed first (a crowd shot of centaurs sitting in a church.. guh) a google sheets/excel of my progress on my webcomic "Those Sweet Satyrs" pages... CHAPTER THREE! 
Have been holding off on cleaning this one up as much as I can until chapters 1 and 2 are DONE. otherwise I'll just be bouncing around forever @-@ A zoomed in panel of my webcomic "Those Sweet Satyrs," chapter 2, yet to be released! In the mid-ground a male centaur (yellow, pink, and orange) named Peach lounges next to the protagonist, a female satyr (brown, gold, and white) named Cinnamon. They sit on a grassy hill overlooking a peaceful meadow. In the background lays a city on a hill, with a castle at the top. The mountains in the background are more green than brown. The sun is beginning to lower off-screen.

I think I'm finally feeling more like my "normal" self that I haven't been in...basically 4 years? now that i've adjusted to my medication! Been getting a LOT of work done on the comic (1/2 of chapter 1 is *done!*) but *so* much i need to take a screen break and read a paper book for my poor eyes

【お知らせ】本日7/22で『とんがり帽子のアトリエ』は連載開始からなんと10周年を迎えました…!10年?!マジで?そんなに描いてたんだ…!と驚きです。長く続けてこれたのもひとえに読んでくれる読者の皆さまが居るおかげ、本当にありがとうございます。これからもココたちの冒険をよろしくね! #Δ帽子 #witchhatatelier #とんがり帽子のアトリエ

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

i personally think creatives benefit from talking and thinking way more about things they *like.* understanding what you like and why gives you a direction to take your work in; focusing on what you don’t like makes a tiny negative dent in the universe of your taste at best and limits you at worst

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇
