A comic book and webcomic reader and hobbyist. Sci-Fi fan. Play Starfinder. Fallout 4 and Red Dead. Progressive liberal. Despise AI. May have been on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.
Writing an encounter in fog town's dead ends where the 1st level pcs are in a pitched battle with decayed shed parts of barathu to stop an insane and dying barathu from killing innocents in an evil ritual. Reskinning -1 monsters to be the barathu leprotic shards. #starfinder
I find it offensive that chicken gizzards are $3.69 a pound when chicken breasts are $2.99
I support individual Democrats. I love Democratic policies. I do not support the Democratic Party and the current Democratic Leadership.

Some one pointed out that plagiarism script coding apps are now really easy to make but nobody is buying them. Its kind of like the shop selling endless mass 3d printed articulated dragons that nobody is buying. #AI
The fact that this feature ever saw the light of day is unequivocal proof that the people endlessly cramming AI into everything aren’t spending even 1 second asking themselves if what they’re doing is a good idea.
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · last wk.New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
Sketches from the bar. Working on remembering my traditional media techniques
My 20 something coworker does not know who fog horn leg horn is or what zipatone is. I feel old.
Thanks to @theposearchives.bsky.social for the pose practice. This time it's a slightly portly pretty boy doing the 2nd set, the hands on knees pose. The fuzzy shading is better this time. bsky.app/profile/thep...

Decadence in our era comes in technologically mediated forms, emptied of desire and obsessed with self-optimisation

Thanks to @theposearchives.bsky.social for the pose practice. I normally illustrate pretty boys so I wanted to see how I did with a more mature face, with mixed results. Again with the airbrushed shading instead of cell shading. There are parts I like, most not so much.
Using #AI cost the company money. "It's actually really disappointing that [The small trash company] is using AI. I'm outside of Alton so I can pick my service and I absolutely wanted to go with a local owned LGBTQ+ business, but not at the expense of supporting AI Data Centers"
I was listening to youtubers tell about rides they used to have at Epcot center in Disneyworld. Is there a heaven for destroyed amusement park rides and abandoned dead malls?
Hoping that horizontal pieces still have a chance to be seen 🌿
Capitalism is an inversion of all that is natural. Weak is strong, stupid is smart, competence is punished, and failure is rewarded. All the skills you've honed are worthless compared to the middle manager who couldn't describe his actual utility if you held him at gunpoint.
Thanks to @theposearchives.bsky.social for the pose practice. Fun pose but I didn't get the anatomy quite right. Foreshorting is tough. No idea what his hands are doing behind his head and something is off where his belly goes into his shorts. bsky.app/profile/thep...

“I don't get political” translates to “This isn't hurting me yet and I don't care that it's hurting you.”
*Undead mimics, that prefer to look like coffins and urns. *Vampires who sleep in coffins made of undead mimics, so their resting place can defend itself and even move around. *Liches who make their phylacteries out of undead mimics. *Mummies wrapped in undead mimic bandages.
I just had a loud argument with my 20 something son, who won't vote at all, because no candidate or party perfectly aligns with his values.
The Mississippi locks are so much bigger and so much more boring than the lake union Ballard locks
Thinking about lost tech, remember viewfoils and overhead projectors?
Yeah, turn this off ASAP. Also important to note – each image they 'describe' uses an 'AI credit' from your plan, and if you run out of credits? They'll charge you for the extra ones they used without even asking you if you wanted them.
