I’m a theatre nerd who sometimes draws funny face trains
Imagine if Class 40 as a human used a bowler hat to cover up a large bald spot?
Human Duncan would be a Chain smoker…also pictures are him with Rusty, Peter Sam, and Sir Handel from an aborted Hogwarts AU
*”One moment, he was on the track, the next his driver and fireman jumped clear as he rolled over. His coach stayed on the rails and the guard braked her to a stop”* ~Culdee From Railway Series No. 19, *Mountain Engines* #RWS80thcollab #RWS80thCollab
“Slowly, but surely, the snorting engines forced the unwilling trucks up the hill. But James began losing steam. ‘I can’t do it, I can’t do it!’ He panted ‘Lae it tae me, lae it tae me!’ Shouted Douglas ~Railway Series no. 15 “The Twin Engines” #RWS80thCollab #RWS80thcollab
Took a cursed AI generated image, a sketchbook, a mechanical pencil, a gum eraser, and a mechanical eraser pen to try and turn the picture on the left into something more pleasing. #pickupapencil
Did an illustration of Thomas somewhat in the style of a Studio Ghibli film.
“Engines come and engines go, but Granpuff goes on forever!”
Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.
Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI scrapers that ignore robots.txt
Attackers explain how an anti-spam defense became an AI weapon.

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!
David Rothschild@davmicrot.bsky.social · 2y agoWhat if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

Don’t normally sketch TV series art, but when something strikes me…
Quick and dirty sketches for a potential Marthwaite layout extrapolating a bit from Irton Road on the R&ER
“To catch you on that hill, Thomas, I’d need wings like an airplane. So I had my driver pour Red Bull into my gas tank!”
Despite the wonky perspective, I love what I went for with the flashback in the thought bubble/steamcloud
Duck and Percy calmly sat on the points outside the shed refusing to let the engines in. “Oh, you want to fight?” Asked Duck “Instead of running, you’re coming closer”
“Cheer up Granpuff, we’ll find a nice railway and the. You can come and keep us in order”
“NWR no 4 ‘Gordon’ thundering across the Killercrankie Viaduct on the Highland Mainline July 1948”
Because it was a real missed opportunity we never got to retell the search for Duke in the show with Hatt and Sir Robert on explorer hijinks
