"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

After personally reading 6,000 pages of romantasy fiction, Judge Colleen McMahon called this copyright suit over the bestselling Crave series "open and shut.” The "shut" part still took four years, three judges, and $3.4M in fees. Full story: copyrightlately.com/crave-copyri...

here's another throwback from 2016 a private poster commission inspired by Moby Dick honestly still really love this one, both the concept and execution i worked on pre-inked scratchboard for this one (so fully black) instead of the usual white claybord that i ink myself 30x40cm

a black and white scratchboard illustration inspired by Mody Dick. It depicts a giant white whale about to collide with a whaling ship. The scene is viewed from a bird's eye view, high above the scene. Seagulls are seen orbiting around the scene. The ship and the whale create waves in the water that reinforce the tension between them.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

I was talking to my friend about how one of my coworkers told me they lived across the street from a guy who regularly gets the cops on called cuz they liked to wave a machete around, and my friend was like “oh I know about the Machete Man.” We all live in different parts of LA! THEE MACHETE MAN?
