DE - Krötenwanderungschild mit Kerle-Frosch statt Kröte. Schild sagt "Kerlenwanderung"
EN - Triangular road warning sign, typically used to warn people when the toad migration is happening so they are mindful of toads crossing the road. Instead of the regular toad, there is the "Kerle-Frog," which is a German meme. The sign normally reads "Krötenwanderung", as in "toad migration," but instead reads "Kerlenwanderung," "Kerle" migration.

here are some free reaction images if you need to express your distaste for AI slop

a bunch of catfish lie dead or dying in a dried-up river bed, with one in the foreground giving a thumb's up and looking like they're suffocating. Around them is a blazing sun and the words "Drought-Approved AI Slop"

Indistinguishable mystery food items with question marks and pixels surrounded by the words "You wouldn't eat a prompt - AI menus suck!"

A robot with eyes that spell AI, a cheeky grin, and a butt farting out a flyer. Around it is the text "Don't be a fartist - hire an artist!"

I consider it a violation of my personal human rights to have to look at an ad at basically any time

Stand against the invalidation of trans rights! Protect our trans siblings!!

A cute anthro black labrador dog gives the peace sign in front of a pink toilet. The dog is wearing a collared shirt in trans pride colors. They are surrounded by the phrase "I deserve to pee!"

A frog is looking and smiling at the viewer as they lean out of their car window. The car is a compact blue car with a trans pride bumper sticker. It is surrounded with the phrase "I deserve to drive!"

An anthro black and white cat is holding a ballot and a pencil. She is wearing a pink dress with the trans pride colors at the waist. She is surrounded by the phrase "I deserve to vote!"

An anthro bear is smiling with his hands in the air. He is wearing a bandana around his neck in trans pride colors, and he is surrounded by flowers blooming around him. Around him is the phrase "I deserve to thrive!"

Decaf@decafdraws.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Coverage for Gaza has died down recently, so I wanted to remind folks that lots of people are still struggling. The Gaza Soup Kitchen opened its 14th location recently, and they are accepting donations. If you have some money to spare, please consider sending some spare funds their way.

the Bennett family of Green Creek in the style of Joe Cappa Haha, You Wolves

Three young men and their mother drawn in the flat style of Joe Cappa (Haha, You Clowns). One man is sitting at a desk facing the viewer. His mother stands behind his desk chair. On the left a young man in a grey hoodie has his arm around her and smirks at the viewer. On the right a young man stands politely, grinning at the viewer. The man sitting down has his hands clasped at his chin and looks at the viewer. All of them have blond hair and blue eyes, except for the man sitting down, whose eyes are red. Their mom did a heck of a job raising those boys.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

my holiday hot take: have a christmas gift survey. I had no idea what to get my in-laws, and they were happy to list some things they would actually use on a survey. this also saves me from making homemade gifts no one wants.

Nathan the poodle says trans rights are human rights

A crochet bandana in the colors of the trans pride flag, in stripes of light blue, pink, white, pink, and light blue. The stripes are in granny clusters surrounded by a border of the same colors, with ties in white

Here is a comic on the use of AI in education that @makinaro.com and I made for Chemical Engineering Education. Maki's art is otherworldly in this one, and I'm very pleased to have gotten this published in the journal.

a Drawn to Engineering comic for Chemical Engineering Education

Worst-Case Scenario
written by Luke Landherr
drawn by Maki Naro

Panel 1
STUDENT working on a computer. Smoke in the background.

STUDENT: … actually, if I just enter in the right prompts, I can get this AI tool to solve all this work for me!

STUDENT: And that’s before I even get into any writing assignments…

STUDENT: The professor will probably want more accurate answers, after all.

Panel 2:

PROFESSOR working on a computer. Smoke rising from fire in a green hilled background.

PROFESSOR: So there’s all these problems to write and this student work to review, but…

PROFESSOR: … actually, I could just feed this AI tool the right prompts and have it do the curriculum design and evaluations for me!

PROFESSOR: The students will probably appreciate unique problems and faster feedback, after all.

STUDENT at left, PROFESSOR at right. Circular arrows reflecting that the computers are doing all the work between them with no human involvement, surrounding a data center with smokestacks.

Panel Two:

STUDENT and PROFESSOR shaking hands with environmental consumption being revealed.

TEXTBOX: This is the worstcase scenario for AI in education.

STUDENT: Thank you for a great semester.

PROFESSOR: Thank you for a great semester.

TEXTBOX: All the learning and teaching self-contained within the AI tools, with no real human involvement.

Panel Three

Different PROFESSOR and STUDENT talking together, a back and forth to help showcase the continued learning and teaching together. Brighter colors.

TEXTBOX: Let’s be clear, there are real possibilities for AI tools in both teaching and learning. AI tools can be great at helping develop codes for complex mathematical solutions, and can also allow for an all-hours tutoring tool for additional student support. And as an educational community, we need to consider what the best potential of these tools are, for all involved parties.

TEXTBOX: But it is a potential slippery slope in rationalizing what is acceptable from all involved. And that is before we consider the devastatingly huge environmental cost in using AI, a somewhat ironic factor when we work to increase instruction in sustainability at the same time.

TEXTBOX: So let’s work together in figuring out best approaches using AI. And let’s be careful to find the best limits at the same time.

im in poland rn and one channel has a sign language interpreter in the lower corner that uhh unfortunately also gets covered by ads sometimes real #accessible, folks

A large TV shows a channel in Poland. OP does not understand Polish so cannot translate the ticker tape, but the scene shows a woman working at a food service place and scooping food from a metal tray into a plastic container. In the lower left corner is a woman superimposed onto the image who is supposed to be giving sign language interpretations of what is happening. However, she is blocked by an advertisement for what appears to be tires that appeared in her exact position. Her hands are covered and only her face is visible.

A commission of the Portland OR metro (TriMet) map as dragons 🐉

Portland, OR TriMet map with the colored metro lines replaced with dragons. They are adorned with details specific to Portland, such as the yellow line dragon having antlers from an iconic sign and a trident tail, similar to the Portlandia trident. Several dragons have horns that resemble bicycle handlebars or local bridges.

Hello friends 🏳️‍⚧️ I'm sending out stickers to anyone who donates 10€ or more to my friend's FFS GFM. If you donate, DM me the receipt + a mailing address, and I'll send you some stickies. 20€ or more and I'll also write a thank-you on a duckie postcard Gfm link: gofund.me/7ad22a198

A postcard of a duck surrounded by gold and an oval sticker lie on a dark wood table. The sticker says "No Chance for Intolerance" with a capybara holding a small trans pride flag and a gator with a torn up Nazi uniform in its jaws.

The header from my friend's gofundme that says "Mia's FFS Journey: Becoming Visible & Safe" by Mireya Nadalet. A picture of her smiling at the viewer is below the header.

my sh0p is back up w/ new prints, pins, quicksands, etc.! technically this is a big announcement, but I haven't put together a consolidated graphic (it does not please the ocd brain) so stay tuned for separate promo posts in the coming days 🥺 driftwoodwolf.storenvy.com

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button
