You have no idea how many people post on reddit on these like "my dog found this, is it safe to eat??"
and part of me understands the concern of pet eating Unknown Thing, but the other part of me is like "it says rabies vaccine on it, did you read it?"
My very first tiger drawing and my latest
Your skill level is unquestionable but listen.
I love him.
me also. as well.
This is the COOLEST thing Iāve seen in AGES. You both completely made my entire week.
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Defense lawyers say their clients from the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol are excited to get a piece of Trump's "anti-weaponization" fund.
Ethics experts are calling President Donald Trumpās so-called āanti-weaponizationā fund a corrupt scheme unlike anything that has been seenĀ in American history. But to an attorney representing hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants, the $1.8 billion looks a lot like ārelief.ā
āThis is a stigma thatās been put on all these people,ā said Peter Ticktin, a Florida-based lawyer who plans to pursue claims for as many as 400 clients. āFor some, itās literally going to be a lifesaver.āĀ
Trump has been rewriting the history of the insurrection since the day it happened, and on his first day of office last year he granted clemency to nearly 1,600 supporters who were charged with crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. But the prospect of compensating participants through a new slush fund ā administered by Trumpās Justice Department, for supposed victims of āweaponization and lawfareā ā has even made some Republican allies squirm.Ā
For Ticktin, a high school classmate of the president who describes the 2020 insurrection as a leftist conspiracy, the rioters Trump pardoned after retaking the White House are exactly the people the new fund should be rewarding. His firm has been filing lawsuits against the government seeking damages for their clientsā prosecutions, and he sees the fund as a potential way to resolve those claims outside of court.
Administration officials have said little about how the payouts would work or who exactly would be eligible, but they havenāt dismissed the notion of rioters getting a piece of the action ā even if they were convicted of violently assaulting police officers. A five-person commission is expected to review claims and dole out payments of taxpayer dollars, but acting Attorney General Todd Blanche hasnāt named the commission members yet.Ā
Funny how it's stigma when it's a ton of white people being violent insurrectionists in support of a white man, but when it's a marginalized person being treated differently for what marginalizes them, it's "well, what did they expect?"
I don't have time for tumblr discourse they're calling the very hungry caterpillar degenerate art over on twitter
good art is when something looks like real life, the more real it looks the more better the art. abstracted figures give my trad children nightmares, one time they were exposed to cubism and couldn't go outside for a week
chuck tingle accidentally used an AI image on his latest cover and not only did he fix the mistake but he made me think the phrase āthe skeleton has been replaced out of an abundance of caution,ā for which i am eternally grateful

The crazy thing is, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you asked me on any given day "Would like to see a picture of some genitals?" my answer would be "š° No, that's... No, thank you. I'm okay, actually." I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who do engage with the penis side of the internet, but personally, I've spent the better part of two decades doing all I can NOT to have pictures of dick and balls or sexy bikini babe buttcheeks blasted onto my retinas constantly. And yet... to be denied the penis? To have a jumped up pile of javascript tell me, a grown adult with an air fryer and an outstanding council tax bill, that I cannot be trusted to withstand the sight of a bare nipple unless I let it scan my drivers' license? I will move heaven and earth to see that fucking nipple, friend. I will walk a thousand miles barefoot on hot coals before I give you big brother bitches my passport number. A thousand miles through the desert with five VPNs just to press my face up against the glass and see the last uncensored picture of two My Little Pony Characters sixty-nining each other, and I don't even want! to look at it! But I will! I must! for the sake of our fucking democracy!

Shout out to the (many) times I got called an elitist gatekeeper for saying that the only real way to fully understand a work of fiction is to experience it firsthand and that summaries and reviews are not a replacement for that
Me, reading the first 80% of the post: What do you mean, "experience it firsthand"? How am I supposed to join the Hunger Games or go on the Odyssey?
Me, reading the final clause of the post: Oh, you literally meant that people have to read the book/listen to the audiobook in order to fully understand it. And people got mad. Oh dear.
To quote what a friend of mine said after she watched Jerry Maguire (1996) for the first time, having thought she knew what it was about because of its cultural ubiquity: āyou miss a lot of a movie when you donāt watch itā
Also summaries can be misleading.
Here. Don't look this up. Don't put it in the comments if you know. Read this and tell me what movie it describes:
Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.
Got a guess?
You're locked in?
You're sure?
You don't want a genre hint?
Okay. You're probably gonna feel really silly in a minute, just as a word of warning.
This is a real summary written by Rick Polito.
It was used by Turner Classic Movies in 1998 and was printed in TVGuide. If you're too young to know what that means, it was a staple in most households--if TVGuide said it, you could be pretty sure it was accurate.
Did you guess The Wizard of Oz?
Yeah, I told you it was misleading. Technically it's true, but it misses everything the movie is about.
And if that doesn't explain it for you, I'm not sure anything will.

I unfriended mom
After midnight
on Mother's Day
it wasn't planned, not really
But it was a long time coming
I have no hope that we will be in
a place where I
can send her a card and
truly mean whatever it says
What do you do when
the first blight in your life
was the one who birthed you?
Who raised you and spent most
of your life with you?
When I think of Mother's Day
I don't think of gratitude or love
I think of obligation
of "I must be a terrible mother
because I raised such selfish children"
of "my kids will be kids
until they have kids"
(she said, knowing that
I had been very vocal about
being child free
for multiple years)
I think of tricks
and traps
and guilt
and cruel party tricks
to reel in your children
only to spit them back out
once they've done
what you want
I will sleep in on Mother's Day
after all,
in the words of my in-laws,
"Happy Mother's Day to you too!
You're a cat mom after all"
and I will let her think
whatever she will think,
good or bad,
about the choices which led
to however her Mother's Day
this year is spent.
