I've gone. Not one for goodbyes, I thought it best to slip out quietly. Love to you all, Giles.

Rest in peace, Anthony Stewart Head (1954 – 2026)

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

Remaining time: 4 days 1 hour

[odyver]

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 :(

Remaining time: 4 days 2 hours

[odyver]

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

Remaining time: 4 days 2 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

[rimonoroni2]

this is getting really popular so i’d like to add the important caveat that your criticism of a work is no more unassailable than the work itself. just as one is entitled to be critical of something someone else is entitled to disagree with that criticism. i add this because some of you pretend to give a fuck about thoughtful analysis and then when someone points out flaws in your argument you declare that all criticisms are valid. this is untrue. the status of a hater is no more sacred than that of a liker. get off your high horse and engage in the thoughtful discussion you pretend to believe in or perish by my blade

After watching some of DS9 I've come to the conclusion that Tuvok and Odo would in fact not get along well. Tuvok would be like why don't you kick that criminal out of the promenade and also why aren't you turning your reports in on time and also here's twenty uniform violations I counted among your security team in the time I've been here - this is unacceptable. And Odo would go to Sisko like "If you want me to quit just say so, I can't work with your Starfleet goons breathing down my neck about these insipid 'rules' and 'regulations'!" and Sisko would have to bring Tuvok into his office and say this is HIS station and if Starfleet doesn't like the way he runs it they can talk to him DIRECTLY instead of sending someone down to harangue his chief of security and Tuvok raises an eyebrow and says he's sure they'll keep that in mind. Then he leaves with ominous music but doesn't appear again. By the end of the episode it's revealed by Garak or whomever that he wasn't even there to check up on Sisko or the station, he was doing some unrelated Starfleet intelligence business.

people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard

[lyricwritesprose]

There is sports discourse. There is yarn discourse. There is food discourse. There is academic discourse (dear sweet god is there academic discourse). If there are people out there collecting brass buttons specifically from 1921, they are going to have discourse about which buttons are trash and whether Person A cheated person B. To be human is to engage in pointless wankery sometimes.

Been thinking a lot about how traits pass between different dragons breeds, and did a quick sketch of Ning and her parents. More musings under the cut!

While I know Temeraire and Ning are described as black, but I always imagine them as off-black. The former is a blue tone, while the latter is a red tone, after her mother. I also gave Ning the same prong horns as her dad, but curling inwards to mimic Iskierka's.

For a quick sketch, this turned out really well! I don't see a lot of art of Ning (she's only in part of one book, after all). Experimenting with iridescence was fun.

Thanks for reading!

listen. just trust me. put butter on one side of a piece of bread. put cream cheese on the other side. lay the buttered side on a hot pan. add frozen strawberry slices to the cream cheese.

take a second slice of bread. add butter to one side. nutella to the other. add nutella side to the strawberries. flip to your preferred grilled perfection.

serve. glass of milk optional.

trust me.

[dovesndecay]

y'know I'm glad I post things like this because I thought I had just come up with this last night, made it again today, came here to post, felt a vague sense of deja vu, searched my own blog, and here we are. what is a long term memory

[dovesndecay]

Oh! This reappeared in my notes with good timing; my experiments with this recently have taught me new things, so I will also add:

1) putting a lid over the pan with intermittent flipping while it grills will help steam the strawberries and make a more consistent temperature inside the sandwich!

2) a light dusting of cinnamon sugar on the buttered bread really elevates it!

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system
