That face! I just wanna smooooosh it!

I stopped my Thursday Morning Movies because they made making fun stuff into a chore.

@dogwelder it's a beautiful thing to just leave something that is only beautiful to others

@dogwelder I'm gonna miss you doing your chores 😑 but I get it

Also I had been unsubscribed from your channel! I've noticed this happening over time to a few channels I foillowed, I wonder if this is a youtube thing where they uinsubscribe you?

google says it happens to a lot of people (youtube unsubscribing them... well that sucks)

@Argie I'll still post stuff when the mood strikes, but I'm not going to force it. Pushing too hard on the things I love drives me away from them (see also: photography).

I can smell this photo. And I love that you get to live it.

Aw nice! 🪴🌱😊

I am jealous. I need to add 'work at greenhouse' to my list of careers to consider once AI kills this one...

Oh that's splendid

How lovely for you! Plants give life.

congrats, that sounds like an a++ change. enjoy.

i'm at that precipice now, trying to figure out how to get out of this industry madhouse before i lose it totally.

@nikkuneko madhouse to the hothouse... the (garden) path is clear
good luck with it all. I did the same many years back from chef to archaeologist. A bunch of pain with that journey but well worth it in the end

Our son (working on his 3rd graduate degree and supporting himself with loans) likes to work in the greenhouse at school when he comes home to visit. It pays a lot less than gigging, but he likes the work.

HOORAY

Congratulations!!
Hell of a leap. Nice jumping!

It's not Fat Bear Week without Stephen Colbear

I just love Tom Gauld!

@bezt that'll teach me not to click the story links!

Aww. A wasknijper.

My kid used to refer to a clothespin as a “clothes pinch” and honestly that makes more sense

I’m available.

When you’re back on the market

The machines and processes of the industrial revolution were powered by the forests and swamps of the Carboniferous period, which left deposits of coal for later exploitation. LLMs are powered by deposits of human ingenuity and ordered knowledge, and presently run in a way that inhibits and contaminates the renewal of those resources.

The worthless business assets must be converted into valuable capital for discretionary bonuses as quickly as possible.

The MBA was the worst thing to happen to business.

@urlnotfound
As someone who earned an mba, I agree. By the end of the program I hated my peers, my profs, and the discipline itself.

I mean... generally agree but I always have to show up to argue that there were libraries before the internet. WE built the library, the internet improved upon it by leaps and bounds, and then someone else started charging admission to that last part (the library is still free) </pedant>

Last month, I found out all of my journalistic work has been sold to an 'ethical' AI-company, without my permission and without paying me (I own the copyright, but the newspaper I used to work for has a distribution-license, that they chose to interpret in the wildest manner). Every day, more and more bots arrive at my website, hogging the lane to suck out all of its content. I put a lot of stuff on there, background info for students who want to learn more, goodies for clients. And just fun stuff I like to make and share, which often turns into nice connections with new people.

But more and more I feel that I am working for free for people that believe the opposite of what I want to be and stand for. I am seriously considering stripping my website, keeping a bare minimum to prove that I exist and work. I just wrote an article where I propose, only half-joking, to quit the internet and do all of my research in libraries, archives, and by talking to people in physical places. Not joking at all now when I say: can we build a parallel internet? I am ready to pack my bags and go.

Discount?

McDeath Punch!

GG Allin makes good on his promise?

¿Por que no los dos?

They're the same brick.

Ho! Ha-ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust!

In Hungary even the goats are metal 🤘

As someone who grew up with a flock of sheep on his farm, I absolutely would not want to have given them each a pair of weapons.

Where did you get this photo of me?
I am not offended. I am at peace with my pastry addiction.

“Oh cool, you’re in a band? What do you play?”

“Staff of Fireball”

The 50's were much more interesting than the hippie-generated received idea about them would lead you to believe.

ooh, with their fancy new instruments!

Nice that Godin (a Quebec company) made Khn's new guitar

@scruss brilliant move by them to do this. Interesting to see how well worn it is already after a few months

Some have pointed out that the two identical framed wall hangings suggest the image is AI generated.

Satire is getting lazy these days

Time enough at last.

Not saying you shouldn’t embrace catharsis, but no one will ever read this text. It’ll just make your number have a tick next to it to the effect of “active number”.

@robotmachine True. I usually delete and move on, but my frustration gets the better of me sometimes.

@devilsrancher I applied for a home loan in August of last year and I still get at least one voicemail from a new number every single day about the line of credit I asked about (I did not). So trust me when I say I get it completely.
