Microsoft banned the word 'Microslop' in its Copilot Discord server, then began restricting access after users started posting 'Microsl0p' and other funnies. Microsoft CEO and AI chief wants you to stop using words like SLOP and Microslop because it upsets them a lot. Lmao. https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/microsoft-banned-the-word-microslop-in-its-copilot-discord-server-then-began-restricting-access-after-users-started-posting-microsl0p-and-other-funnies/ Maybe you shouldn't force Copilot AI on everyone and steal their data to train your shitty AI and then every day tell the world how they are scared as AI is going to replace 80% of jobs?

A day as good as any other to bring back this excellent design by danadrewdles (on redbubble and instagram if you want to find her).

A warning for Adobe #InDesign users. I recently updated my copy, and after preparing a document, the recipient of that document sent me the alt text that popped up on one of their figures. Apparently, by default, InDesign uses AI to generate (often hilariously wrong) alt text for images.

If a Klein bottle could wear pants, would it be like this or like this?

Just so disabled people in the UK know, if Reform UK get in, they would repeal the Equality Act, describing it as divisive and a political fashion statement. If you aren't interested in politics, it's worth bearing in mind that politics is interested in you - the immigrant carers that help you, your benefits, your access to work, your right to live free from discrimination, companies' obligations for accessibility, Uber's obligation to take guide dogs.

Brimstone and gloss: a devil-lady about to hit the town.
An experiment: I've been wanting to improve how I draw glossy/shiny materials, so the focus here is on the dress.
Honestly I think my artstyle favours matte materials and flat colours; too much highlighting and texturing can wreck a perfectly good piece of line-art. But I can't improve if I never try new techniques.
So a question: does it look good?

“What do you have to hide?“
Everything.
Full stop. Period.
Every. Thing.
What I had for breakfast is my choice to put out in the world.
Who I love, who my friends are, what we talk about, the books I read, the websites I visit, my favourite animal, my choice of shoelaces.
It. Does. Not. Matter. How. “Big”. Or “Small”.
Every. Thing.
It’s all up to me to decide who I want to share anything with.

joanne rowling info overview
ok so:
• jk rowling invited epstein to a children's play in 2018, a decade after he was already a known sex criminal
• she is lying about not doing it, but the emails to JE (besides the invitation itself) are written in her cadence with her signature
• this is the first time she has ever posted about epstein and has not threatened to sue anyone over this, despite suing for much less on a whim
• rowling's anti-trans prop started a month after this incident in 2018, starting with liking a transphobic tweet that was chalked up by her PR team as a "middle aged moment" . this campaign largely focused on the idea that children are being groomed through transness, while the epstein cabal was doing terrifying John money-esque experiments to kids
• epstein basically begged to meet her while she seems to claim this didn't happen
• emails with her publicist Peggy siegel describe him as a close personal friend [of siegel] while JE being accidentally discluded from an event ruined all of their [PS and JKR] nights
• JKR rallied online in support of Johnny depp
• JKR sent gifts to Marilyn Manson
• after her reveal in the files, the marine logs of her superyacht were wiped from marinetraffic, with people mentioning her docking at St Barts
- note: she did buy this yacht "samsara" in 2023, and people are treating it otherwise, although a decades worth of logs have in fact been wiped . it was previously owned by billionaire Brett Blundy . possible dead lead but I'd be elated to be proved otherwise
• graham lineham's twitter has gone private
• terf heads suddenly defending jeffery epstein en masse

JK Rowling / Bill Gates / Jeffrey Epstein / gross shitpost
Maybe she's in the Epstein files about Bill Gate's hog warts
Things that show you're getting old.
Saved up and got a new PC case that's much bigger, so would better fit my 3070 and still have tons of air flow.
Took around 2.5 hours and was so exhausting that I'm still shattered 4 hours later.
Hopefully sleeping will help.
But at least now I have a quieter system with plenty of room. Just wish there wasn't all those stupid LEDs on the fans.

Is this a good idea for a sticker?
I'd want to clean up the design if I were getting it printed, for sure
