Remember to pop your filter bubble every so often. If you think you're not in one, you're trapped in one and in for a rude awakening.

With the green chiles reaching seasonal maturity, the cheeseburger herds begin their annual grazing migration down the New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail to become green chile cheeseburgers.

(The story is fiction unless you are what you eat, but the trail, the cheeseburgers, the green chile, and even are real.)

AI 

LBs: If the thing you lead or steward absolutely depends on community contributions in order to be useful, then the quickest, simplest, and easiest way to destroy your community's trust in your stewardship is to insult your community's worth with AI slop.

Disgusting. Pausing my volunteer tablet driver contributions and any future Linux-related work until The Linux Foundation grows a bit of ethics. If they don’t change, I’ll look elsewhere.

Haley's Head Mechanic

I went through every previous drawing I've done of Viola that I could find, and there was only ONE where her eyes were colored in. And she had green eyes.

Haley's Head Mechanic

Viola trying to be normal after having been the figure-head of a violent labor uprising and transitioning before the word "transgender" was invented.

I tried to put some "egad" into this drawing. She gets her estrogen from an olde timey snake oil salesman (it does work tho). She's enjoying an egg creme. This malt shop is popular because they got one of them new fangled radio sets to get the latest news and music over the airwaves.

Inspired by @mavica_again I made some classic anti-AI HTML buttons myself. Feel free to use them, no attribution required 😊

Unfurling and flattening ballot papers three feet long, and scanning for an X in one of 32 boxes, all next to candidates whose names and parties all to a one read like joke and novelty names.

The joke who triggered it is expected to win, but there's either hope for the bin or hope in the bin.

Also, in case anyone's wondering how to do this in Krita:

  1. Image > Convert image color space, select "CMYK"
  2. Image > Separate image
  3. Group all the split layers, and then move some of them a little bit to make the cool offset printing effect
  4. Add a filter layer to the group, select "halftone" (under "artistic"), set mode to "independent channels", and then proceed to fuss with the options for like an hour

I got into a super deep rabbit hole on halftone printing techniques and tried it out with this image, and I think it looks COOL AS HELL
