Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future. www.wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/

As a kid, I always wanted to help in the kitchen with my toy baking oven. I once made cornbread muffins & it took me all day to bake 12. I wasn’t called up for duty often with this slow output.😅 But wow… an air fryer really fulfills this little kid desire. Oh the oven is full? Let’s air fry it!!!

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforArt Street Art, my favourite mural on the Glasgow mural trail. Unfortunately, it is on wooden hoarding and last time I was there it was no longer really visible due to vandalism, the hoarding deteriorating and posters. Don't know if it has been fixed. #travel #art #cats

Artist Hitomi Terasawa drew a meticulous cross-sectioned rendering of Hong Kong's infamous Kowloon Walled City before it was razed in 1994. Now we have rare scans revealing the inner workings of the labyrinth-like metropolis. www.thisiscolossal.com/2024/07/kowl...

Day 1572 #ArtKicksCovid19 “The Burning of the Houses of Parliament” (1835) Joseph Mallord William Turner. Tate. Today is election day over in the UK so I thought this artwork was rather appropriate. Turner witnessed the fire which destroyed the Houses of Commons and Lords on 16-17 October 1834.

Feeling very low energy today so I’m playing around with mood cards on Milanote! I’ve heard this app in a few artist vids but have yet to try it. Pretty nice. It’s like Miro / Pinterest but a surprising dash of Obsidian to it.

I know some in the accessibility field like to shy away from politics and legal matters but this ruling will have serious and maybe even devastating implications for the work we do.

BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court just undid decades of regulatory law, making it far more difficult for federal agencies to issue rules and regulations that carry out broad mandates enacted by Congress.

Supreme Court whacks the so-called 'administrative state'www.npr.org The decision overturned Chevron v. The Natural Resources Defense Council, a 1984 decision that was not particularly controversial when it was announced 40 years ago.

I'm so excited, I found an app that uses the Māori sky map and I found Matariki! This way I can watch it rise even if it's cloudy (the app is Stellarium, free version). Mānawatia a Matariki — Happy Māori New Year! About: natlib.govt.nz/blog/posts/m...

I think programmers can be like this as well. 😂

Artists are like “I take a break from drawing” and then just draw something that isn’t their project

The watercolor in my banner: just a fun little thing. Fantasy art to go to a fantasy convention that I couldn't physically attend because my longcovid is terrible. The reflection in her cup is a different forest than the one in front of her. Because of magic, or cuz I wanted to be elsewhere? YES!
