If you don't do politics, politics will definitely do you! Stay woke.

In case anyone doesn't know why #artists are up in arms about A.I. art...
I put forth NO effort, just typed up a concept and I got these...
#AIArt

Many people and Companies will stop hiring artists if they can buy a cheap computer program to do work of this quality. On the whole, it's going to stunt the whole of Human Society if this happens.

Please, continue hiring HUMANS to do all of your commercial art.

Personal use, I think AI art is fine, though. 🤔

If you can read this, thank you for being here.

Yes, Robert. Good Robert.

You have said something that gives someone hope. You have done something that makes someone smile, even years later. You are remembered. You have warmed someone's heart.

I like this

Someone just asked me why I’m wearing a mask, as I was passing through the restaurant on the way to the restroom.

As I immediately started looking around the floor near them, they then asked what I was looking for.

“Oh,” I replied, “I was looking for where it’s any of your f*cking business.”

This is a honey bee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.

It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from weed killer spread on what we see as weeds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for weeds. Weeds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June.

reading yet another post online on how women & girls should just 'be kinder' to incels so they break free of their misogyny.

women & girls are not rehabilitation centers for men to correct fucked up views of women & sex.

these men want to kill & rape us. being 'kinder' to them is like sending lambs to the slaughter. stop fucking asking us to put aside our trauma, fear, & self preservation to solve the fucked up men in the world.

& stop laying the blame for what they become at our feet. 😡

Business Advice for Writers: Business is not about never making mistakes. Every writer makes mistakes. A successful writer creates strategies to ensure the same mistake is never made twice. #WritingCommunity #writers #cosowriters

A few points on the fascist overtaking of Ottawa County MI:
-Yes, that is Christian Nationalism. No, those aren't the good guys.
-The moment you try to force me to believe what you believe in act how you act, you become a fascist.
-No human being can "kick God in the teeth".
-Glad someone said this is more than politics because it is. This is something....way, way worse.

I'm in the wrong business.

Joel Osteen made $54,000,000 in cash last year.

The SEC just charged the Mormon Church and its investment management company for failing to disclose $32 BILLION in assets hidden in shell corps.

Churches have become hugely profitable corporations. And should be taxed accordingly

And with that writing session, “Guardian of the Night” is finished! 🎉 >.97k words, a little bit more intense than I expected, but I’m happy with how it turned out.
Rest? Nah!
“We Can Be Heroes ...?” will be started later today. A very different kind of fantasy story. 😉

#AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Telling victims of abuse how to react towards their abuser isn't your place.

Use this energy for the abusers. Ask them why they think abusing someone is ok. And hold them accountable.

The victims are already suffering and don't need any help from you to make their lives worse.

"The Preamble"
Schoolhouse Rock

This is how most Gen-Xers learned the Preamble to the Constitution. At a 4th of July soiree in 2016, a bluegrass band started playing the tune, and about 150-ish of my contemporaries sang this song from memory. We laughed and laughed and then talked about the old Saturday morning cartoons from about 1974 to about 1982.
