@stevenrmsmith Weird, weird ask I know- I saw this published in a DC comics Star Trek issue, realized it about fit you being the right age to write in, and just had to ask- is this you with this very hot Star Trek take? And if so, how much have you developed?
Little rant about my experience as an artist and how I see AI bros' behavior
When I was a kid, I was called a gifted kid because I could draw, and it fascinated both classmates and Adults. I'm sure a lot of fellow artists had a similar experience, since it was quite rare to see irl especially before socials became so widespread. Some were envious, some simply curious, and some trying to befriend me to get free art even then.
Honestly I didn't mind the ego boost, but I noticed a repeated pattern of "I wish I could do that!" "you're so lucky you can draw" "you're so talented, unlike me", dismissing their own skills or insisting they couldn't do anything. Adults said something fun wasnt a real job, that I should think of getting a job like theirs instead.
Now in the era of AI 'art', those same persons who used to envy artists have an easy access to an illusion of talent and skill. They spit on the stolen work of every artist whose art has been fed into AI to flatter their fragile ego and look down on artists. They say artists will loose their jobs and get replaced, when they don't even understand why that's false or what it takes.
But the truth is they cope, they stay in the comfort of denial, saying THEY created the results AI give them. Saying prompting is a skill, because they want it to be one. They'd kill to do the same as artists, to have a passion, a talent, to captivate people and get praised for something they created with their own hands. To make money out of their passion.
But besides AI bros boosting each other's egos, no one will genuinely compliment AI 'art'. And if anyone did, upon learning it was AI they'll take it back because it has no value at all. It's stolen, empty, and made with no passion or love whatsoever (and probably a ton of mistakes up close too)
I just think it's sad because anyone can draw well. It just takes practice, but they're not even willing to try. Instead, they just hide behind insults and superior complex. Behind a false sense of achievement.
NO ARTIST will ever say "you have no skill, you suck" to someone genuinely trying to get into art. The art community is very welcoming, just pick up the pen and have fun with us!
Reporter: If you could say something to Trump, what would it be?
PA voter: You’re a worthless pile of sh*t.
Reporter: How many times did you vote for him?
PA voter: 3 times. That was my bad. Apparently I’m an idiot.

@UniPicsAtHome@Mattel@Dreamworks@DreamWorksSheRa Hey now that whatever's up with Netflix is over, any chance the rest of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power can be released either on disc (blu ray please!) or Digitally?
@SergioCollects@oceangoblin2 @FrogFroggs Generative AI empowers no one. Generative AI placates those without talent or understanding with a soulless imitation of art, plagiarized without permission or compensation, that has no real merit or point of view. The world will be a better place when it is outlawed.
Over the last year, President Trump pardoned dozens of criminals.
Combined, they were ordered to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and restitution.
Trump let them off the hook.
Nothing says cracking down on crime like letting criminals run free.
man: i wish to publish
reviewer 2: your paper is no good
man: i'll do anything to improve
reviewer 2: it's simple. you must read the work of the great scientist Pagliarini
man: *bursts into tears* but i am Pagliarini
Imagine going to court to cover up the evidence that you'd tried to overturn democracy...
while also covering up the murder of a US citizen in MN...
...while also breaking the law, every day for the last month, to cover up child rape.
Fake Christians, behold your Caligula.
Next time, read the Jesus parts.

🚨OMG: In a historically shocking moment, Donald Trump just went further than ever before - openly praising authoritarian rule.
“I’m a dictator… but sometimes you need a dictator.”
The mask all the way coming off. Anyone still pretending this is normal is lying to themselves.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth.
Ya heard it here first!!! KENAN & KEL MEET FRANKENSTEIN… coming soon!!! 👀🧟♂️
More deets on a this week’s ep of Good Sports on @PrimeVideo. Big thanks to my bro @Iamkelmitchell for jumping in to spill the news with me!!! Kenan & Kel are back!!! Let’s get it!!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
In 365 days of Trump:
- he doubled his family’s net worth
- billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer
- his 20 wealthiest political donors got ~$380 billion richer
while…
Food prices ⬆️
Utilities ⬆️
Healthcare ⬆️
Housing ⬆️
Just in case you didn’t understand the scam yet.
ICE physically attacks lawyer—stand between her and clients they're trying to detain.
"Don't push me!" lawyer yells. "Why you trying to pick them up?"
"It's none of your business," agent scolds.
"It is my business—I'm their attorney," she replies. "It's EXACTLY my business!"
Immigration attorney Alicia Via Beeslev took this video after she received a call from a client that ICE was lying about having a warrant for arrest.
She drove to the scene and was able to chase them off the apartment complex property.
She wrote, "If you don't like the F word more than you don't like people getting kidnapped, you may not want to watch this video."
The incident occurred in Portland, Oregon.
