My jig holder

I think I’m gonna stop tipping at these stupid fucking tablets and handhelds. There is a liquor store in the next neighborhood over that asks for tips now - LAST STRAW

Jig keeper. Just what I needed.

Today was the busiest most non chill Christmas in a long time. Too much driving and visitings. Good solid vibes though. I been in a shit fuck depression for months. Pushed all through that and somehow managed to not get in a yearly Christmas fight with my old lady. Success all around but I had one too many beers/shots to do it and now I’m typing phone keyboard with one eye open . Little broth I ain’t seen in about 3 4 years proposes to his high school sweetheart heart that was pretty sweet but I really wanted to tell the lil nigga naw don’t do it brehlito lololol.

I stopped tipping at those things a couple of months ago. The first time you stare those fools in the eye and hit 'no thanks' you get this rush of endorphins through your whole body. As for me, I'm gonna work as little as possible and use my free time in my garden, reading books and helping anyone who needs a hand.

Breakfast for dinner today, Onion board, which is like focaccia with onions is homemade as is the cream cheese. Was going to be for brunch but schedule was revised.

@mortongo for it. That’s the version I have on dvd so I don’t know what the extra content is. Maybe the scene with Charlize Theron tits is only in director cut?

@fat ralphyits just like it sounds, you can also use it to smoke infuse things that aren’t booze like a charcuterie tray etc

tracks.mp4 Not mine, but a winter classic

Parking lot pimpin with this fool while my chick runs in the store for some last minute grocery items. We stay mobile ooontzin…..

1. Going to get the necessary checks to volunteer at Foodbank SA (would only take about 24hrs all up) 2. review my addiction to fucking instagram and streaming services 3. rebuild my relationship with my kids a bit. (Life at home is fucking exhausting with all the constant fighting) 4. try to catch one tag per day 5. if there's time left over a few more fucking pieces. ( ideally a character on each one to spice up my albums) In short pretty much the same as last time a thread like this came up which is dismaying.

Got a thumper.

That smoker looks sexy

^^ Yup, pretty common ones. During December, the whole month Catholics celebrate many events, and if you attend them, they will give you a bag with goodies for showing up. Tradition is you have to pray and sing to get a bag and usually the hardcore Catholics have the best bags, but you will be monitored by them lol I lip synced one of the bags.

Beoh mtnw

The ice cream truck that came to our apartments when I was little used to sell them for like 10¢ ea. used to love those fuckers

It's basicly crack the first time you try it and very messy, don't snort it. . . @KILZ FILLZ

Sitting in front of the fire with the wife and new puppy. This year ate shit and I'm trying to enjoy these long weekends and start 2023 fresh.

This. Forever. About everything.

I see this being used as a tool to help generate concepts to build from, that said I think that it will also destroy anyone creating in the midtier space. for instance, any artist that makes paintings/photos that go in hotels/private homes will probably be edged out of work if they havent already. You can see the effects of AI in news/journalism. I suspect they are responsible for most clickbait new stories that we are fed. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this but there have been countless times where I have clicked a news article from a big news corp only to find that the article has absolutely nothing to do with the headline. I'm fairly certain AI has been getting used in the youtube space alot too for reviewing products/pushing affiliate links. The scripts, Vo, etc are all generated with ai and fill with product shots. I'm considering using ai to rework my resume/website copy and coverletters for the next time I switch jobs. I would really like to think this is how people felt when the camera came along but its so much more than that. I know that there will be artist that try to build things that confuse AI but I'm wondering if the next step will be not allowing their work to be photographed at all in order to ensure their exculsitivity. I remember seeing a fashion documentary that talked about how with clothing, designers could copyright a design but after it gets made into a piece of clothing, it was fair game to rip it off. There was a shoe designer that started making shoes that were cost prohibitive to be duplicated cheaply. I think he made really thin heels for womens shoes out of a really expensive/strong metal. I remember asking myself if he was really designing for design or just designing to not be copied at that point. In someways I understand what hes working against but also I think about the limits hes now placed on himself. @MercerI 100% agree with you on the moms credit card. at a certain point, keeping it real just becomes stupid when theres a much better product to use that yields better results with less effort. heres more random, low effort MidJourney. I've got an unlimited account for a bit, if anyone wants to throw out some prompts, I'm happy to share the results but fair warning, it does not allow for certain terms (NSFW,gore,etc)

Complex subject. There are some rare artists that develop signature illustration styles that take years to come up with. The styles are intentionally hard to imitate. AI can be used to break down every pen & brush stroke to produce similar illustrations that are identical in style. This essentially disincentivizes human advancements in art. I think this is what most people are upset about. Personally, I'm not sure if this hate is valid or invalid yet. I mean if your work is great, but nobody knows your name, and they would prefer to buy an AI piece over your artwork I think you must have slacked on creating a compelling public persona and accumulating fame. I know tons of people with skills 100x better than respected writers, but we all feel personally aren't shit, when they're compared to so called "talentless" bombers that actually do more than legals and dead spots. I've always been the type to diss "purists" artists that think the tools some artists use are so good, that their art doesn't count. Think someone who likes rock, and hates rap, so they say the beats are invalid because there's not a person playing the drums. That's bullshit. Same thing for people who think an artists needs to grind their own pigments, and assemble their own brush, and stretch all their own canvases, etc. It's bullshit. I'm so far gone of this shit I appreciate visual, and musical art created entirely digitally sometimes way more than organically produced shit. Being upset someone has a better tools is usually just envy based. I can't lie though, I feel this way myself seeing kids that don't know how to shoplift paint a piece way better than my garbage pieces in the 90's with low pressure cans and youtube tutorials on their phones. Fact is, if I had mom's credit card and low pressure artsy paints I would have used them too. If I had been better at doing pieces maybe I wouldn't be jealous now. Emotions are not a measure of validity.

washed down with a diet coke.

Finished the Richard K Morgan Takeshi Kovacs trilogy up. Really good noir detective meets cyberpunk stuff. Now reading:

I don't know why I choose to read stuff like this. It really just makes me mad.

wow Dennis Bodart is great!

I met Dee Snider once for a minute and had to ask him about this back cover. He said other writers had beef with the crew who did it (Vulcan, Tee Bee, Cmor, Boo85, Bmesh). The wall was painted one day and the band had to get back there fast the next morning to pose for the pic before it got dissed.
