recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.
It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
Cute Hobie HC:
Hobie can't actually curse.
When he does, a black censor bar appears over his mouth, and the word is instead replaced with a random sound.
These sounds can range from the original censor beep, a sour note on a guitar, microphone/amp feedback, dog barks, meows, and a couple of other sounds.
Often these sounds are more jarring and ear catching than the word would've been, making the curse behind it even more noticable.
Like a punk making fun of the censorship placed on music and curses by organizations like the FCC (that controls the 'explicit content' label)
Hobie cursing up a storm but it's just a random vague sounds to cover up his casual vulgar-ness
Isn't that fun I think that's fun
His comics do actually have the swears censored, so almost canon?

This was ridiculous. And corny. And not that good of an idea. But Hobie was here now and you'd be here soon so there isn't much he can do to back out. He checks the lock on his bike for the third time in five minutes. Sitting on the curb would be more comfortable than leaning against the bike rack, he decides.
Awkward Hobie AND a mention of his spider band from the comics?! Take my heart already it's yours
We are a family exhausted by displacement and life in a tent. We are tired of constant displacement, and the tent is no longer a solution—it does not protect us from the cold or the harshness of life , especially with children suffering every night.🙏🙏
While browsing the internet, I came across an advertisement from a Gazan offering to build mobile homes (caravans). According to my conversation with him, a unit measuring 18 square meters (6 x 3 meters) costs $7,500 to build. It includes an unfurnished bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom, all ready for use. However, $7,500 is an impossible amount for us under these difficult circumstances.
We urgently need a caravan as a temporary shelter until reconstruction begins and we are able to rebuild our home, God willing.
This post will remain pinned until we are able to purchase the caravan and provide safe shelter for my children from the cold.
I hope you will watch this video and you will see for yourself the situation we have reached.

💔💔🍉They drowned in the tents.
Children dying from the cold, mothers screaming in pain and anguish, men praying to their Lord against injustice, the elderly groaning, the sick praying to their Lord to ease their pain and cold—all this in the tents.
Your donation and participation are very important; my family survived death due to the rain, floods, and cold.

Could this holiday be my mother’s lifeline? While the world laughs and welcomes a new year with hope, I sit holding my mother’s hand, afraid her chance for treatment will slip away.
She is only asking for the right to live. Travel is her only hope, and every passing minute weighs heavily on our hearts. I beg you—please don’t leave us alone. Write about my mother, share her story, because it may reach a heart that can save her.

My name is Nazmi, I am 36 years old, I live in Gaza and I am the head of a family of six, including four children. I work as a men's hairdresser. My shop was destroyed in this devastating war, and I am now struggling greatly due to the poor quality and high prices of the tools. I need your help to improve my business and increase my income.
I need your help to support my project so I can achieve my dreams and the dreams of my children.
Please, I desperately need your donations. Donations have stopped completely, and I need your support, no matter how small. If you can't donate, talk about me and share my message. Please 😭🙏 I only need 25 euros to buy 1 kg of flour to feed my children. I'm not asking for more. Please, don't ignore this and try to contribute - I really need you right now. ✅️My account has been verified by @gazavetters, my number on the list is (#380) ✅️
Ahmed’s ( @ahmad-ziyad ) mother is extremely sick and needs to be evacuated out of Gaza. Now that the border is open Ahmed has the chance for evacuation.
But he needs enough money to pay the toll ($7000 per person!). The amount is impossible to raise on his own. He needs us to help.
please, do what you can. Ahmed’s mother’s life depends on every donation your heart chooses to send.
I am asking with a heart full of fear: please help us before the doors close. Any donation, any share, any voice could be the reason my mother lives.
Please… don’t let her be forgotten

yes, the world celebrates Christmas as their taxes fund the destruction of Jesus's homeland.
Christianity has deep roots in Palestine – Jesus himself was Palestinian. how can anyone celebrate as his people are dying ? dying without the most basic dignity. buried beneath the rubble. dogs chewing at their bodies.
In Palestine, it wasn't just the holidays that were canceled…the sense of security was canceled, sleep was canceled, and the feeling that tomorrow might be better was canceled. In the land where peace was born, we now live amidst destruction, counting the days not by holidays, but by the number of nights we have survived. Homes have been demolished, streets reduced to rubble, and souls worn down by fear, hunger, and cold.
