I just wanted to say that sometimes the word you’re looking for is just ✨lying✨. You’re allowed to be upset that someone just plain old lied to you. You don’t have to call it gaslighting or manipulation or whatever the fuck, just call it lying and that’s enough. It was a ✨lie✨. Not everyone is an evil genius playing mind games, sometimes they’re an asshole lying to you.

At the risk of sounding stupid, I just found out how long the stone age lasted. In my head it’s about as long as other historical time periods, a couple thousand years before ancient egypt, and conceptually looks like a bad car insurance commercial. Nope! Dead wrong! The stone age lasted for 3.4 MILLION YEARS.

Okay wow i would not have guessed millions. Maybe in like the tens of thousands? But definitely would have way undershot.

I told my wife and they said “Yeah, modernity is a recent and strange invention”

Oh yes! Hello I am wife. And these are the oldowan tools:

The first image is my favorite, the iconic oldowan hand axe, but you’ll note there’s a wide range of other tools crafted for everything from crushing nuts and stones, to awls and engraving devices. There is some evidence, albeit hotly debated, that these tools MIGHT have been used in ancient burials. Maybe. This is up for debate because these tools are THREE MILLION YEARS OLD. They pre date homo sapiens and homo erectus. They pre date the ice age. Hell, they pre date the fucking ice caps. We don’t think humans were burying their dead as we understand it today, but maybe?? These were made by homo habilis, or the “handyman”, so named for their invention of tools.

It makes me feel very small to look at these, like looking up at a starry sky.

now get ready for the Screaming 20s - coming to a decade near you in 2020

is it too early or can we start screaming now

in retrospect perhaps we should have started sooner

I think the screaming is only going to increase as each year passes. And probably won’t stop for many years to come.

Did anything bad happen in the 1930s that could herald things to come in 2030s?

Ok, I googled in both Finnish and English….

Nah, I’m sure 1939 was a good year around here

Especially the winter. We even created a new cocktail.

rip to you guys but i love assembling ikea furniture its so fun its like legos

people complain about how confusing assembling ikea furniture is and meanwhile i rise above their understanding and exist beyond their pitiful mortal comprehension as i spend a wonderful day assembling two twin beds with nothing but two hex keys, hope, and a whole lot of screws. 10/10 experience would do again

yesterday I had the thought “visual novel for normal people” (?) and halfway through making this image (which I thought would be really funny) I realized it was completely meaningless

wild-aspen:

Already-existing laws that have been around for decades state the photo or video of a food product must contain the actual food itself. Everything else AROUND the food can be fake, but you must use the real food in the ad. You can alter the food in certain ways to enhance its appearance, but if you’re selling a hamburger, the burger itself must be the actual burger your restaurant sells.

You can use glue instead of milk if you’re selling cereal, but you can’t use glue instead of milk if you’re selling milk. You can’t falsely represent how chunky a soup is by adding extra chunks, but you can put it in a shallow bowl to show off the chunks it normally has. You can spray a burger with glycerin to make it shinier. There’s a lot you can do…as long as the actual food product is in the image.

This means ads of food for sale cannot legally be completely AI generated. I don’t know if this rule applies to other kinds of products, but it’s absolutely a rule for food.

So if you do see ads for food and the product itself in the ad is AI generated, I think you have legal recourse to report it to the FTC and the BBB as false advertisement.

It’s Fossil Friday!

Here are some zooms into my “Deep Blue Buffet” painting (Part 1), commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of species from the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay: a dead sauropod, “The Sea Rex” (probably Pliosaurus), Hybodus, Hypsocormus, Metriorhynchus, Aspidorhynchus, and lots of Allothrissops.
