The original sketch of the Alien Facehugger, done in an almost comically simple style. First figure is an upright oval with a circle on the upper portion. Second figure the circle has popped off (indicated by an arrow) and a creature is launching out of the hole (indicated by another arrow).

I keep coming back to the original first draft Alien facehugger sketch. If you can start with that and end up with one of the most iconic designs in horror movie history, then there's no excuse for AI.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

It actually kicks ass how much the people who run this site hate the people who use it. Just constant seething meltdowns over having to put up with a bunch of artists, furries, and trans people instead of crypto-hustlers and AI guys making Linkedin-tier posts. I'm glad they're miserable, frankly

Private equity is a societal cancer.

I cannot overstate the degree to which if we manage to wrest back control before they blow up the world there will need to be thousands of evangelicals in jail for deradicalization and to stop further incitement

man its so weird how appeasement doesn't work. fortunately there have been no historical examples of this that could have served as a guiding light to avoid it in the present

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Do not give this anti-human, anti-worker trash a single cent or click, ever.

The '>Insert Genre< Movie' parodies that plagued the 2000's and early 2010's were the bane of my teenage movie-buff years. I can't go back.

“We thought we were living in a politically neutral slave state.”

A tale of a Doctor Who fan audience booing a person for using AI

Well done my people, well done

AI does not "assist" translators, it just makes their work harder, brings down the quality, and impacts their pay. 😭

The angle of "the Iran strikes are bad bc they didn't ask Congress for permission" reminds me of the Norm Macdonald bit about people saying "the hypocrisy" of Bill Cosby's actions was "the worst part." Macdonald:"I disagree. I think all the raping was the worst part."

Looking at my phone over lunch and getting a glimpse of the news was a mistake.

I'm now just angry and fed up.

Just thinking about how lots of people in the White House are making money off of this

Best of luck with the trains!

As it happens, I'm off to Manchester for a convention today as well.

Ah, that was a great day; hard to believe that it was two comic book reboots ago.

if it seems like affirmative action for abusers, losers, and hacks who can’t compete on merit, that’s b/c it is

The long-standing question of "how do you reinvigorate 'G.I. Joe' for modern lay audiences?" is being answered by Paramount with this prick.

Nope. He and Paramount can fuck off.

I can't help but wonder just how much attitude the evolutions will have.
