One of my unfinished sketches with color palette. Text: ai art is lazy, uninspired, and it all looks the same. Just fyi if you use the human plagiarism machine I don’t respect you as a creator.

Seeing a big influx on Insta of β€œchildren’s book illustrators” following me. Their profiles of full of clearly AI-generated, generic, smiling, dead-eyed children.

Imagine a newsletter subscription that includes also a yearly book. Something you could lick (not sure it'll taste good though, but you could!). A nicely printed object, fully made in Japan.
From today, ALL MundoMendo members get the books (a 30 euro value) for free.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Is it bad if your stock is down almost 40% over a year despite quadrupling down on AI during a stock market bubble?

If you are a person who cares about books, you’re different from Jeff Bezos. Now would be a good day to stop shopping from Amazon, permanently.

No le debemos nada a la patronal, no le debemos nada a la clase polΓ­tica.

Se nos estΓ‘ robando y se nos estΓ‘ precarizando con ello. Y pretenden hacernos creer que es normal e inevitable.

Nos quejaremos, protestaremos y lucharemos hasta que entiendan que no no vamos a aceptar esto.

Lately the only part of Bluesky to bring me any joy has been the fountain pens feed. Consider this an expression of my gratitude.
