We Hunted The Mammoth
Last week, Donald Trump introduced a set of NFTs in the form of “Digital Trading Cards” that were all badly photoshopped pictures of him, with the body of an especially buff Adonis, in a variety of different costumes, looking as heroic and resolute as the clearly underpaid graphic designers could make him. He was dressed up as, among other things, a superhero, a cowboy, an astronaut, and … a golfer. He took in $4.5 million selling the things.
So I’ve been using DALL-E, the AI art software, to create pictures of mammoths to use as graphics. The only problem is that DALL-E can’t always remember what a mammoth is supposed to look like and has terrible problems with both trunks and tusks, rendering most of the art it produces unusable.

I don’t know why these exist or who they’re supposed to appeal to, but here they are: the twelve most terrifyingly meat-related Valentine’s Day cards that might just turn you into a vegetarian.
ProMaleMemes, with its 148 subscribers, is not the most popular of the Men’s Rightsy subreddits. It’s not just unpopular compared with the original Men’s Rights subreddit, with its 319,488 subscribers; it’s even a bit of a laggard compared with the subreddit that spawned it, the also-highly-unpopular ProMaleCollective subreddit, with its 4608 subscribers.

So, hey, look at my art! I mean, you see some of it already in the form of the graphics I do for the blog. But I also like making more abstract digital art. (I’m currently in a sort of polka-dot phase.)

Our great- great- (great?) grandparents were kind of fucked up, at least if these were the sorts of things they sent each other on Halloween.

So I was browsing through the #QAnon hashtag on Twitter, as one does, and admiring the amazing graphic design abilities of the Q Believers and MAGAheads in general, when I ran across a couple of memes that made me wonder if I was hallucinating.

Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. Been feeling like shit, and a resurgent sleep disorder has left me utterly wiped out most of the time for the last week or so. Doing my best to get a handle on it all.

So I went ahead and did my weird DreamscopeApp filter thing with Rudy because, I don’t know, I love me some weird filters. Enjoy, if you enjoy this sort of thing!
UPDATE about 5 minutes after this went up: TRUMP ORDERS MISSILE STRIKES ON SYRIA
Here are a few initial reactions to the strikes on Twitter, followed by my original post:
