In my attempts to find a use for a.i. I decided to try and reproduce an image I've shared here before; first as a crappy sketch in an old challenge and then as a crappy digital painting based on it, like so...


So, with these here past monstrosities in mind I first generated a load of images at perchance.org like this...



I then opened the GIMP and applied what can only be described as a shed-full of faff to end up with this brand new a.i. assisted monstrosity...

I was trying to imagine something a little more constructive than homicidal thoughts. Swapping obviously wouldn't be the ideal solution but it's a possibility that would at the very least alleviate your current situation. If you can't talk to the guy and come to some other understanding between you then you're going to have to think of something else. Maybe buy him a pair of big, fluffy slippers or a strip of thick carpet for him to pace on - try to get him to recognise your needs by recognising his.

Yeah, then as a special Gowl guest I get shown to my complementary man-shaped wicker glamping pod by thirteen topless nuns and a dwarf dressed as a goat. Thanks for the invite, but I ain't fallin' for that one again.

Sounds like you're having a grand old time there, JBC - more power to ye!

Lorenzo makes an excellent point. Where were people like me while all this was going on in the past?

Personally I didn't really understand the situation, thinking it was some ancient and complicated religious feud I simply wasn't informed enough to comment on beyond the most basic blanket condemnations of human-on-human violence. However, my understanding deepened as a result of the October 7th attacks. While the mainstream media proceeded from the assumption that the current situation basically began on October 7th, the better alternative media reports set the current events in the context of the last seventy five years (and more) and suddenly it didn't seem so complicated any more. Israel has been stealing Palestine for nearly a century, village by village, farm by farm, home by home. That's the core of the problem, religion's just the excuse. Now I understand. Now I see the barbarity of it. Now I feel "qualified" to comment and justified in feeling anger towards those enabling or excusing this failure of our collective humanity.

More importantly, where was the government or the BBC? Everything I've learned comes from publicly available and ostensibly reliable sources (Amnesty International, the UN, etc.) documenting horrific events stretching back decades. How were journalists and politicians not condemning this history of atrocities all along? How is it that, on the contrary, anyone who did criticise the situation ended up being viciously harangued or fired or smeared as a racist?

The sickening way our government is responding makes me feel like one of the characters in Mitchell & Webb's excellent Are we the Baddies? sketch.

So yeah, I am late to this party - but I'm here now and, as you all know, I always bring a bit of punch...
