ChatGPT is not just a tool. It is use another shell in the munitions cabinet of big-tech designed to further distance users from control of their own hardware; and to lock us into centralised "cloud-based" systems. In an era of unprecedented desktop processing-power we're going back to client-server

It's only 8 years older than C. C is used in everything, and it's over 50 years old.

There’s something about sharing the days, the quiet moments and the loud ones, that builds a life together almost without noticing.

Years go by, and still, sitting side by side feels like the best place to be. From dating, then to living together, to calling this a family, I’m just grateful we keep choosing each other.

Two years married today, but in reality, we’ve been a family for way more.

this is amazing. I would totally wear a fursuit like that. Perhaps not quite that diameter (I am not that spectacular of a chonker) but lol that is fantastic.

I'd want a picture of me wearing that and playing Robotron haha

The scariest part about this, is that with how upside down things are today and how bat shit crazy the current administration is, I could see this headline being just as at home on NBC or CNN as I could on The Onion.

@xoagray Don't be silly.

However, if they start talking about litter boxes for dragons in schools...

*BAM*

"Anybody else want to negotiate?"

"Wh-where did he learn to n-negotiate like that?"

"I wonder."


Still a good film.

Yesterday I watched Dolphin Boy, which is a bit of a simplistic children's story, but kinda cute.

Here's to the people who will tell management that something is dumb once and then when they're told to do it regardless will do it /exactly/ as they are told to do. May they always smile wryly when their prophecy of dumbness is fulfilled.

It's the only way to survive under asinine leadership. 😌

The rapid pivot the TERFs are attempting to recast the SC ruling from 'you can exclude trans people' to 'you must exclude trans people' is the first thing that must be challenged. It is not now illegal to allow trans women into a women's space.

Not pressing the test button. Not pressing the test button !

Afraid it does not stop beeping after a test. It did happen in previous home.

And the smoke detectors the installed in this home does not have repalceable battery. But io think the go silent when you pull them off the socket and activate a switch.


Maybe there is someone out there watching us back, we can't be alone here. But somehow, looking up makes things feel a little lighter.

A portrait of Koda , the wah, done during TFF's Artists Alley.

It was my first acrylic painting done at an artists alley during a convention ever. It took me some hours more than when I work on these on my studio, there are so many (good) distractions, people saying hi, cute fursuits that I can't hug because I have my hands full of painting, and even questions about the acrylics I was doing and about art in general. It was a very good experience, and something way different than when I'm just sketching.

This time I didn't record any time-lapse, hard to do that at a convention while doing many things at the same time. It would be possible, but annoying.

Meanings of the smoke for the upcoming papal conclave:

Black smoke means they're burning oil, which could be a sign of piston ring or valve stem seal wear

White smoke means they're burning coolant and the papal head gasket has blown

The actual first painting of the series of portraits on this format I did, before heading to TFF.
This is for Dahan, the cat.

Traditional. Acrylics.

This was also the first traditional painting I tried to record a time-lapse with a desk phone stand instead of a tripod as I was using for long time. It works very well, but this first time I didn't adjust it very tight as it should have been, and during the time-lapse it was falling slowly, which it looked pretty comical on the final video.

If you want to watch it, it is on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

And the same reminder of every of my posts, if you want to check more content, like full time-lapse videos, WIPs, full resolution files, exclusive merch and seeing pictures before I post them on my galleries, consider supporting me on Patreon or Ko-Fi. That helps me to keep making more and more art. Thank you!!

I did not realise there were elections going on today until I took a look here. (I haven't looked at my feed for several days, been a bit distracted!) Apparently our area didn't have elections (so I didn't fail to vote where I could, so that's okay) because they've been postponed for some reason, not because (like our old area, which was in a London borough) we're not having any at all.

Probably the best #anagram I will ever personally discover.

I've been waiting for a good moment this year to post it. I thought in 2025 someone would be bound to use this phrase in public discourse. But I haven't seen a case of it yet, so I'll just post this anyway.
