Did I mention I'd been in a dance competition? Yeah? Hehe, sorry. It was just such a proud moment for me and such an amazing experience. Also it got me some -amazing- photos of the new suit that I've just gotta share!

...plus I'm finding that I just really love the 'grizzled and kindly cowboy' vibe I felt like I was rocking with that hat. :) I'm delighted to do some rootin' and tootin', but when that's done I'm all about some gentle cosy hugs.

Continuing the studies, this time a gatto nero enjoying the contemplative life.
So far the studies are with photographies I took on my last trip, this one was somewhere around Florence, but my plan is to start doing these studies live. As I had mentioned on the last picture, I have some plans about this, stay tuned about it on my Telegram channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

Traditional. Watercolors.
Take a look of the original piece at the TFF's Art show.

And you can download the scanned version and be the first one to see my drawings before I post them, including new pages of the Art & Biro comic, at supporting me on Patreon or Ko-Fi:

Venetian Lion taking a coffe over the Ponte dei Carmini.
Watercolors sketch based on a photo taken during my trip to Venice. I want to start making these kind of studies, I have some plans in mind about this, I want to improve backgrounds and light composition, and definitely would love to do it live. Stay tuned on my Telegram channel because I may have an idea about this. ( https://t.me/panda_paco )

Traditional. Watercolors and markers
The original piece will be exhibited at the TFF's art show

If you want to see this on a better resolution, also a scanned version, and more drawings I haven't posted on my galleries yet, and new pages of the Art & Biro comic before anyone else, support me monthly on Patreon or Ko-Fi, this helps me a lot to keep working:

I instantly thought of cs_italy when seeing your work ๐Ÿ˜… Beautiful art as always ๐Ÿคฉ

I wonder if R.A. "Smigg" Smith knew in 1990 that people would still by finding copies of his "creation" in the year of our Waluigi, 2026? #riscos #retrocomputing

e: If anyone knows what happened to "Smigg" afterwards, can you please fill me in? I'm curious if they got a bollocking for releasing Icon, and what they later went on to do.

I am probably the most cis guy who ever cisโ€™ed, but I think people should be able to change their gender the way they change their clothes. Sell HRT over the counter, go ahead. Let people experiment, have fun with it! It boggles my mind that anybody cares what other people do with their gender. โ€œBut it permanently changes your body!โ€ Yeah so does a tattoo or a piercing, two other things Iโ€™d never do, but since Iโ€™m not you, it doesnโ€™t affect me, now does it?

smartphones suck, for all intents and purposes they're general purpose computers, they're devices with a user operating system where you can install third party binaries for doing various activities from work, to games, to communication, to media creation, and so on

but then phone makes go: nu uh, actually it's an appliance and as such shall have a tightly coupled and controlled hardware/software stack, where we get a final say what you can do or what software can even run on the device you bought and own

for fuck sake, just give me a pocketable computer with a sim card slot, it would literally be less work to not develop a whole custom bespoke environment just to make it harder for people to use the shit they already own

It's almost the end of the day, finally a pause for reading that book, and it's just the time that also Gale wants some head scratches, a quiet pause in the day shared with the person she loves the most.
BTW, I know for many of you it's strange but I personally love universes where there are anthropomorphic creatures and regular animals. So a dog can have a dog as pet.

Digital painting for Gale and Dirtypaws.
Digital. Procreate.

There is a video exported from Procreate where I show the quick process of this painting, you can watch it on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

I shared the full version of that video, exclusive for my monthly supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi, you can also join and check it out, also you can be part of a big illustration I'm doing for those who are supporting me on those platforms, because they are a big help so I can continue doing this.

While I do have some sympathy with this outlook; The author is treating Trump like an aberration.

Trump represents a deeper sickness in our* culture that the "progressive" side of our politics seemingly wants to address just as little as the conservatives. Because they too enjoy MONEY more than is healthy.

Trump is a thing because the conditions that allow people like him to /be/ a thing are tolerated all too readily by too many people who wear the cloak of virtue. People who turn a blind eye to poverty as long as it is wrapped in BLM regalia. People who do not understand why a large proportion of the voter base DESPISE them, and would happily throw their lot in with a monster like Trump.

The structure of our home is damaged. If you want to stop a future Trump, papering over bad plaster is no longer an option. Replastering is needed, and that process is going to be very painful for some of you in currently privileged positions. And if it is not; it is clearly not enough.

*I say our culture as what goes for America also goes for other English-speaking nations.

Rycochet mastodon (AP)

The like of Trump and farage are the end result of ignoring a cancerous mole that everyone knew needed looking at in the 60s. They let corporate fascism continue to exist under the guise of fighting communism and purge the left from politics, leaving meoliberals behind to wear the skin. They had an easier time in the US of course, it took until Thatcher to really gut the unions here. After she was done, they turned to the left, except the left weren't there anymore, just the center right, offering no real solutions because that would upset their paymasters, but happy to take things away. When all you get is people telling you that you can't have things and it's your fault, there's no wonder people turn to anyone who says it's someone else's fault.

'I will punish <X> and bring back <Y>' will always win out over 'I promise nothing but growth for the sake of investors' when most people don't have money to be part of that class, and the guardian columnist class handwringing about things they enable or telling people they need to work harder just pushes them further right.

Colin mastodon (AP)

when he says โ€œweโ€ he means the so many who never turn out to vote, and the % that does vote but loses when Trump and GOP have full power.

โ€œOnlyโ€ 10-30% of the country is actually pure evil. Vs what appears to be 50-100%. I think what theyโ€™re trying to get at. โ€œNot my presidentโ€ basically.

But yeah I donโ€™t know what theyโ€™re trying to get at. Decades of missteps have allowed this.

Just looking at the latest on the Wordpress feed and came to the subheading "AI, Automation, and the Future of WordPress".

No.

GenAI is *not* automation, as that heading clearly tries to suggest. "Automation" implies repeatability, reliability and above all a *controlled* process. Today's AI (even if it was actually intelligent) isn't at all reliable, so it certainly can't be repeatable (at least not in a useful way) and is definitely not controlled.

So yeah, no.

FluffyfluffJack invited Token over for some pasta he cooked, one of his specialties. The moment the plate reaches the raccoon, he starts devouring it with complete enthusiasm.
The fluff boy simply watches with an affectionate smile, clearly amused by the chaos.

BTW it is unknonw what is the species of Jack, so let's say he's a fluff.

Digital painting for Satti and Jack Fluffyfluff.
You can watch the process of it on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

And guess what? Maybe you didn't expect I say it but... there is a more complete version but it is exclusive for supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi. But you can be part of the club and not only getting full videos but also high resolution of every pictures, you can watch WIPs, also you can have access to my drawings before I post them on my galleries, and waaay more (including being part of a big illustration project I'm doing with all my supporters, you can be part of it!)

Looks like the swiping weirdness I've been seeing occasionally on my Pixel 6a recently is not a new thing:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/171fyzp/pixel_6_swipe_gestures_not_working_properly_after/

Exact same symptoms as described here, but: on Android 16, only started recently, and doesn't tend to happen very often for me. (Still annoying when it does happen of course.)
