Today, I worked a lot, and procrastinated a little. I wanted to draw a raven, but I felt devoid of any passion to do so today. And so I just drew this kind of bad tree in a hurry.
you know that phenomenon where vaccines are so effective that people forget how scary the original disease was? I think Americans are like this about government
Today, I drew a dog. It is not the best, but it is better then the three wolves I drew up until now. The more I look, the more I get proud of the improvement...and more dissapointed I get at the bad details.. From now on, I really should try and make my drawings larger. Because it might make them look better at the details.
Oameni buni și frați in patrie, cum am ajuns sa fim într-o situație ca cea din SUA?
Și alta intrebare, cine e Georgescu asta și de cine a fost pus
Că singur nu a strâns atâtea voturi morții lui
La turul 2 votați fie cu Lasconi fie cu PSD, care o pica
Că altfel rămânem fără țară
Vai de noi
Ok, here me out. I think there is some new malware risk, and that Steam may have some security issues, or even suffering an attack. See, I had decided to do some scans, and seen some worring signs. The files where, to my surprise, among the proton files I downloded from Steam. As in, downloded officially.
To be sure it was not a false positive, I looked through VirusTotal to be sure.
And then I found this. The file was scanned by numerous security vendors, and 22 out of the 73 vendors discovered a trojan. And among those vendors, where included Avast, Avira, ClamAV, Google, McAfee and Microsoft. This was bad, so I deleted it, and deleted the proton programs(and many other things from Steam, JUST TO BE SURE).
And I am not the only one who had seen this. I found two recent cases of people talking about similar cases on both GitHub, and on the the Steam Community.
Now, I dont want to accuse Steam and Valve of anything. They are likely victims of this.
But I post this, to spread some awarness, so Valve can fix this issue, if there is any, and not just a bunch of false positives.
More union busting
I am screaming into the void, but please, to any left winger from the USA who happens to see this. Dont fucking risk global stability, or the environment by voting third party. If you split your votes with Third party candidates, you know who will likely win?
Trump.
And you know what will happen if he wins? These things:
-The Palestinian genocide will continue, with even fewer chances of ending, because Biden at least tried to put a ceasefire.
-The Russian fascists will continue to murder innocent Ukrainians, and continue treatening Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
-Project 2025 will happen, and the USA will slide into actual fascism at worst.
-The Environment will be even wrost affected, and all attempts to mitigate the damage the USA does to the environment will be stopped, thus helping bring out a climate apocalypse.
-Worker rights will be ruined even worse in the USA.
-Fascists around the world will be emboldened.
-So much more shit.
And if you think you can fix this with a revolution, do you have any idea how bloody a revolution will actually be? How many people will die in a revolution, and how much a revolution increases poverty? Do you have any conception of the fact that a revolution can actually fail at succeeding and can be squashed by an army?
Do you have any idea how much less damaging and less risky just voting now is?
So. While today I procrastinated somewhat, it was not as bad as yesterday. And I actually made two drawings today. And the first turned out so bad I could not stand showing others. So here is the second one I made. It was stil made in a hurry, but it is still something I can show others.
So. There is some chaos and discussion on what the democratic party in the USA should do. Keep Biden, or replace him with someone else(most likely Kamala Harris).
This is actually complicated, for several reasons. Sure, Kamala is younger, and in a better mental and physical shape and according to some polls she does better against Trump. But on the other hand, according to most polls, she does worse then Biden, the GOP has started their racist and sexist attacks against her, she lack the traditional incumbent advantage(incumbents tend to do better then they are polled to do), and a large part of the centrists and the goldfish swing voters have forgotten how bad things were under Trump.
But whatever the Democratic Party choses to do....please. Just fucking vote blue. If anybody from the USA sees this, vote blue, and save your country from fascism. Just...do this.
Using Al in history videos makes me want to chew glass. It's lousy enough to use it- but at least source it for what it is. Don't put real pictures about an event next to generated ones and not make any distinction at all. *actually, asking youtube creators to source anything they use is wishful thinking.
So. Today I tried something more complicated. So here is a little owl perched on a human arm. Not happy with the arm proportions, or with the number of feathers, and there I stil some remains from the erased parts. And the rest....it does not seem bad to me, but there is still room for improvement.
