I saw this video on YT, where it was claimed that the move to green energy can’t be achieved through capitalism, because there’s not enough profit in it. On the contrary, the video claims that we are in this mess through the exploitation of humans by a few wealthy individuals in the 19th century.

While trying to improve it’s disheartening that the artist lacks an overview of their progress, since they go from artwork to artwork, never seeing a breakthrough, nor an overnight success. What remains is the joy of drawing. Of course, that can easily be had without intent of getting better at it.

One of the questions arising in busy, sleep-deprived people is: “Why do we need sleep?” On the opposite, well-rested individuals ask themselves if it should be reversed into: “Why do we need to be awake?” Sleep seems an optimal state to be in, while wake brings problems.

I had some sleep over me not bonding with the How We Feel app. Like I’ve learned not to give human traits to animals, treat them as their own being, seems I’ve learned not to anthropomorphize e-devices and apps. Since those are dispassionate, I’m allowed to be the same. That’s my rationalization 🤔

I can imagine so many websites are being blocked in the European Union by their owners when one disallows tracking, is because they are in bed with Meta (aka Facebook). Meta is known to collect highly personal data, including health data, for attention farming. The Threads app is no exception there.

I don’t put myself above tracing to better understand what I’m drawing. It’s a shortcut used by artists since the invention of the camera obscura, and known to be popular around the second half of the 16th century. It’s like with cheat sheets in school; not needed if you’ve written enough of them.

I suppose rate limiting Twitter users to 10,000 tweets per day for verified users, 1000 for existing unverified, and 500 for new unverified users, will force people to do something with all that free time. Might I suggest paying attention to that stranger across the dinner table, aka spouse?

I remember The Man from U.N.C.L.E. as a great spy series from the early 1960’s, starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum as American Napoleon Solo and Russian Illya Kuryakin. So I drew Solo in pixel art from reference. I haven’t seen it in ages, so I don’t know if it holds up to today’s standards.

Art used to be an opportunity for self-reflection, art for art’s sake. With mechanical reproduction, art became a commodity, entertainment. With these immersive exhibitions and AI generative art, even the original is nullified. It’s entertainment for entertainment’s sake.
