Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin who has recently relocated to northern Minnesota to be closer to my children and have better access to healthcare. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and I am still having to help cover the utility bills back home on the reservation for my father who is also disabled.

I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.

the house crow is a medium-sized crow that is native to asia, but has introduced populations throughout the world. the house crow’s neck and chest are grayish-brown, the shade varying based on location. like other crows, house crows are omnivores and opportunistically feed on small animals, human scraps, and insects.

This is a list of recs I got by refreshing and screencapping over just a few minutes. They showed up for me because I’m interested in: tigers, foxes, wolves, libraries, Egypt, Mario, and delicious food. You may also get these if you like Google, faggot, fart, beard, avatar, bangtan boys, gordita, snow, French fries, brandy, ponytail, beautiful hair, veggies, BBC, urban, and German.

If you noticed, they got around the nsfw stuff with words like hoirny, titsjob, brests, nudesnap, and petite teen. Female ejaculation and webcam girls still seem to be okay.

The sad part is I didn’t get this stuff before. Only when they started weeding out actual NSFW words did the bots start tagging stuff with Egypt and library. So I’m guessing a lot more thirteen year olds with a love for French fries and Mario are getting porn advertised to them now.

I miss when I got architecture porn instead of porn porn.

I’ve been followed by an absolute shittonne of porn bots since this crackdown. Loads of greyed out actual blogs on my dash but whee, new porn

game: has any kind of elemental based fighting system

me: apply pokemon logic

To be fair Pokemon element logic is rooted in normal logic.

yeah, everyone knows a wrestlers biggest weakness is the local pigeons

go outside and try to suplex a bird

tell me how bug resists fighting

As a casual Pokemon player this reads like some kind of surrealist poem but I’m still here for it. 

New neural net snakes

lewisandquark:

There’s a kind of neural network that learns to imitate whatever text you give it, whether that’s recipes, song lyrics, or even the names of guinea pigs.

Their imitations are often imperfect (they only know what’s in their dataset and therefore end up accidentally coming up with things that they don’t know are bad ideas). But one area where they tend to do well is inventing new species of things. The neural net’s birds were entirely believable, and its fish were generally no stranger than the species that already exist. So for my next project, I decided to generate some snakes.

I collected English common names for about 1,000 snakes and started training.

The first thing I noticed is that its snake names were a lot more noticeably fake than its birds or fish – the snake dataset is way smaller, so it had much fewer examples to learn from.

Tostlesnake
Sine cobra
Snoked snake
Cancan rattlesnake
Chippen’s putter python
Southern coat snake
Pinkwarm’s Copperanada
Smart sea snake
Western Nack
Blonded snake
Ham’s Pattlescops
Green tree nosh Snake
Hecker’s sea snake
Ned-scaled tree viper
Barned dater Snake
Smalle’s mock ractlesnake
Bland brown snake
Corned python
Common bust viper
Smorthead Garter Snake

Some snakes did approach the level of believability. You might be able to bluff some herpetologists into thinking these are real.

Many-nosed Snake
Cornhead snake
Arizona liger snake
Mangbow’s Earth Snake
Wing snake
Banded gutter snake
Jacucan balm snake
Banded guff adder
Bamboo tire snake
Rave hognose Snake
Tree-nosed adder
Bland-headed tree snake

Good luck with these, though.

Shite snake
Spitty rattlesnake
Thing snake
Brown brown Black Snake
Tamestail farter Snake
Black-neded tampon
Madeshine spite- racer
Bognia scat snake

I also decided to see what would happen if I trained a neural net both on snakes AND on Halloween costumes. Pleasingly, here are some of the snakes it came up with:

Wonder snake
Fairy rattlesnake
The Spacer Snake
Robo snake
Sexy cobra
Bob dog tree Snake

I had way too much fun generating those, and ended up generating more than would fit here. If you’d like to read the rest of them (and optionally get bonus material every time I post), enter your email here.

I’m particularly fond of the “Common Bust Snake” which sounds like it lives ina particularly rube goldberg “booby trap”
