I love seeing cacti decorated with holiday lights this time of year, here in Tucson, AZ! Here’s my art of a festively decorated Enlightened Saguaro. You can read about my process creating this art on my latest blog post paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/…

A Festive Cactus

Day 13 #ArtAdventCalendar: The vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis), literally the ‘vampire squid from hell’ is a small deep sea cephalopod found throughout temperate and tropical oceans with two long retractile filaments, located between the first two pairs of arms on its dorsal side, unlike either octopuses or squids. 🧵1/2

I guess the news is out that I'm now on the advisory board of the UN Human Development Report.
As someone from a family that has experienced extreme poverty, the stakes for the UN Development Programme's work have always felt deeply urgent to me. I was surprised and delighted to be asked, and I hope my involvement can contribute in some small way to the wider work of others toward human flourishing.

Adobe now has a tool to get rid of ugly window reflections in photos
A year after the feature was revealed as a Sneak at Adobe’s annual conference, the Reflection Removal tool is now available in Camera Raw, and coming soon to Lightroom.Andrew Liszewski (The Verge)
@Gargron sometimes you can’t take a photo without a window between.
Example : in a plane or behind a protecting glass from dangerous stuff (chemical, electrical, etc.).
AI is bad for creative reasons I agree but when it could be useful and we assume doesn’t steal someone’s work, even though I don’t like it or don’t see it in my workflow, we cannot just ignore it for the sake of disliking or else.
Personally, I think this feature can be very useful in certain cases or circumstances.
@Gargron
Honestly this sounds like a great tool to have.
Angles and polarised filters won't help with everything and the average person is just waving their phone anyway.
Not that I would willingly give money to Adobe mind you.
But it's more useful than moving things around in the photo that everyone has.
