paying off my student loans (:
really happy to find that I’ve finally financially recovered from my trip to spain!
what should I blow all of my money on next?
Here's a rebranding I did for Album Of The Year, aka AOTY. It's a website that lets you rate, review, and discuss the latest music and also tons of releases from the past. It's pretty fun if you're into music like I am. However, the current branding is pretty boring, it's just a dark grey circle with "AOTY" written in it. So I decided to have some fun and put together a more fun and interesting branding. Initially this was gonna just be a UI design for a AOTY mobile app since there currently isn't one, but then I thought to myself "why not just also make a full branding presentation to complement the UI?" and thus began my mission to make one of my biggest branding projects ever, and it officially got out of hand. Anyway, I hope you like this! The full project is a whopping 28 slides in total! My largest project by sheer volume. If you wanna see it, check out the links in the comments or visit my website seanjw.com to find my Behance and Dribbble. I’m going to go back to working on other design stuff now that this is out of the way, lol. 
Plastics engineering Drake be like you used to polyphenylsulfone
Just finished up a branding project that I’m quite pleased with, would greatly appreciate if y’all gave it a look! I poured a lot of effort into this and tried out some UI applications for the first time, was super fun to make. Hope y’all enjoy!

To quote the wise philosopher Todd Chavez,
“Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me chicken soup with rice.”
fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. fool me -- you can't get fooled again.
gotta be one of the sayings of all time
ngl it’s super cool to see how hyped people are getting about rugby as a sport now due to the olympics, especially US women’s rugby with their bronze medal win. such a great sport that deserves all the love it can get
Auriali once again proves that she is transparent and clear with her policy and committed to letting the truth prevail over fearmongering and lies.
she has also proven that she is a silly lil goober uwu
Vote Auriali. Don’t be blinded by your fear or scared by unnuanced criticism.
Let insanity prevail!
OOGA BOOGA FACT CHECK
Auriali has not mentioned communism, nor endorsed anyone who does. She has thanked fellow wasteof members for their support, (e.g. changing their names, profile pictures, or banners to show support for Auri24). @Perrin has already been announced as Auriali’s running mate, not @Kiwi.
Forcing Elon Musk to rename X back to Twitter is because the Twitter brand was better. It was able to add a word into normal dialogue, that being “Tweet”. We vow not to force any other private individuals or companies to rename themselves. We only want to rename X back to Twitter because Elon Musk sucks at branding.
Renaming The White House to The Crack House is objectively funny, the manifesto does not have plans to sell drugs, nor do we have plans to do so.
Our tax evasion plan will not be as widespread as Blaze claims. Billionaires like Elon Musk already evade taxes. Our random approach will more fairly force the world’s richest to finally pay taxes to fund all gov programs and more, while allowing regular citizens to save money when they randomly can tax evade. It’s also funny.
We're bankrupting Adobe for the greater good, the company extorts customers for 100s of dollars to cancel earlier for no reason and also make bad products that would be better maintained by the open source community.
We’re not shutting down wasteof lol.
This shows the Blaze campaign is anti-fun and anti-silly. We’re in the silly business, not the funny business.
WARNING
This message is urgent, as it has to do Auri’s plans with wasteof.
To start, Auri plans to make wasteof/America communist on the platform if elected, which can undermine freedom and liberty on this platform. (https://wasteof.money/posts/669fc881bbcf41aae3fef228). Although Auri didn’t promote it directly, the account he endorsed does, & Kiwi even offered to be the VP to make it communist.
But that’s not even the worst of what Auriali has planned. His manifesto has plans to promote destructive policies by forcing Elon Musk to change his company name to Twitter, suppressing his right to freely express himself, changing the White House to the Crack House to sell drugs, dividing & destroying our communities as a result. He also plans to allow tax evasion to be legal, leaving 0 funds for programs like SNAP, Medicare, or Social Security, resulting in millions without retirement, disability, or veterans’ benefits. Not only that, he also plans to make Adobe bankrupt out of hatred for the company. He sent a clear message that if he’s president, wasteof will no longer exist.
But this doesn’t have to happen. We have a candidate that instead wants prosperity, freedom, & unity, while promoting accountability & strengthening our communities.
That candidate is Blaze. With your vote, we can say a loud NO to his horrific policies, because YOUR VOICE MATTERS! As Auriali said, “It’s time to get serious.” Let’s do just that & VOTE BLAZE TODAY and save wasteof!
EDIT: bro it’s a joke lmao
Me when I lie and fear monger about policies I don’t understand in a desperate attempt to win an election on a site that 20 people use and fail to comprehend basic information about my opponent’s campaign staff

I am proud to join Auriali’s campaign as her Vice President. I cannot wait to assist Auriali in her great plans for this nation, and am truly humbled by the immense responsibility of this role. I hope to be a worthy VP (Vice Peein). #AurialiPerrin2024
Hello fellow wasteof users, I have 2 massive campaign announcements to make today. Please read:
I have picked my running mate for this election, that being the wonderful @Perrin. I believe he will be a strong VP for my administration if I am elected. I will appoint other members of my government after the election if I do become elected.
I have released my manifesto, it is a 25 point list of things I plan to do if I become President, I have other ideas that I plan to do, and I am happy to continue to work on my policies all the way up to the election.
Follow @Auri24 for more news from the campaign and remember, vote for insanity, vote for Auri!
Some have already stooped so low to promote baseless lies and libel in order to smear Auriali’s presidential campaign. Shameful that people are already resorting to manipulative tactics in order to sway public opinion in this election. Auriali has no ulterior motives, speaks only facts, and has nothing but great plans for this nation. Vote for insanity. Vote Auriali.
BEEP BEEP UH OH STINKY!!! FACT CHECK
Auriali has not published their manifesto yet. There are plans to release it tomorrow. Any statements regarding the manifesto at this time are pure speculation. The Auri24 campaign will continue to give straight facts to the users of wasteof. We’re not in the funny business, we’re in the silly business!
@auriali is being dishonest in their manifesto. If you elect me as president, not only will I try to make this country a better place for everyone, I’ll make both waffles and pancakes are free on Sundays, and french toast sticks half off!
I hereby endorse the great @auriali in her ongoing presidential campaign
AURIALI HAS WON THE ELECTION

Literally nothing but facts. A preschooler messing around with crayons has more potential for creating emotionally complex and legitimately moving art than any AI could ever hope to achieve, solely bc it doesn’t have a mind out of which to draw any semblance of emotion or passion, it can only faintly imitate the passion of actual people.
I’d highly recommend Drew Gooden’s latest video on AI and how fundamentally bad it is at attempting to create anything resembling emotionally resonant art. Definitely a powerful watch that summed up my thoughts perfectly.
Do you think AI can generate IGOR by Tyler, The Creator? By The Time I Get to Phoenix by Injury Reserve? Everywhere At The End Of Time by The Caretaker? Everything Everywhere All At Once? Into/Across The Spider-Verse? Love, Death & Robots? Utopia? A Picasso painting? A Zdzisław Beksiński painting? Can it write Animal Farm by George Orwell? Watership Down by Richard Adams? I don’t think it can. Art is made by humans to connect with other humans, to make us feel, think, and more. Human art understands humans. AI art only understands what it is fed. It can generate a generic picture but yet can’t generate a hand properly, one of the earliest pieces of art ever made were handprints and a computer can’t understand it enough to generate it right. I think that says a lot about the difference between human and AI art. AI and tech bros don’t understand this about art, they never will and even if they did or do they don’t care, they see art merely as a product, a commodity with no other value than the price tag slapped on it. “How much can we charge a subscription to access this art for?” is the only thought that crosses the minds of people who champion this kind of soulless, emotionless “art”.
i’m legally obligated to be on team da-ta for legal reasons (marriage) but team auriali is cooler bc it has auriali
