On the topic of #AIart: a common defense for AI is that it learns from other art in the same way humans do, therefore it's not theft. So I wanted to try to illustrate how that's not accurate.

Naughty Sock! Now even the best little boys and girls can experience the Naughty List. Quite a few of the items in the Naughty & Nice catalog can be shaken to some effect. Give it a try!

Bluetooth Enabled Smart Dreidel: Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel! I made it out of thermoplastic polyurethane. A close relation of the laser hand. Shoots in three different patterns.

In Little Inferno, nut cracks you! The Nutcracker shoots exploding chestnuts while hopping around. We actually didn't know if his mouth would work with the game's motors. There was a surprising amount of engineering involved!

Sw1SS 4R-M3: Oh by golly have a holly jolly set of AI controlled knives for Christmas this year. Definitely a fun utility item. More predictable than the Manly Razor and almost as dangerous as the Drill Chain Thrower! Vroom!

Reindeer Dust: Made from only the driest reindeer. One of our personal favorites! Reindeer Dust makes anything it comes into contact with float. Gets you as hiiiigggghh as the North Pole.

With enough of these, you could invade your own galaxy. Great for cleaning up your fireplace, the UFO uses a tractor beam to pull in one object at a time.

Causes 40% more festive puncture wounds than the leading brand. Also, there's a 10% chance one of these is a mini-nuke bulb.

After spending a lifetime at the same company, the humble Office Worker Plushie is fit enough to survive any robot apocalypse. Over 7 Billion sold!

Powers everything! But does it include batteries for itself? The Batteries Included! item, automatically starts any items in the fireplace without burning them. A true innovation in burnable toy technology!

Ho ho ho, where does it go? Only Santa knows. The natural evolution of the Celebration Bus and the Rocketship of Learning.

Can ah sweep ya' chimney, guvena'? cough cough cough The only thing filthier than "Clean" Cole's arms and legs, is his mouth! May bear a striking resemblance to a certain Henry Hatsworth character.

Sometimes one man's trash is... another man's trash. A sister item to the Nesting Dolls, this present eventually ends in a coffee gift card. We've never seen it go beyond 8 boxes, but surely someone has!

Smells like a holiday romance is afoot! Probably the grossest dad-joke item in the Naughty & Nice catalog.

The Lil' Scientist Kit is one of the most versatile items in the N&N catalogs. Effects include: - Black: 0 gravity - Orange: break an item into parts - Green: dissolves anything it touches - Purple: makes things sticky

Gets you from point A to... wait, where am I? Teleports toys into the upper parts of the chimney. This was another toy we made to see what other people do with it!

Taking money from the rich is perfectly legitimate

Republicans: “We are going to plunge the world economy into chaos unless you cut Social Security!” Democrats: “No.” Media: “high wire brinkmanship between the political parties!”
