Jim nerding out over stuff is always a lovely thing to behold 🥰

A German right wing tabloid proudly announces that it now has an AI, too, and presents it as a help to identify mushrooms. ...with a mushroom that is mildly poisonous, having a deadly mushroom as sibling.

Going full egomaniac and posting the robot from my own sci-fi show (illustrated by the wonderful @eimhinmcnamara.bsky.social )

Israeli soldiers were filmed dragging and forcing two young Palestinian children to the ground, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

Every video you make with Sora 2 costs OpenAI $5. This year they’ve spent the best part of a Trillion Dollars (one thousand billion) and brought in $12bn revenue. For them to be able to *break even* they’d need to increase the cost of every monthly subscription 10 times. They are so fucked.

A good thread on this kind of stuff, which creators should be aware of. I will also note that a publisher-producer (especially with no creator producer) incentivises them to strike a deal for less option money (which is shared) and more producer fees (which aren't).

Drepanosaurs have such character! Drepanosaurus, a Late Triassic arboreal reptile not closely related to anything living today. #Sciart

In Ireland we grow up learning about how in the Dark Ages pilgrims would travel here from all over Europe to read books that had been saved here while they were lost elsewhere & I think we need to get our politicians to think like this about things like Basic Income. A light for the darkening world.

Thank you @eimhinmcnamara.bsky.social for the peg bars! I would love to animate on paper again sometime 🙏🙇

Unfortunately for Jim Gavin, across all codes and creeds there are simply very few charges more universally sympathetic than "my ex-landlord owes me thousands of euro"

The attack in East Sussex comes as Britain sees a wave of protests demonising Muslims and asylum seekers.

The rent scandal is so devastating for Jim Gavin because almost everyone knows what it’s like to be screwed out of money by someone who already has more than them

Set up @dublincomicarts.bsky.social today in The Complex !

I wrote about living with the chronic, debilitating anxiety that made me a "problem child" as kid, about trying to understand what anxiety is an adult, and how I discovered that it might be like prayer johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/line

This is what they've done.

People who use AI think that they’re skipping to the success when they’re skipping to the failure. You begin and end your life as someone who has not written the novel, you did not teach yourself to express what was inside of you, you died without making something that no one else could make.

god this is such bullshit. this is canada, btw. alberta. keep an eye on this shit my dudes. lot of canadians going “at least we’re not like the usa” while stuff like this creeps in at the edges.

Wong was born October 25, 1910 in Taishan, Guangdong. At age 9 his father brought the boy to the US, leaving Wong's mother and sister behind. He would never see them again. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 made immigration a tricky process, and Wong was separated from his father at Angel Island.

The media clearly sees itself as an instrument of law enforcement at times like this—running police statements verbatim and pictures of suspects who haven’t been charged let alone convicted. A manhunt is a propaganda-entertainment event to let people know the law always wins. Don’t believe anything!

None of the 11 people killed in a US military strike on a boat in the Caribbean last week were members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Venezuela’s interior minister has said, while US media reported the attack came after the vessel had turned around and was heading back to shore.

(1,5) I understand gun violence. I visit my daughter at the cemetery because of it. I understand the level of evil and depravity that can cause someone to target others. Since my daughter was murdered in the Parkland school shooting, I have truly hoped for outrage from the right over school

Jeremy Clarkson is worried about violence against himself. But violence against striking workers thats perfectly fine. that workers whose only 'crime' is simply trying to get what they are fairly owed means they deserve to be shoot according to Jeremy Clarkson. But now he's worried about violence.

Just ordered a copy. This looks so good

A lot of people I talk to don’t seem to realize that our entire economy is so deep into betting on the success of AI that the bubble bursting will lead to a devastating crash and recession. If you think things are bad now, just wait. It’s why they are essentially forcing it down our throats.

Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in Rochester, NY, after being confronted by more than 100 protesters The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed

Reminder that feeding your cats raw food at this time is NOT safe. The speed at which cats go from a light fever to dying of pneumonia or neurological symptoms is just a few DAYS. I lost 2 cats to this in March and had around 20k in medical bills to save 2 others who were hospitalized.

Elon Musk is a literal attack on humanity and he belongs in the hague

this is AI evangelism in a nutshell, just flood the zone with as much garbage as possible and if they make a buck off each piece of trash, that's considered success.

I'm doing a mastersss....

"The kids are starving. It's a man-made famine there, and the governments have failed us, so we have to act as a people to break the siege." I got talking to Muhammad from Bahrain about joining the #GlobalSumudFlotilla and what we hope to achieve.

This film was fantastic, thank you Animation Obsessive! Besides the incredible story, art, and production history, also swirling in my mind is the Subcontinental representation, & allusions to looting (rarely discussed in war films) It reminded me of Makoto Shinkai’s Beyond the Clouds (2004) 🫶❤️‍🔥💎🫟
