I'm fried but the good folks of @dotmeow.org are still streamin. Go and pop on by, funny people talkin about everything from lactation to workplace organizing to network infrastructure. if you got a few bucks consider backing their kickstarter. We can make a better internet together.

Hey just to remind everyone, my Commissions are WIDE OPEN. I currently only have 3 and I plan on finishing them ASAP and I could always use more to pay bills. Hit me up on Discord for an estimate on a commission!

Hey gang, just to remind you that I firmly hate Bluesky's DM system because not only does it suck for getting images across for reference and information(IE, It fucking just doesn't), but also theres a 90% chance I just won't see your com messages appear on my feed. Please message me on Discord.

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

I won't ask how you feel about movies released in 2001 being considered classics. I already know.

“Samsung’s QD-OLED panel itself is phenomenal, if nothing special in 2026. The problem is the software. I would pay Samsung $100, right now, for this “smart” TV to be as dumb as the ones I grew up with. ”

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

For those of you who were keeping up with the mass market mess, here is a more informative article. Trade paperbacks cost only 30c more to make and are priced $18-20 now, where mass market paperbacks didn't sell at $12. So... there's your answer. It's about margins. boingboing.net/2026/02/10/t...

✨ Evening viewing recommendation? On the Criterion Channel, watch the exclusive streaming premiere of Neo Sora's unmissable new film HAPPYEND — a mesmerizing vision of resistance, rebellion, and the irrepressible spirit of youth. ✨

Sometimes, as a joke, people will call normal political shit bullying - but, like, mailing your reps and threatening to not vote for them? That's not bullying, that's just normal civic engagement. bullying and harassment, even against bad people, is bad for you, as a person, it makes your brain bad

I love seeing people embrace forums, webrings, RSS and the indie web lately as the only way we're gonna escape enshittification Who wants to get an account and start posting in fandom comms on dreamwidth? Has anyone built a modern livejournal thing yet? We had this all figured out once 🤔

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

anyways, don't get off discord yet; not because this isn't heinous but because we're currently in the post-horror scramble to find alternatives. give things a second to settle down so you can find out which ones suck and which ones don't. instead, cancel your nitro, yell at discord, and plan.

Feeling down and heavily brain fogged, so here's a doodle I finished of them making out in a lake. #fryr_au

you know, laying off staff in the middle of a war zone while enduring a ukraine winter without power makes laying off ppl during the holidays look downright humanitarian. billionaires shouldn’t exist.

please remember: part of why anti-ICE movements across the country are able to function as well as they are is because they are able to get the news out and get support via the internet therefore, doing your part to pressure your reps to defend internet speech is one (of many) ways to help!

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Yep

I don't think any other film in history went from such a despised bomb upon release, then later been heralded as one of the greatest movies of its genre ever made? Anyway, THE THING rules.

your periodic reminder to NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING THROUGH AN APP unless it's literally impossible not to. The app store takes a cut, so the app charges a higher price for the subscription AND ISN'T ALLOWED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE MARKUP www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3D_...

Hello, Ben and I just talked for an hour about books and reading and we had a great ol time

this is completely insane and more people need to say that doing this is completely insane

Still got a few slots left! 👀👀

Minneapolis is the capital of the U.S. right now. Random middle aged aunties on the ground there are showing more physical and moral courage in one volunteer shift than Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have in their entire lives combined.

This is also connected to that whole thing where all their fantasies of protecting their own *family* centers on enacting violence and not, like, vaccinating their kids and making sure they're prepared for a power outage etc. Even people they know, they only think of in terms of violence.

Please keep calling your reps to demand they oppose KOSA and other internet censorship bills!

it’s so cool that the only use case for ai is to distort everyones perception of reality. this needs to be heavily regulated immediately, especially when a government can do this

Added it to Chrome and can verify it works, thank god

Holy fucking shit this is awesome use this now cybernews.com/security/dev...

Paypal's only purpose is to transfer money. It is not for comments even though it has a space for it. It is not for reviews even though it asks you to. It is not a notebook, even though you need to remember what payments were for. Do not speak through it. Do not write on it. Pay in silence.

Trade for Itymnro

Hey, this is fucking bullshit.
