Who think they are Zapfino.

BTW, this is a great day to close your Disney+ accounts. Yep, Hulu included. ESPN too. They are ok with feeding you IP AI slop (which is different and much worse than their usual IP slop), so best let them know quickly how you really feel about that.

I think if they really dump AI content onto Disney+ they'll find out real quick that NOBODY wants to see that shit. But it's so symbolic of the state of things that the name that once meant the very peak of hand drawn animation is now in league with the stock market scam anti-human garbage machine.

At this point it feels like only a general strike by all creatives could defend against the onslaught of corporate genAI. A last stand.

One might even consider the CD circa turn of the century, when the industry flooded the market with overpriced discs that only contained one song people liked and wanted (but not made available as a CD single).

This is a time in our nation's history that will be remembered for all the broken fools who needed so much attention.

AAAAAAAAH. Esto es una página de los libros de Historia. Resulta que la compania de Arte Artificial que le hace las campañas de Navidad a Coca-Cola publica un "cómo se hizo" falso, con locuciones falsas, bocetos y storyboards falsos... www.linkedin.com/posts/jasonz...

New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

maybe given the current political situation, finding things about which to say “the president has a point” is not only not a good look but actively bad and fucked up? Maybe maybe resist the impulse to say “well I agree with this chump” and find something else to talk about instead?

Matthew Lillard is amazing in Scream. The final act in that movie is elevated by his performance. That's more than enough in my book, yet he's kept on working. Icing on the cake and cherry on top.

Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over. They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

You know how this became utterly predictable and inevitable? When absolutely none of the people responsible for the previous thousand family separations were punished in any way

you would think this would be a daily huge story, the fact that the president has visible dementia. just a thing a reporter could write about

King Sorrow destroyed me and built me back up, oftentimes on the same page. Thank you, @joe-hill.bsky.social, for this fantastic novel.

"Won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation" is now my excuse for opting out of every AI tool

Device…hoarding. Because you don’t go get a new one while yours is still fine. Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.

I'll buy new phones more often if y'all make the process of buying and activating a new phone less excruciating. Last time I had to buy a new phone I was stuck in a phone store for three hours next to a guy who wanted a line-item veto on his whole damn phone plan.

Maybe you think it’s okay to get in here and insult and berate folks who use AI to make “art,” and I’m here to tell you that you’re right. Good job, everyone. Keep it up. Much love.

From oil corporations and climate change to big tobacco and cancer - it seems like every industry that does research into their own field and finds it's bad for humanity work towards burying the truth instead of fixing the problem

It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

I see it's time for "if you're in a thread coming off one of my posts and somebody is being a dick to you, block them, don't get your licks in and block later, don't be a hero and educate them, block them, it is the way, I am begging you not to pollute poor helpless mentions with this, k thx bye"

Friends, this is a low hanging boycott action. Similar to Hulu and Disney+ actions. You can help turn the tide and it will make other platforms think twice. The working class has much more power than they think.

The government has no business spying on court watchers' group chats. Monitoring the courts is First Amendment-protected activity. Period.

FUCK THIS SO MUCH.

The killer Santa star of this movie (Brandon Maggart) is Fiona Apple's Dad.

Hundreds of Americans lost their jobs or faced discipline at work for making comments about Charlie Kirk after his death in September, new reporting from Reuters finds, as the Trump administration whipped up a frenzied crackdown against Kirk’s critics. This is likely a vast undercount.

They stole nine of my books. Nine! But why not Doppelganger? Not good enough for these mass doppelganger machines?

After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care. “Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"

Benadryl's normal dose FUCKS ME UP. Stopped taking it in my teens. Scary shit.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

This edges up to sanctioning genocidal violence against minority groups.

Non-industry compromised scientists keep saying these models don't become safe, no matter what, but people keep thinking just because the concept of guardrails is mentioned it must work. By definition, it doesn't. This is not something open to discussion, unless you're a paid shill.
