Final Fantasy creator, Hironobu Sakaguchi, responded to the backlash he got after tweeting in praise of AI slop...with more AI slop. https://kotaku.com/hironobu-sakaguchi-shares-his-surprise-at-everyone-hating-on-final-fantasy-6-remake-ai-slop-2000697526

This is a good time to mention that we're so glad for our following here on Bluesky, and also grateful that Bluesky doesn't suppress links. Bsky represents a whopping 48% of our website traffic from social media. We're all writers & you guys make it possible for us to keep writing like it's 1999.

This video is now more accurate since I had to see this happen in some Discord server. youtu.be/FlsQkJdHkKI?...

knock knock it's mantis

Like... this tech only exists to scam. What actual productive reason would you need this horseshit other than digital blackface?

Not only did two neo nazi teens attempt to copycat the Christchurch mass shooting, the world's richest man falsely blamed trans people for it. Not a single outlet covered that he spread that disinformation.

life is at least a little beautiful idk

i was rewatching peak (palutena's revolting dinner)

I think it was the showrunner of Gravity Falls who said the greatest sins of the internet happened when you started treating fictional characters as real people, and real people as fictional characters

ah yes i can’t wait to get answers that are ai generated and far more intelligent than before

"OMG DID YOU SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ON TWITTER????" ...You're still on the nazi pedophile app?

An example of how the term LGBTQ gets used in establishment media to flatten and obscure. Frank was notoriously hostile to trans rights, and wasn't particularly keen on queer communities broadly outside a swath of gentry white cis gays. The main trail he blazed was for his own power.

at the station

still thinking about this

this is what some of you look like in short sleeve button-up shirts

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

grogu has been caught and compromised to a permanent end

Sukeban Deka really amped up the action in the middle. Just went nuts at this part. Even before he was Master Kaku in Dairanger, he was still kicking ass!

Sukeban Deka update. This episode goes to a rock quarry with bike action and ends with the protagonist falling down into a river. This really is a toku.

The Cell Saga

Playboy created a Bluesky account and their first post is to complain about AI. They already understand the Bluesky userbase better than the bluesky devs

i genuinely don’t know if we’ve seen a more corrupt administration and president in history

Life has the weirdest turns sometimes. #va11halla

Ever fucking green

It's a small thing but if you're like me and unthinkingly default to the google search bar remember that you can change the default search engine on new tabs in Firefox etc Fuck Google's AI enshittification of everything

Stop using google to search! I haven't used it for years now (mostly duck duck go with the AI turned off) you don't need google anymore.

the fuck it will

Kickstarter has reverted their policy changes on Adult Content! They issued an apology, siting Stripe as the reason. The pressure we put on them worked. This is a step in the right direction. But the threat of Stripe remains. It’d be great to see KS end ties with them & process payments elsewhere.

"I need AI art, otherwise I can't make my project." Randy Savage cut a promo with nothing but a coffee creamer he swiped from craft services. Stop making excuses and do better.

I appreciate KS surfacing just how much of this friction and censorship is due to payment processors and I wish more companies would put this stake in the ground rather than screwing over artists. If every company did this, payment processors would have to buckle.

this is a masterpiece

Lonely people on the internet when they see an animated girl with a butt:

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

lol any way 💅

PSA because I'm tired of this 🧵

When I was fresh out of college, I had no connections and nothing but a dream. I co-wrote an indie animated spec. Somehow, we got it to Tom. He voiced our main character for free. “Putting good into the world has a habit of coming back around,” he said. RIP Tom Kane. Thank you, truly.
