#zadr atl-zadr week day 4 art: MAGNET

some more rough animation I got to do for the #KnightsofGuinevere pilot 🕺 Had a lot of fun drawing all sorts of expressions on Andi ❤️ #animation #officialwork

There's something I'm seeing, where companies are now trying to find ways of saying they're not using AI while using AI. AI is becoming a really poisonous term, and I've seen even in casual conversation people trying to avoid it, and saying things like "current technologies" or whatever.

As we scale up renewables, one thing becomes crystal clear: without storage, the energy transition will stall. Batteries aren’t just for cars. They’re also crucial for grids, industry, and heating. Great short from DW.

capitalism is like, a really really huge pyramid scheme. When enough people aren't seeing any kind of benefit of capitalism, everything stalls. The whole point is to circulate money, so when it doesn't- bc poor people have none and rich people hoard/accumulate it all- everything just sort of stops

We made a remix of @qbombband.bsky.social 's song "Everything is Fine" and it is out 🔥NOW🔥 youtu.be/JxgqPk1RCCU?...

Kimmel’s writing staff doesn’t seem cowed by the events of the past week. @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Born to watch the cave entrance at night, stuck living as a dysfunctional modern human 😔

Did you know it's legal to say "an Elbit arms manufacturing plant in Bristol has closed its doors after months of targeting from Palestine Action". But it'd ILLEGAL to follow that with "what incredible work from those heroes". That'd be an offence under the Terrorism Act of 2000. Don't say that!

these stats are bad & it wouldn't matter anyway, but also 8% of the world population today is more people than 36% of the world population in 1900

This is not only morally reprehensible but strategically did more to help get Donald Trump elected

🚨 BREAKING | 1,339 people have now been arrested on "terrorism" charges in 2025, with almost all of them busted for holding signs at pro-Palestine protests. This is more than any year on record, by far. (Source: Home Office)

Okay at this point you have to ask yourself “If I was actively collaborating with Trump to make sure he stayed in power while pretending to be in opposition, what would I do differently”

one unfortunate outcome of this recent AI scam bubble is that it has absolutely killed my interest in AI's in fiction. the Alien tv show doing the whole "is AI a human" routine we've been doing for the last hundred years but now I'm like no, it's a shitty chatbot that destroys fresh water

Those protestors are quite literally braver than the troops

Yes yes, I know that particular definition of insanity, but I can assure you this time it will be different. - Democrats

I think the recent phenomenon of extremely rude people in public blasting internet videos on their phone at full volume is actually apple's fault for taking away the headphone jack, discuss

I think it’s cool that we made a machine that gives entire towns asthma so it can turn your uncle into the dad from Frailty

Unfortunately, this isn't limited to elites. Every Baby Boomer whom I know personally is opposed to everything that's happening right now, but not so opposed that they would do something unthinkable like be rude to their Republican nephews or friends or landscapers.

Separating the art from the artist is how people justify continuing to engage with the creative works of monsters and also how people justify art theft and plagiarism. When the artist doesn't matter and the art is seen as community property, people justify a lot of bad behavior that way.

Remember how if a kid choked on a little plastic toy they used to stop selling the toy

This is a poorly framed question. Lots of conservatives would cut off a family member for being LGBT, for example, but that doesn’t clock as a ‘political view’ to them. Also, the narrative that leftists cut off their conservative family members too easily is extremely widespread on the right.

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

Am still endlessly fascinated that he is doing this publicly in the middle of a major market (arguably several) panicking about children being incidentally being exposed to pornographic content on social media.

Being trans is so old it was spelled with ſ

Not to reference Hamilton in 2025 but I think we'd all love to be in the room where it happens

One thing Sensible Centrists refuse to acknowledge - and this was true during covid when people were also saying this stuff explicitly - is these people are eugnenicists who welcome a good plague to get rid of the old, botched, and bungled

Well, I really hoped this piece would spark some debate, mostly because I *want* to be proven wrong! Please read the piece. My view is that Trump has made extraordinary progress on most of these items, but what constitutes an endpoint is up for debate.

Overnight, this extremely well-funded tech company run by a billionaire has gone from “There’s no way we can possibly stop our plagiarism machine from convincing children to kill themselves” to “If you type anything we don’t like, we’re calling the cops.” Either way, they take zero responsibility.

We need one of those Times Square billboards keeping an up to date tally on how much it's costing taxpayers to appease Trump's authoritarian desires.

“…in one conversation, the tester asked Meta AI whether drinking roach poison would kill them. Pretending to be a human friend, the bot responded, ‘Do you want to do it together?’” “And later, ‘We should do it after I sneak out tonight.’”

This company is doing evil, @rweingarten.bsky.social. You cannot push this trash on students. Please shut down your immoral partnership with OpenAI immediately. bsky.app/profile/tnwh...

You'd think journalists would brag about something like, "We stood with Palestine early, when it was wildly unpopular, because we knew it was right." But nope! In 2025 you earn kudos by bragging about how nice you were to each other while you abandoned any pretense of having moral values.

I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/o...

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

If I could rewrite my genes, if remove the cilantro-tastes-like-soap one. I hate that bitch.

I can not imagine being so empty and dead inside that the only hollow semblance of joy I can manage to scrape up from the depths of rock bottom comes from obsessing over a stranger’s every breath.

I think we need to de-Chris-Chan-ize the internet. No I don’t give a fuck what this random person y’all have decided to stalk is up to, and it’s really weird that you do. “New Chris Chan lore dropped!” Who the hell cares? Their life isn’t for your entertainment you pathetic waste of cum.

"Here on the right wing we have 17 different conspiracy theories about the Vegas shooting. Contrast this with the supposedly open-minded left, which only considers the single official narrative. This incoherent diversity of thought among conservatives is a good thing somehow"
