i was able to draw alternative warhammer 40k designs by using google images and looking at images and then i sketched it and drew it- ive not suffered blunt force trauma to the brain yet so i can still draw and imagine without using AI

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss. We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

i dont want ai to do my dishes i want life to not be such a relentless meat grinder that dishes feel like a burden

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

2000: Dotcom crash 2008: Great Recession 2020: COVID crash 2025: Just watching in horror as we sleepwalk into the AI crash "Why do Millennials hate capitalism so much" lol

Every few years I play with the idea of actually posting things I've done artistically online again and then I get cold feet, but I've got a backlog and I might just have to give it a go again

Years ago I made a 'fursona' at the behest of a friend. Don't really consider myself a furry but I fell in love with the guy and Fin went above and beyond with this!

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

As another UN climate conference begins, I'm seeing even fewer Americans than ever talking about climate change, which is what the fossil fuel companies want. News groups are firing climate reporters and that doesn't help. Don't stop bringing this up. It hasn't gone away www.bbc.com/news/live/cw...

Re watched Shin Godzilla for the Halloween season and decided to do a doodle about it

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence” when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

Despite it all, I got to go to Son of Monsterpalooza yesterday and for a brief time the 14 year old version of me, obsessed with monsters and practical effects, was revived.

Real successive good jokes in such a short clip

I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

Been in a rut again, been a frustrating year and I'm trying to figure out what to do about it. I know I need to start sharing the things I'm working on more but I haven't enjoyed social media since 2012. At least I've got some Wasteland Weekend photos I'll post soon

He may play a CREEP but Mark Duplass is a stand-up guy, as Duplass Brothers Productions is teaming up with the Transgender Film Center to launch the Found Footage Fund for trans filmmakers.

I used to work at Sundance Film Festival. I grew up in Utah and it was a big reason why I fell in love with film in the first place. Been a year of losing decent people I fear. Rest easy Robert Redford

As a mortality researcher, I haven’t generally paid a lot of attention to people my own age (elder Millennial here). That’s, unfortunately, changing. (With @astokespop.bsky.social and Jacob Bor)

Philosophy Tube does not and will not use AI at any stage of production; it’s a show made by humans, intended for humans, and crowdfunded by humans 🤖🔨

To be clear on what they're proposing: human beings using water for drinking, washing, and growing crops will be rationed. The AI datacenters will have all the water they can contaminate.

Really proud of this piece,,, it’s something I’ve never done before and out some really TIME and thought into something real important. www.newsweek.com/2025/07/18/f...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

Ten babies!

We are not a distraction we are real people facing real existential threats

NEW: The CBP confirmed to @404media.co that it has been flying Predator drones over LA amid the protests. These Predator B drones are military-caliber UAVs used for aerial reconnaissance that can be armed. It further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters. More here:
