good day to post this reminder

THEY HAD THE “NO TAKE ONLY THROW” DOG MEME SIX THOUSAND YEARS AGO

OH MY GOD!! OG MY GOD!!!

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

happy black history month to Ken sample, thank u for inventing the fursona.

Built in 1900, the former Everard’s Printing Works on Broad Street is one of the few (and easily most magnificent) examples of art nouveau architecture in Bristol The female figure at the top represents light and truth.

San Jose Batman is an amazing advocate for the houseless in the bay area, and if you want to know more about him, there is a documentary about him and his work.

..... ok yes this whole thread is magnificent.

it is impossible to miss the difference between the names you see in newspaper headlines and the names you don't see in newspaper headlines

In a world of AI slop shortcuts in gaming, I am reminded that for The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa, the developer's 60 year old father learned pixelart in MSPaint to help make the game If it matters enough to you, you can always learn too, even at 60

i can't believe this is working

I am finally getting over my two week long new year awful sickness (hopefully) and now I am well enough to feel sad again. Time to make like Kars stop thinking.

Don't forget he's on the board of directors at StabilityAI. I appreciate the fact people have different ideas on what the best way to fight and influence a threat like this, and that he's on record saying we shouldn't replace talent and actors with AI, but he's also on record saying stuff like this:

Not going back to Spotify bc the only reason they aren’t running ICE ads is because the campaign ended. Meaning if the government did another campaign, Spotify has no issue putting the ads back on. Continue cancel Spotify.

the blue people avatar movies now having a white kid in dreadlocks just sort of hanging around the blue aliens is certainly communicating something politically, but I don't think anyone involved in creative decision making on these movies could say WHAT it communicates with any self awareness

the aliens think he's weirder than the guy possessing a lab-grown half-human hybrid body which is... certainly something.

There are so many plot points in the second one that just hammer home how fucked up this entire premise is. What do you mean Blue Child Sigourney Weaver was born from the unconscious clone body Human Adult Sigourney Weaver piloted?? Nobody knows how it got pregnant????

They can resurrect marines but only by putting them in cloned blue people bodies. They don't clone human bodies to use as commodities in this way. Mysteriously.

Oh fuck you dropout

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

Morpheus ornament for my work desk guiding all I do

Any similarities to the United States government are most likely completely intentional.

This is why I love Hellboy.

14 hours. 7 works $5 More than 80% off All fantasy All queer New trilogy Witches Loving Werewolves And the best part is that it makes me, arguably the smallest lesbian, even smaller with every purchase (cursed by witch)

i have a pixel art program now, so i can be annoying in smol

Crunchyroll having bad AI captions for Gundam despite actual legitimate captions existing is so wild. They don’t have to use these!! They’re putting in more effort to make their product worse!!

We as a society did Ahmed Best so fuckin dirty, man.

"Aesir" meant "Gods from Asia" to Snorri Sturluson, 13c Icelander who recorded everything we have today about 'norse viking epic sagas'. 18c "Sweden's 1st modern historian" Sven Lagerbring claimed Aesir are Turkish, image of Odin Sleipnir influenced by Attila the Hun. Orientalism IS their origin!

1890's Irish Druids book on their Eastern origins mentions they eight winds of eight colors, must be where Warhammer Fantasy gets it. A "purple wind from the East" also occurs with ancient Chinese Daoist idiom.

Someone posted a mini of Absolom Daak Dalek killer, and I flashed back to the 80s(?) when Doctor Who expanded universe had a bit of a 40k esk thing happening. A murderer sentenced to death has a choice. Execution, or go out fighting Daleks.

When the clock strikes midnight on January 1, creative works from 1930 & sound recordings from 1925 will enter the public domain in the US, like: 💄 Dizzy Dishes, first Betty Boop cartoon 🕵️♀️ First 4 Nancy Drew novels 🚂 The Little Engine That Could 🎩 Morocco 🍑 Georgia on My Mind and many more! 🧵👇

Welp there goes all my excitement for Dark Heresy. You fuckers

LETS GO

wait wait hold the fucking phone they canceled pride celebration stuff and at the same time collabed with rowling? that's so fucking on the nose jesus christ

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

Look. Fuck Intermarche. But they didn't make that animation. Illogic Studios did. They made the good boy. They told the story. They didn't agree to anything with some dumbass A.I. company. Intermarche can eat shit, but the wolf? He's still cool. www.illogicstudios.com

if AI is a hardline no for you, as it is for many of us, you gotta start getting into truly independent shit or simply accept the slop. i don't think AI is "inevitable" but i do think the tech-adjacent games industry is currently and in the near future saturated with it

On the upside, in Firefox you can still turn off all their AI features by going to "about:config" and turning off everything that has ".ml." in its name.
