IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

it FEELS LIKE. sometimes it FEELS LIKE that would happen. SOMETIMES it FEELS LIKE the flag thing would happen, I said. this is NOT a real example. this is an EXAGGERATION for EMPHASIS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole

Talking to some younger cartoonists who were kind of aghast at how few hours I put into drawing each day, despite my output. But I'm telling you, 4-6 hours of focused work is a million times more productive that 8-10 hours of strained work! Labor quality suffers when you're exhausted!

4 Kinds of Hobby that Everyone Should Have: 1. Something that involves moving your body 2. something that actively engages your brain 3. something passive that uses your hands and eyes 4. something that requires you to go to a location and be around other people

One more thing about hobbies: you NEED a mindless one. Mindless hobbies are the doomscroll killer. You gotta do something that uses both your hands and doesn't require you to think very hard. THAT'S how you stop doomscrolling.

british people have this kind of bizarre british defaultism that nearly rivals american defaultism sometimes. like sometimes it feels like if I made a video about national flags I'd get a bunch of british people saying "oh yeah, I always forget other countries have flags that aren't the Union Jack"

I love how cod's messaging is always "our last game was dogshit!!"

I just published a new video essay where I make the very compelling case that The Amazing Digital Circus is actually the same story as LOST. Hear me out. youtu.be/SDjXup0qr9Q #tadc #amazingdigitalcircus #lost #videoessay

the full force of the state has mobilized to suppress this idea but they cant stop you

if you wish you were a gay woman you should be one

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

MY DADDY AND MY MOMMY AND MY DADDY AND MY MOMMMYYY

finally some good news this week

they should let me on Nebula. that would be funny, I think. Nebula could be THE go-to place on the web if you want to watch five hundred thoughtful and intelligent video essayists and one guy who makes 45-second-long cartoons about little gay people playing board games

is this seat taken #pigeonsky

“In GenAI news, apparently there are people who are angry at the new Pull-The-Ladder-Up 5000. I just don’t understand them. The Pull-The-Ladder-Up 5000 is the future, why don’t they understand that? They can just lift themselves up by their bootstraps, like I did back when I had a ladder.”

When I see an AI summary, I avert my eyes like I walked in on my grandmother changing clothes.

"we here at Big Sam's GenAI Corp™ are pleased to announce the Pull-The-Ladder-Up 5000™, a device which makes pulling the ladder up after you as easy, simple, and frictionless as possible! Never have to look your own kind in the eyes again with the help of the Pull-The-Ladder-Up 5000™!"

Truly Chick with a fat ass is a Scholar.

the funny thing is that some people think of leftist influencers as being these snobby elitists who posture endlessly about their own pompousness when in reality all the most popular leftist influencers have names like KaboomDude and some_chick_with_a_fat_ass_420 and Abby

Next time transphobes call trans healthcare "experimental" you can show them this

"Gender Critical" is the belief that this obviously infinite back and fourth has a conclusion with a definition that actually works how they want it to

oh are we playing ping pong again bsky.app/profile/cart...

bad news: I have discovered trek.epicrandomness.com

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

Finally no longer social media homeless! #doormonster

After 3-4 weeks we finally won the bogus copywrite claim we got on this video. Sorry @paramountpictures.bsky.social try stealing money from people in a different way (or not at all). www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3-b...

lol. lmao

every AI feature YouTube studio adds is not another tool in my toolbox, it's another random useless concrete block I have to step over to GET to my toolbox. why do they keep putting these concrete blocks in my shed. stop doing that

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

One more task for today: call your senators about HR 2616 The "Don't Say Trans" bill literally states it's "defending women from gender ideology." Cis women, I am deputizing you especially. Please make several phone calls to tell them to knock it the fuck off.

This is so disheartening. All Gooseworx did was create a wonderful show that she was passionate about, and the fandom, leakers, and haters had to suck that passion away from her and treat her like dirt. I wish nothing but the best for Gooseworx, and that she can get the peace that she deserves.

idk what happened this time but i do know that we should give gooseworx 10 million dollars and a private security detail for dealing with it

gooseworx deserves so much fucking better it should be just awesome that we have one of our own creating the most popular indie cartoon during the medium's renaissance

You can bulk edit all your videos to turn this off btw!

Try Duckduckgo instead of Google, I've been using it for over a year or so and it's pretty much exactly what you need.

Replacing google search with an ai prompt is so ass like this is only a few steps short of saying "we've replaced the entire DNS with AI. Now, when you type a url into the web browser, you get whichever website the LLM estimates that you wanted to go to"

this is a masterpiece

This brought me joy.

it's not that I prefer optimism in specifically superhero movies and/or sci-fi, it's more that I just kinda prefer my fiction in general to be written by grown-ass adults, and pessimism is for babies

idk how to articulate this exactly but sometimes "you shouldn't say that" means "that will needlessly hurt people's feelings with no benefit" and sometimes "you shouldn't say that" means "that's not harmful or offensive exactly, but if you say it, people will think you're a nazi"

For the record, this proposal specifically targets gender identity. You have until May 22nd to submit a comment

this is a state sponsored children's torture camp

oh I love this little miniseries

Comments like “it’s a 25-year-old game, everyone’s played it” are quick glimpses into the oddities of perception and expectations of others to be similar to themselves.
