"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it" My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

This made me snort so now you have to see it

For those unaware, "bean mouths" are a term linked to a term called "CalArts style," which has actually NO connection to CalArts graduates and was coined by former animator and rapist John K. to criticize artists who opted to Disney's style. And NOBODY really knows how they got connected.

For years people have been asking me why I can't "separate the art from the artist" when it comes to Harry Potter, and Princess Weekes perfectly illustrates how intrinsically tied Rowling's fucked-up ideology is to EVERYTHING SHE'S MADE. Highly recommend watching this video!

Capitalism yearns to create the "apolitical consumer"; one with no principles, no morals, no red line that they won't cross, no issue too big for them to ignore. We should commend all media that pierces this veil, because the veil is dangerous and lets fascism creep into every facet of our lives.

KEEP CREATING! That’s what they don’t want. Art. Poetry. Songs. Theater. The arts are the most accessible way to reach the people and to vent your own feelings and thoughts on current events. That’s why the arts are ALWAYS the first to get defunded. Please please keep creating! The world needs it! ❤️

I think wars are bad and killing is bad but what do I know I’m just a silly little artist.

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

Got back from a cruise on the Disney Treasure about a week ago. It was a lot of fun!

One thing that really stuck out for me was the quote at the end about being how being unique makes you feel alone. I think that's what the movie should have ultimately been about. And it's kind of ironic bc nobody seems to share my sentiments and that makes ME feel alone lol.

I saw Elio yesterday, and while it was a beautifully animated movie with some cool characters I felt it was a little... jumbled? Like there were several different plots kind of interspersed throughout the film and they never got the full attention they needed. Does anyone else feel that way?

every single day it genuinely feels like waking up is an act of rebellion. every day feels like too much. i don’t have energy for convo, but please try to remember your humanity with every decision, every interaction going forward—remember your strength, maintain clarity.

Please, take a moment to just breath. Put down the phone, turn off the computer, even for just 5 minutes and just do nothing. The world is full of terrible news right now but its important that you also take care of yourself. Take a break if you have to.

I've had actual arguments with people about "Separating art from the artist." There's no separating this. Like Idk what to tell you, but trans people should be more important to you than like dobby the elf or whatever

ok its offical if i see you playing any harry potter games im fucking blocking you

Target FORGOT TO WRITE COPY for their pride line this year i’m obsessed with how much big box stores dgaf and have stopped pretending to

I can’t really explain it but the lack of color in contemporary movies, the need for realism, ai being pushed as art and people accepting it as art, mainstream movies/stories becoming very on the nose and surface level, and the rise of fascism, are all related

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is unironically one of the best popular narratives about the way privatization of public services destroys local community

If that’s all it takes, then it deserves to be killed. You… really can’t hire artists or writers to willingly train programs? Sounds like a you problem. But hey, I guess a politician from the UK would be pretty knowledgeable about repurposing art without permission.

Would be nice if we were also arresting the people doing these illegal things rather than simply telling them to put stuff back.

The rise of AI and dumbass people LEAPING at the chance to use it to avoid having to think ever has made me want to go out of my way to use my brain and learn more than anything else has on this entire planet. Fuck AI and fuck people who use AI. USE YOUR OWN BRAINS.

Remember when she funded an anti trans bill, then when it passed, posted a picture of herself with wine and cigars and bragged ‘I love it when a plan comes together?’ That is literally where that money for these games go. Buying her trash, funds anti LGBTQ+ laws.

An underrated fandom experience is having a friend you can privately complain about your least favorite ships or headcanons with so you can have your petty bitch time without ever insulting or offending anyone in the fandom, and I think more people need to learn to do this

Amen

She is so real for that

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

“The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there's no place for it in the endeavor of science.” - Carl Sagan

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

This. And don’t say “but it’s more complicated than that”, because people should never vote to hurt the people they love. See? Not that complicated. #NeverVoteConservative

Autistic person: Has a mentally crippling reaction to something. Is in full blown distress. Person who doesn't understand autism: "Why are you overreacting? It's not a big deal. Just get over it." Autistic person: Is invalidated and still in full blown distress.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will: MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR. The measles surge in the southwest is now the SINGLE LARGEST OUTBREAK since 2000 and the United States is now at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Call your reps and tell them to shut down Trump's proposal here. If he destroys the USPS, he destroys the business of every independent comics creator you love - every independent store, every crowdfunder. All to shovel our money into the maws of billionaires. NO. Find your reps here: reps.fyi

[Shares 💖] With all the tariffs, delays, and shipping fee hikes, artists like me are struggling. I HAVE NOT RAISED PRICES, and don’t plan to do so anytime soon. All purchases will help me stay afloat! Thank you! U.S./Canada: jupypoopy.bigcartel.com International: www.etsy.com/shop/jupypoopy

Hey you know how people made the Tesla brand radioactively toxic and crashed its entire corporate structure? You can do that with authoritarian brutality and with neoliberal oppression and exploitation. You chase these motherfuckers from society until all that’s left is something real and better.

Generative AI is melting our only planet. Don’t use it. ChatGPT wastes 10x the amount of water as Google. And last year, Google was in talks to purchase 8 nuclear reactors in order to power their own AI. This is not sustainable. Stop using it today. It’s literal Earth Day.

Nope. Don't like that.

wtf is an "AI companion"?? just get a tamagotchi like a grown up

In the context of what RFK has previously said about putting neurodivergent people in camps, this is very, very alarming.
