So Carney's basically doing austerity anti-DEI stuff all over the place but quietly so normie Canadians think it's "just being practical" without making the links that everything being defunded is stuff to do with looking after and building up diversity rights and democratic society. It's xenophobia

why doesn't batman kill the joker? brother, we here in the real world are surrounded by villains with far higher death counts and you haven't killed any of them.

I'm only allowed the best news for me today, get em bro.

"AI is garbage, bro, it gives you wrong answers like half the time and the other half the time makes you stupid." Overheard a middle schooler chastising a fellow student for suggesting they use AI. Whole middle school herd started mocking the AI kid. ...We need to let these kids at the tech bros.

Remember kids: means testing is for smug busybodies and jackasses who want to waste money punishing people for being poor!

@ajandmagnus.bsky.social for a comic that's done it's best to promote fairness and equality it still is exceptionally dissapointing to see you promoting something that clearly and blatantly announces that it is using generative ai, not only in its music but in its images I hope yall will Cut ties

Drop a hero with a sword!

I'm eating oatmeal for breakfast; this is a shitpost.

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

This doesn't end with him. The people who have failed to do shit until this point won't do shit from this point on.

Tonight's PF2e session - rollercoaster of story and mechanical elements blending together during a giant battlemap sequence. Big shoutout to our GM, @basiliskonline.bsky.social for proactively handling all of it; I'm edge of my seat for our characters' well-being, and I can't wait to play again.

Finally* saw The Mummy Returns last night, feel like that movie was just a really long-winded PSA about negligent parenting. *I know, "24yrs late", but I had already lived through the cultural ethos of "wtf is going on with The Rock in this film, what is this CGI", so in my defense, yeah.

LLMs have no concept of "good." But they are trained to signal high-quality work. Meanwhile, bosses are pressuring workers: go faster, produce more, let the AI cook. Study after study documents what this does to the human brain: cognitive surrender. We're "in the loop" but the bot calls the shots.

fr doing my best here to hear y'all & yell about this more. Gist: Over winter/early spring, seizure med gaps + missed appointments. Bad overall + work hours, bills, etc. Need to be stable for summer prep for fall addictions counseling school & just to live. Older & disabled. Big for me. Help out.

And we're done! Such a fantastic session, much laughter had by all. Thank you everyone for the follows as well! We are so close to the 500 follows on Twitch and we succeeded at our 50 sub goal as well!

Last Hope is launching in about a month! Crazy how time flies! If we reach 300 followers before launch, we might even commission a new character art earlier 👀

Cyberrats in Space Mechs include: Juggler, a creepy clown tank Boomwagon, a fuse-blowing stack of guns Spider, expert in linking up to other mechs Germinator, a tractor that does crowd control and support Predatower a tank that controls the battlefield

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

The Toronto Star did a good one-two punch this morning on Doug Ford's FOI changes. In addition to the article on the bike lane e-mails, here's an article showing other government secrets the FOI changes would have kept under wraps. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

*raising leg while putting on shoes* -oh, now? Didn't make it to walk mode. This stuff acts FAST.

"2g dietary fibre" "2g insoluble fibre" Yes. YES. I'll report back after my walk.

Campaign setting kickstarters like this by white authors need to STOP. Representation of culture, place and people WITHOUT involving the people is gross. If you've involved the people - the need to be at the FOREFRONT. It's THEIR story. youtu.be/bxKhsI-Xsxo

🚨 Bill C-22 forces every Canadian internet provider, messaging app & cloud service to build surveillance backdoors and store a year of your data. Foreign state hackers exploited similar legislation in the US. Shut the backdoor: openmedia.org/StopC22-bsky #BillC22

I can finally share this commission I did last year for Lilac Librarys special edition of A Remedy for Fate by M.A.Kuzniar So shiny. Oooooh aaaaah 🤩✨

All I had put into this overpriced med. Recovering slowly. Need a scan (60 to go) and a neurologist visit (100) next. Every bit helps! Drop tips: ko-fi.com/revcasey https://paypal.me/tpipc (credit/debit option): https://bit.ly/payrev Grab #TTRPG games: www.drivethrurpg.com...#TTRPG #MutualAid

Point of clarification because I've gotten 3 people throw their hats in the ring for this but aren't Black. Unlike last year I am aiming for a mostly Black producing team. Because we can be in front of and behind the scenes everywhere! Prior producing skill NOT required just good/reliable tech

"Artemis II's Outlook Not Good"

The ✏️ sketch for the Niojike map I did for Beyond the Lighthouse by @lalionnepublishing.itch.io You know where this giant sea waterfall is coming from. #CandelaObscura #ttrpg #cartography I'll be posting wips and details in the next weeks.

"From below" is an interesting turn of phrase, considering I'm the demographic the 13th claimed to free, but actively Did Not. The road to hell is always paved with white men's intentions.

Idk where to go at this point. Maybe I'm just done with social media completely.

On this Trans Visibility day, support your trans friends, kick transphobes somewhere unpleasant, and remember that there is no right or wrong way to be trans!

*sigh* Too many of these fuckweasels. What a headache.

This is largely by design. If we stop thinking about AI as simply technology and instead as part of a political and economic program, its chief function become easier to see: namely to erode interpersonal trust so that ultimately we give up on forms of agreement & negotiation arbitrated by people.

Happy #transdayofvisibility friends ! 🖤🏳️‍⚧️ Very proud of how far I came, and despite a chaotic few years, I am incredibly thankful for where I am now — and I am so proud of all of my fellow transes (tm) today I am a trans illustrator who is currently in environmental law ! Check my stuff out ! 🖤

"Touch grass", but I forget the gr.

Take back your freedom ™️ (TY @girbeagly.bsky.social FOR HELPING ME WITH MY STUPID <3 )

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

My drawing tablet background cycling through image files today brings back this oldie.

I hope that people on here can conjure as much energy for the fact that Israel has 'legalized' arbitrary military 'court' death sentences for stone-throwing Palestinian children as they can for indignation at hearing the words "Free Palestine." I truly do.

My phone was always just an excuse for gigabytes of downloaded Calvin and Hobbes comics before this anyway.
