One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

I know this is like, “eww squick” it wouldn’t hurt me, but this basically bans the first episode of Game of Thrones, a significant amount of Greek mythology, and every open fanfiction website on the planet. And I wouldn’t trust an authoritarian govt with “nuance” about what is art and what is porn.

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride

I will say that the number of games in Next Fest that have AI disclosures that are admissions of using it for embarrassingly simple stuff is entirely too high Like I expect games chock full of AI to be like "Yeah it's AI; deal with it." But like... promo art? Icons? Come on, people.

"This game was made 100% by human hands, except for all the little 16x16 icons because i dun wanna" "This game is a hand crafted labor of love, but I couldn't commission an artist for the key art so I just asked AI to slop out some junk to market my title with."

CRACKING OPEN A COLD ONE WITH THE GIRLS THATS RIIIIGHT

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

I just checked -- this seemed to be on by default for me, and there were a bunch of older art files in my recycle bin as a result... really cool stuff, windows, especially after those files were painstakingly recovered after a fucking wildfire roasted my last hard drive

There's a witch-themed cafe that just opened up in LA and I swear every trans person within a 10 mile radius is in here 😂 We're being targeted (in a good way)

"Urza created a robot with a truly human amount of father issues. His creation, Karn, later went on to create his own robot with father issues, and was enslaved by a whole species of robots with father issues. Tragically, none of them could build a dad robot, as fathers hadn't been invented yet."

I do not regret to inform you that dudes rock

Friend just sent me this and what do you MEAN FFXV WAS 10 YEARS AGO

Breaking: The Olympic gold-winning U.S. women's hockey team DECLINES Trump's invitation to his State of the Union address after he was caught on video mocking them.

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

Congratulations everyone

A panel from dungeon meshi that changed my life

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Professor, you have done it. You have made a joke lovingly crafted and targeted at me and only me and I feel DO special today!

"It's an overreaction to refuse to travel to the US, you'll be fine" Last time I went out a similar story dropped *as I was on the way to the airport*. If it can happen to a nana it can happen to anyone.

Oh boy, as a trans person, if this doesn't hit home right now

sometimes you see a thing and it's the most kobold shaped thing that ever lived

Humiliated in the media, denied healthcare, attacked by the human rights watchdog, shut out by the Supreme Court, bullied by social services and the police, disadvantaged in the jobs market, death figures covered up by the State, harassment de facto legalised, and attackers deified by Ministers.

“But wehhh, I have to use AI to make my storyyy” I just dropped a 60-page Garfield manga featuring all 118 current periodic table elements, which I researched individually for each design. AI’s NEVER going to give you that and I require way less water

PSA for Discord's new age verification! If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it. Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+ It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

Colorblind caveman when the tribe tells him about nature:

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

I really have to wonder why any company even bothers with GAAS if they're unwilling to properly give them time? Stuff like 2XKO, Highguard, Concord etc - regardless of how you feel about them, killing them off or downsizing the teams just 2-3 weeks after a game releases is insane to me.

Don't verify. Don't give them anything.

Congress is pushing through bills that could exclude millions of eligible U.S. citizens from voting. Call your Senator now and demand they vote NO on any bill that makes it harder for us to vote.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

Whole Foods AI stores were entirely Indians watching on video feeds and ringing you up. Waymos have live human support partially driving them. And the AI that has “Hollywood shaking in its boots” is…stock footage. With face replacement. Yeah. We are sooooooo cooked, AI bros. Call me when it works.

2026 basically

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state
