Maybe it's just me, but I think that there's far more important things get mad at than people having fun and better things to focus your energy on than getting involved in ultimately pointless hatedoms. You're accomplishing nothing.

And as it often turns out AI is in fact quite bad at replicating critical thinking skills on the human level.

This isn't really surprising when you consider how artists and multimedia creators have been Apple's bread and butter for years. They basically filled the market niche that Commodore originally attempted to do with the Amiga.

Turns out HR departments exist for a reason who would have thunk

Another reminder that what tech bros say about AI is marketing hype. It is not going to replace all these jobs. The only thing it does seem to replace is the critical thinking skills of those who use it.

There's no damage but the winds were that high

Or in genres like Sentai/Power Rangers where people can conjure color coded spandex outfits with wrist mounted devices and have giant transforming robots with giant ass swords

So much of social media feels performative. There's too many people who will say and do anything for clout, grifters gaming the algorithms, and you get the feeling to that so many of these chud channels are astroturfed.

YES! YES!!! Possibly not a single person following me will give a crap about it but when I saw this I literally dropped my phone. If I get married tomorrow it would still only be the second best thing to happen to me this week. Or year. Holy shit.

“Well! No wonder! … Look who’s been loose the whole evening!”

Yes, also the punditry is also ignoring the major wins in 2025, and here in Q1 of 2026 with Primary Season in full swing.

Reminder to be always careful where you get your news from. Random accounts on Twitter and websites that have a sketchy track record or are blatant right-ring propaganda are not credible sources.

Pokopia, which sold just over 2M in less than a week, is a perfect example of a successful single player (with some multiplayer elements) game that didn't chase the live service fad and most likely didn't have the budget of a summer blockbuster like many AAA titles do.

If you're mad when non-political things trend or when people talk about non-political topics, then please log off for a day and touch grass. People need to have fun and escapism and have breaks from being constantly exposed to bad news all the time.

As a long time wrestling fan, I’ve had to avoid that urge so many times 😂

that post gave me the impression that he has never watched pro wrestling. we know that shit's scripted, choreographed, and theatrical. we watch it because it's entertaining as hell. plus, there's pro wrestling fanbases outside the United States too. so what the hell was that dude thinking?

i'm gonna be real with y'all, it took every bit of mental strength i have in me to avoid giving in to the urge to quote dunk on that fool that called pro wrestling fans stupid and gullible. 😂😂😂

Real answer? They get off on pseudo-intellectualism discourse in the comments to important threads.

Hatedoms are not just an easy way to farm likes, but I'm also starting to wonder if they're a way for lazy people to not have to engage in critical thinking or actual media criticism because it's always lazy bad faith criticism you've heard a million times before.

A lot of these pundit articles ignore the two main problems for the GOP right now 1.) The inevitable thermalstatic backlash from all of Trump's broken promises + pissed off Dems 2.) A lot of Trump voters can only be bothered to show up when Trump himself is on the ballot

I am generally curious just what sort of numbers they were originally expecting for Overwatch. I think the problem to me is that the higher ups likely assumed they could just coast entirely off Blizzard's pedigree

I think one of the reasons I have generally preferred TF2 over Overwatch is how TF2 doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not about a bunch of extraordinary people trying to save the world but a bunch of weirdos, freaks, psychos, and misfits trying to kill each other over gravel.

1968. 1980. 2000. 2016. 2024. They don't get the "pure" candidate they want, and refuse to vote for the Democratic nominee. Result: The President the least like the one they wanted, and the one the least like the one we wanted, but exactly the one the capitalists they claim to hate so much wanted.

Sometimes, your burnout has nothing to do with you workload or your stress level or your anxiety or your environment. Sometimes it’s Aunt Red preparing a REALLY hard kick to your womb for being defiant to human breeding.

100%. if you're an artist and you're drawing, for example. human or anthro characters and you just can't get the proportions or poses right, there's nothing wrong with using 3D models. it's not cheating to do so.

Keep pushing back on AI shit. I suspect that most people don't want it in their movies, shows, and games. Or in their software. They're sure as hell not going to pay for slop that someone that plagiarism software crapped out in a few seconds.

It must be incredibly easy to be a YouTube grifter, especially a right-wing one. All you need to do is scream "WoKe!" at everything, convince easy marks that pop culture sucks now because of their bigotry, make shit up, and hate everything new and popular or turn it into a culture war.

So far it's looking like Republicans can see the writing on the wall, they will lose the 2026 midterms and they're freaking out tinyurl.com/4xnaxcrt

It's super funny that Rubio and other Trump cabinet members are so afraid to stand up to him that they're all now wearing shoes that are too big for them. These guys love to project about how tough they are, but they can't even say no to a sundowning pedophile.

That's actually why I like watching MST3K or Rifftrax, because the references requires some sort of media literacy.

Very true. I recommend people actually re-learn media literacy.

Hey Bluesky besties....can you guys stop and take a deep breath. Believe me when I say you have agency over your life...if you don't like what's going on, you go (through the proper way) to change it. Stressing, dooming, and fretting takes a lot more energy.

You are allowed to express your feelings. You are allowed to be sad or happy. You are allowed to cry. It isn't being weak or anything negative, it's being human. It's better getting everything out than keeping the hurt locked inside you. 🩵🫂

Social media has done so much damage media literacy and let's be honest, to media criticism as well. Clickbait, clout chasing, and algorithms deserve a big part of the blame.

Only one person should Doom-anything. FOOLS!

Keep Calm and fight on.

Keep Calm and fight on.

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

One of the best ways for a studio, whether they're indie or one of the big ones, to advertise their show, movie, or game is to outright say that no AI slop was used at any point during production and that it was 100% made by actual humans.

As a general rule, I tend to block accounts with the default profile pic. Especially if they either have no posts or if they're following 1000s of people. It's more than likely they're a bot or a troll account that's not interacting in good faith.

I'm still fuckin' boycotting them. Their shit isn't even cute it's trashy.

Reject doom scrolling, doom posting, and doom searching. Eat something good. Dooming will make you forget to eat, so go eat.

Reject doom scrolling, doom searching and doom posting. Embrace writing erotica (espcially if it's LGBTQIA+ Erotica) and share that with the world. Let the hypocrites blue ball while you have a smile on your face.

The expectations that some (most?) viewers of blind playthroughs of video games seem to have are fascinating to me. It’s like they want the player to experience the game for the first time but also to be perfect at the game and never get stuck? You can’t have both!
