Happy birthday to Fate/Extra's Nero on December 15!

Tokyo Godfathers is now available to watch on the Criterion Channel ❤️

Trying to explain to my mom that the couple filming the girl walking down the empty hallway towards our room isn't at all suspicious but is instead what every blogger does while on a yrip

WHOOPS oh no this craft brewery has a flight of SEVEN but honestly the hardest part was narrowing it down they're all real good

the term "content creator" served it's purpose very well. conditioning people into seeing everyone as anyone and everything as anything, mostly among the ruling class who found it most convenient for their pockets. in that sense, generating slop is the final result of content creation

hosting a fancy-ass garden party when one of the guests asks me, "What is this duck thing on the cup?" "Elizabeth." "What is Elizabeth?" "Elizabeth is Elizabeth."

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

Mom: what a cool lamp Me, looking up, eyes going wide: yeah....cool....

I’ve been IN A CITY, I’ve only been outside for approximately four hours, I was moving that entire time TELL ME HOW I HAVE THREE BUG BITES ON MY LEGS ALREADY

The hotel gave me flowers and balloons for my birthday so of course the nuis get to celebrate

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

It's kind of wild to keep hearing about the woman who gave birth in a Waymo like it's this positive heartfelt story and not like, we have a serious problem where women and people will hail a rideshare to the hospital because we can't afford ambulances if we don't have the social circle to take us

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

Repost if you're tired

driving into work, someone rear-ended me and then immediately turned the corner and away and it's all I can do to not just turn around and go home (it was thankfully at very low speed and there's no damage, but still, CAN I GET A BREAK)

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.

Every time I see this image I imagine someone to the right, out of shot, with a really big saw.

Reached the "people think you're intimidating so you can't do your job" cycle at work again so I guess I suck and next year is going to suck and I won't get a raise despite our raise basically being a cost of living adjustment

"WE IS BROTHERS" LOLspeak dates from at least 1902! @gretchenmcc.bsky.social

Sometimes people are like "aren't you worried about the kids and their nonsensical new brainrot memes" But like, the thing is, I can still spot a member of my internet generation by how they respond to "badger badger badger badger" Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

none of the ai slop commercials these companies churn out will have even one-tenth of the cultural impact as the folgers incest commercial and i think that's beautiful

Again, apologizing to all videogame environment artists who knocked up satirical posters for their games, I should not have rolled my eyes, yes, even you Cyberpunk billboard team, I am sorry

also at some point last week I stumbled on a library of victorian needlework books so now I have some period knitting patterns for a shawl for dickens fair next year my problem is that to make it really period, I need to add fringe and I HATE FRINGE ON SHAWLS but the victorians loooooooooooooved it

scratches at the walls I wanna go do some book travel, as in go to places that are major settings in some books I've loved

All of this talk about queerness being "unnatural" in the modern landscape and not a single person is pointing out how utterly unnatural it is to rely on something like GPT to perform the natural role a parent has to their child. Fuck off.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

the truth is before gAI we've been using AI scripts to automate repetitive or inefficient tasks just fine for decades, gAI makes those same tasks absolutely impossible or dangerous to do. it basically rendered decades of technology unusable. and it kills the planet and ruins economies as it does it.

an example: the thing that pisses me off so much about people using chatgpt as a search engine is using an algo generator to search for results actively *makes up the results*. a web search is a script that simply collects and indexes existing data directly. there's no middle hallucination step.

AI automation =/= AI generation. the scripts to automatically transcribe voice to text or whether your party character prioritizes Attack or Defense isn't the same as algorithms generating randomized results out of an amalgamation of existing data. conflating them is intentionally misleading.

A quick and dirty way to start sussing this out is to ask yourself, “Is this person really trying to help a group of people or does it look like they’re trying to punish someone right now, in this moment?”

currently the mood rn

Ladies and gentlemen, we did it !!!! 🧨🔥🔥🔥🎇🎇🏳️‍⚧️👨‍❤️‍👨

since we're doing USPS discourse again, a reminder of what Dems should be saying

The following is a statement from the WGA on the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.

lrp I fucking love(d) eurovision, I would make everyone watch it and hold drinking games and such, but I haven't watched it for the past couple years because of this THEY HAVE PRECEDENT FOR NOT ALLOWING GENOCIDAL OR WARMONGERING MEMBERS TO COMPETE, THIS IS BLATANT FAVORITISM

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.

alright, for my weeb friends, some preliminary info for music services qobuz: does not have most idol or "anime" music, but most bands or single artists have Hi-Res tidal: good on most things released after 2010, before that, hit or miss deezer: I can barely stump their selection

as someone who is currently recovering from a head cold that was my body's way of telling me to STOP FOR A FUCKING SECOND YOU CAN'T GET ANY MORE BURNT OUT THAN ASHES (and guess who's still working bc I have to) OOOOOOOOOOOPS

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

Ireland, Spain and the Netherlands to boycott Eurovision 2026 as Israel cleared to compete

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:
