the only thing gatekeeping art is livable wages. which ironically are being gatekept from artists from people who don't want to hire them.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023 people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

lmao I hope Markiplier continues to make and distribute movies entirely independently and his audience is large enough to always put them at #1. Would be so funny to just break the system in this way.

i made a version of wikipedia you can doomscroll xikipedia.org

Some days it just feels like the billionaires are just hoarding wealth, ruling over the government, making people earn just enough to not go hungry to prevent a national strike, biding their time until they can manufacture their own robot armies

Dark Souls - Chained Prisoner

this stuff has really broken me. it's simply astounding that so many people who have been allowed to amass unimaginable wealth are so droolingly stupid, so unmoored from and in fact hostile to any sense of community or social responsibility, and oh by the way they love to constantly rape children

if youre in the EU, you need to contact your MEPs NOW to oppose chat control! you can wag your fingers all you want at USian politics but this shit is at your doorstep too

You all have free range to use this image in response to any transphobia now

Lmao I wonder how all the bros who based literally everything they believe off of things they read on fucking /pol/ are feeling right now.

This is very, very good.

MAGAs getting off the Trump wagon after the Epstein files sound like people joining the resistance in 1946. "I was OK with racism, sexism, ICEstapo, warmonging, billionaires-centered politics, sexual assault accusations, but I draw the line at irrefutable proofs of what I already knew since 2015"

Goblin week, huh? I can't believe the only 2 goblins I have to show were made this year. Long-term goal: making dozens of them.

I really enjoyed Iron Lung! Could have been like 20 minutes shorter, but overall a very strong directorial debut from Markiplier. I was expecting his presence to take me out of the movie, but it never did. Big fan of the game and cosmic horror in general, and I think it does both justice.

the world is run by barely literate pedophiles, the government is kidnapping and murdering in the streets, and my taxes are paying for multiple genocides. and tomorrow, i need to go to work, where i will get written up if i take too long eating lunch

if you're getting into drawing, run away from "influencers" "content" and stuff that elevates tiktok teen drama. "jelly style" "cal arts" "the art community" anything that encourages you to pick a style "category" or label, stuff about stealing style, etc. ok none of that is real or helpful.

ELON MUSK: your island is so freaking like, based. it's seriously like effing amazeballs. i'm going to basically be making like all of mars totally just like the same as how epic this is STEPHEN HAWKING: jeff rey why, did you in vite, this lame, ass nerd

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Iron Lung is playing right now in theaters worldwide. It's been one of the greatest privileges of my life to be part of this journey along with Mark and co, and the result is one of the best things I've ever been part of. I hope you all enjoy it!

Axing Bovino was a PR stunt to snuff a growing flame sparked by Pretti's death. Have a little laugh at Chibi-Hitler, you've earned it, but stay vigilant. Whenever the moderates start to rouse from their slumber, the regime strategically cedes a little ground to put them back to sleep. Stay awake!

They do NOT look like a pickle. Don't tell them that! It was an accident!!!

A character in my #scionrpg game got a baby Anzu (Sumerian mythology) so of course I had to draw the fuzzy kittenchick.

Every once in a while I check in on Doug TenNapel thinking "it couldn't possibly have gotten worse" and I'm proven wrong every time.

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

I will absolutely equate people who use AI with fascists / Nazis / colonizers because their universal base function, their shared core structure of behavioral patterns, is to violate boundaries and thieve attribution in an attempt to escape their own inadequacy. They take, because they can't make.

I don't talk about current events on here much because a) I am frankly not much of a Poster at the best of times and b) most of my current takes boil down to "everyone currently dictating the direction of our civilization needs to be [REDACTED] in the [REDACTED] without delay"
