Cis writers’ trans characters: “This is Lyrica Womanheart, her power is she has no definable personality beyond serving as a gravitational center for word boxes that vaguely gesture at discrimination and she SUPER strong.” Trans writers’: “This is Debby and she’s a bitch. I’m gonna torture her.”

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

Maybe others will disagree, but Having seen the show, I would argue Academy doesn’t run away from queerness. Jet Reno overtly talks about being a lesbian (& has a relationship I won’t spoil). And the Klingon characters sexuality it’s not overly stated but the show makes it quite obvious by ep5.

I'm making more cows today. :3 Hopefully their horns are not wonky like this old one's were!

will you people please flag that fucking video as graphic content.

EMERGENCY! Today is the last day for us to save our housing for January! We still have one more day of sending out the memoir (digitally) before we're done. But we need to sell 14 more digital bundles at tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com by the end of the day so we can keep a roof over our head.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to stop talking about art because of fascism.

He also tried to gaslight that people misunderstood what he said and said that they would still be looking into using AI tools across the company, so please read everything that he said and don't take this as a blanket "win"

The world is fucking preposterous right now. Don't feel bad if you need to gorge yourself on tacos, vanish into shallow pop culture fantasy, fuck like a rabbit, get high till you laugh at the carpet, have a good, long lie down, cry in the shower, or anything else. We all earned it.

Keith Porter was also murdered by ICE and his family needs your generosity and support right now, too. We take care of us has no borders

DANCE OF THE FIRE GOD

AI users, after it falls out of favor and collapses, will then be competing for jobs with people who *didnt* forfeit years of skill development. People who were our peers in 2020 will essentially have fallen 6-7 years behind.

Do you ever think "I should do a craft with Barbies!" and then next thing you know you're using pi to calculate something called an "inner stringer"? 🥲 Yeah, me neither. Watch the whole Dream House medieval makeover on YouTube: youtu.be/mwDfsxUSiVE

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼 www.theverge.com/news/859309/...

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

"Go Pro Strap-On" needs to be a band name, or the title of a Song of the Summer

After making a dragon fight Cthlhusaurus Rex, I have been doing a more serious project in DAZ Studio and/or Hexagon last night/today. I'm trying to build a cool-looking hyperspace tunnel! I keep feeling like it would be a lot easier in Blender, tbh. But I am getting the hang of materials/textures!

men love to ask zero questions on a first date, talking exclusively about themself, then wonder why they don't get further dates

can we keep this in rotation and get dolly some food today please?

Let it never be said that I lack class: this time in '23, I told you all what's so hot about being groped up against a shed.

It's a new year, and I am begging y'all to put captions on your streams. Don't know how? I got you. Here's a thread of captioning options for your streams. With the exception of Meld that does not have a caption plug in (yet). These should work on other stream software.

free feet!? in this economy!?

they didn't even do that. grok just said it did.

So instead of fixing the problem, they instead just made it so only those with disposable income can access the CP generator. Seems worse…

if it took "oh god, they could come after someone like me" to finally get you to a place of action, welcome you are going to be asked to sit with that and reflect, and that's okay! it shouldn't offend you. it should motivate you to expand your analysis on other current events as well. that's good!

me getting fucked in my ass:

"No fucking AI assets" - a reminder that many good publishers that will disqualify any prototype with genAI placeholders, and that using it is at your own peril. Hooded Horse happens to be one of the best publishers out there at the moment, so this is a big one. kotaku.com/hooded-horse...

Teletext/Ceefax on analogue TV. And the fact that every night before closing down, TV channels would just show random pages from their teletext. And sometimes, they'd do that for an hour or two mid-morning, too.

Need a favour: does anybody here speak/read simplified Chinese at a good level? After someone to look at a draft translation for a SoulMuppet game and let me know if they think its a good reflection of the original text!

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Your occasional reminder to back up your personal art stuff on more than one hard drive because it sucks missing or losing things you thought were still on your machine.

Reminder: fuck FrostyTools.

Imagining MAGA thirty years hurling their NES controllers at the wall when they completed Metroid.

Oh, this look amazing! store.steampowered.com/app/4285930/... Not only it's a RPG set in modern-day India, exploring their folklore & myths, it's also made by a team of Indians who have a channel of animated videos on Asian history: www.youtube.com/channel/UCpZ...

Prime example is Margaret Hodge MP, who spent years roaring into cameras about the hideous political bullying and hate that she was subjected to, and then finally produced a dossier of… anonymous Twitter dorks calling her an asshole, a thing that happens to footballers and video game actors.

Posting again because, why not? 😏

Oh phew, I'm sure the people who would pay a nazi freak money every month for a blue tick would NEVER use Grok for bad stuff.

and the fact that it wasn’t pulled immediately after the grok CSAM incident says everything you need to know about the way “protecting children” is used as a justification for anything else. it’s never really about that at all. it’s all just power & capital.

7pm: “Ugg I didn’t get any writing today done. I feel like a horrid failure. I’m gonna self care, build legos & listen to my Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook.” 7:15pm: just opened legos: “oh shit, I had an idea, I’ll jot it down!” 11pm: “fuck did I just write 4000 words?” Repeat the next day.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.
