ok but does anybody else think that everything that happened after charlie kirk’s death was one of the most bizarre internet-to-meatspace phenomena

what is even the point of discord bruh

some white people learn that living in a white supremacist society makes them inherently prejudiced through no personal fault of their own and then their prefrontal cortex collapses into a singularity

for anyone that’s wondering what my first painting of the year is gonna look like, dont worry im wondering that myself

gacha games will spend the equivalent of a small nation’s GDP on tons of promo art, tie-in merch, a cinematic universe, a pre-order bundle where the hottest character on the splash page gives you a handjob all for the gameplay experience to be, “what if you could jerk off while playing Bejeweled?”

in any software create a new layer, fill it with a neutral grey then set that layer to Saturation. easy and quick way to check values while painting

Not to be that guy but hosting the base furry stereotype as "well off person in tech" is a good way to center it's whitest most upper middle class part And yank the spotlight off the creative lifeblood of the fandom, which is heavily latin, black, indigenous and working class/poor

i feel like one of the biggest drivers of these attacks against trans and queer people and the “panic” around porn and displays of sexuality is the fact that people in power are aware that their legitimate perversions are reviled by most in our contemporary society

in an Everything is Gig Economy society where Hobbies Must be Monetized, being bad at art loses you money. this is probably the only perspective i can understand why some people reply with the “gatekeeping art” rebuttal

fuck it. ping pong movie 50x speed

epic reminder that ID verification laws, “protecting the children” and movements of that vein are an astroturfing move by the Epstein class to deflect from their own pedophilia

Tried to email Discord about my feedback but they just hit me with an automated "sowwy, we don't accept support emails, use our form 🥺" response, so I'll save you some time and tell you to just use their in-house support form support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req...

if i know discord for anything is that they can and will pussy out if people bully them enough for something. get fucking loud about this

some part of me is lowkey hoping that the halftime shows continue this trend of weaving elements of storytelling and cultural lore in between music and set pieces

LECLERC DONT LOOK UP FANART OF ARCANINE ONLINE LECLERCCCCCCCCCCCC

its really funny living in a time where art is both a bygone phenomenon in the face of Content and Media and a force so powerful that governments and tech overlords are doing everything in their power to bend it to their whims while trying to diminish human artists

LECLERC DONT LOOK UP FANART OF ARCANINE ONLINE LECLERCCCCCCCCCCCC

If you were hoping for some sort of overt political statement: see the literal plantation Benito created to perform in.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

if nothing else, the super bowl halftime show is 2 for 2 on making the worst, most insufferable people in this country mad and miserable so i at least appreciate that

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

its very telling that Ms. Hart sees writing, a creative endeavor at its core, as a race to generate a multiwhatevernumber dollar franchise

if you see someone posting "I CANT BELIEVE IT, HOLY SHIT" or "THIS IS UN-FUCKING REAL" later this afternoon know with confidence it's either someone watching "the big game" or more evidence of elite wrongdoing uncovered in the unending global pedophile trafficking scandal

AI prompters are artists in the same way that my piss is the ocean

AI bros constantly going back and forth on the "this took effort" and "this makes art so easy"

“so you end up into this ai art junk because you “want to do art” but you don’t. you don’t. you don’t. or you would. because you can. and you know that, right? or maybe not? because people only ever told you that artistic talent is an amazing rare gift? but artists don’t say that”

i absolutely hate how ai image generators have capitalized on the non-artist notion that overly detailed and realistic = good art

idk about anywhere else, but from what ive seen here AI bros lost the PR campaign so long ago and so hard that its even starting to negatively affect people’s perception of what is handmade and what is GenAI output

im ngl, ai generated art bros (specifically ai genned furry art bros) half give off actual malice and a severe inferiority complex compared to the artists they steal from. it feels like they want the praise and admiration but with none of the work or skill involved

artstation and its consequences have been a disaster

honestly, a lot of non-artists still seem mystified by the artistic process which is why ai TTIs appeal to them, cuz in their eyes it “democratizes” the artistic process not knowing that it came free with their humanity and just needs practice

this i feel could explain the early drive of ai genned artworks. non-artists being pushed this misconception that art is made quickly and never worked and reworked in the process, just with the added benefit of made with stolen assets and consuming the energy usage of a small country

by far the stupidest pro-AI argument ive ever heard is that digital art is under the umbrella of AI when i paint digitally, my computer FACILITATES the work, it does NOT replace the creative process

im starting to believe that techbros realized that it would be tougher to advertise that AI can replace mundane tasks or have less of a return on investment than saying that AI can do things that are actually fulfilling like making artwork

companies slapping AI software labels onto everything just reminds me of when companies were slapping the 4k label onto consumer products regardless of actual 4k ability

they even gave him the sultry smirk 😭

really is a recession indicator when you get a letter from your job telling you not to have too much fun during the super bowl cuz of too many people calling off the day after

this new essay by @thetolerantweft.bsky.social on Epstein’s art collection is my fav thing i’ve read in a whiiile
