People making useful content were forced to make the content less useful to conform to constantly changing demands from search companies. The result? Audiences hated this, creating demand for AI "summaries" which trim out the SEO crap... and make the content even less useful by introducing errors.

bibliophiles have made an entire aesthetic of the "undread bookpile" and yet when it comes to independent creators, usually ones too "other" for traditional publishing, asking for small sums for epubs or patreon subscriptions, they are maligned as petit bourgeois. at least get a library card!

Woah! Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you. If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position. The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI

Isn't it so weird to deeply know in your bones something obvious with no equivocation, for years and years, and then to one day see articles about people wondering if maybe the incredibly obvious thing you've known this whole time might be happening, as if the media is discovering it now??

Caelan Conrad has completely stolen the mantle from the youtube skeptic community and they're a criminally under-subbed creator you should check out if you like deep scientific debunking of things like conversion therapy youtu.be/g1lg8ixkN8w?...

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once: — Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — Against raising the minimum wage — Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

🌊The Angler's Bride🐟 'I will love. Thrive. And never forgive.' A preview of my piece for Villainess, an artbook from @novamali.bsky.social & @damesprod.bsky.social with 60+ artists, each illustrating hot evil women! We support women's wrongs~ Less than a week to support it! ⬇️

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation

death of the artist is a stupid baby excuse for clowns with no standards to pretend the money they give her doesn't literally go to making trans people's lives worse. fucking get over her her writing isn't even good. ursula k le guin and terry prachett are right there. have some fucking self respect

You say "little death", I say "brief murder-suicide pact"

bf slips his cock in u: cool, fun, awesome. but then he cant shut his damn mouth...🙄

Love finding tasty shapes 🤌

All the vat spawn comin up to me at pax u

folks who are worried that the frieren-looking-up-meme is mocking a beginner artist--need to understand...that not a single one of us looked at what they attempted and though "who could botch such an easy angle?? time to flex on this." We looked at it and thought "ah, man yeah. fuck that angle fr."

My Celes gouache painting from a few weeks back! It was difficult but still worth the attempt 🗡️

Any fans of ultramarine blue out there? Gulf Storm. 6”x6” oil painting

Oh hey, that specific thing that clear-headed researchers said was going to happen, happened.

IYKYK. SEVERED IS THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE CROWN. death to the wizard kings!

Just adding a bit of color to my drawing of Ivy from Deadlock did a lot to bring it forth I think! Almost like a comic style maybe? Still very WIP, this is cropped version as more of her is below! #deadlockfanart #deadlock #Ivy

Does anyone else feel like stress, financial pressure, and political strife have shortened your life? Not in a "I'm going to die sooner" way, but in a "I can only plan to survive a week at a time and there is no future to look forward to" sort of way. It's like...the PERCEPTION of life is shorter.

I saw a comment that was like "I'm so glad I only just got into Half-Life because ten years of THIS would drive me crazy!" and I was like, you poor sweet thing... You can, and now are tragically doomed, to have both.

Did you know that big studios monitor piracy? Don't you fucking dare pirate this shit. Do not hate watch through piracy. JK Rowling is a disgusting human being that funds and encourages the hurt, pain and death of my fellow trans peers. Support media that actually deserves our time and money.

I always forget how fab this set is! 🖤⚔ TrueRef: real art references for real artists.

The Deceitfulness of Riches | Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale

Opened twitter to try to find a pirate yakuza comic by a Japanese artist who isn’t on this site, immediately hit with people talking about how picking cotton wasn’t really that bad and slaves had it easy complete with tradwife-fluencer style video of someone delicately pulling cotton out of a plant

Today also marks the 21st Anniversary of my favourite console ever, the Nintendo DS! 💫 It's where I've found my love for JRPG, playing my first Final Fantasy, my first Dragon Quest, Golden Sun, Chrono Trigger... On top of many very creative and original games using its gimmicks! Top 10 later...

Pilgrims of the Murk Dome stuff

look their other soft power is an entire tv industry built around boys kissing boys, any country that's out to conquer the world gently through the soft powers of delicious food and boys kissing boys can just go right ahead and conquer the world as far as I'm concerned khrap

He so succinctly describes the central problem with the videogame industry at the time stamp, i wish every gamer gater had to clockwork orange style watch this 20 second reply on a loop until it sank in youtu.be/EE7cpJwC_bo?...

Colored my new OC! Maybe he'll show his face someday 😉

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together! It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity! So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖

This is the first version of Lancer Tactics incorporating the designs from NPCs Rebaked if you're into that sort of thing

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down TRUMP: Uh huh MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade? TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

These people would knife each other for a nickel. Not even their own spouses like them long enough to actually mourn them for more than 15 minutes when they get shot. They aren't some impregnable unified force marching in lockstep, you should stop giving credit where it isn't due

The actual lesson to take away from the Marjorie Tayor Greene story is that the idea that the right-wing is somehow operating in perfect unison unlike those dumb infighting lefties is complete bullshit

AT NIGHT I ALWAYS GET LOOSE NOT A SINGLE CORPSE THAT I FAIL TO SEDUCE EVERYBODY WANTS THIS PUSSY JUICE EVERYBODY WANTS THIS PUSSY JUICE @orbitaldropkick.bsky.social

People used to go on Fox News and say that Mass Effect was a "virtual orgasmic rape simulator" and parents thought Baby Pals for the Nintendo DS was telling their kids "Islam is the light," but now our country's entire economy hinges on the technology that tells your kid to kill themselves

Every single pundit who's been "unfairly cancelled" writes like this. Yes, people don't know how to read these days, but there's an important corollary to that which is that a lot of people, especially those in journalistic or literary fields, don't know how to write either
