After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

seeing people being like "ehhh Idkkkkk horses DOES sound kinda icky, I get why it was banned" like barely 2 months after a bunch of people kicked up the wildest possible hostile campagn against _itch_ makes me feel like I'm losing my mind lol

If you liked my work from @desertbus.org - please consider supporting me! I’m a blind artist making embroidery and now I’ve moved up to an industrial machine to make size inclusive pieces with texture you can feel and a purpose in every stitch :)

the only time i ever gave back to my community (cinephile dorks whose parents claim they can't see it but we suspect are messing with us a little)

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

Not only is food more expensive, it is much more likely to make you sick and harm you, or give your baby botulism

Hi! I’m Kathleen, a designer and cartoonist from Vancouver. I haven’t been actively making comics the past few years due to some ongoing health problems, but you can read almost 300 pages of my goofy, gay, silently musical comic series Band Vs Band at bvbcomix.com

Hello!! Sadly this is me? Anyone need a video editor/media artist/motion designer with management experience?

Solidarity with my beloved trans, queer, and disabled friends whose families invited our physical bodies to the table today but who will only speak to the cis, straight, or able-bodied phantom versions of us they carefully maintain in their heads.

Mike Johnson: “We order in food because we just don’t have the time or luxury of cooking.” LOL. “Luxury.” Says the speaker, when so many Americans can’t afford groceries, much less the expense of ‘ordering in.’ Poor guy.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

I know this is like ten years too late, and America blew it. But please do this before Farage gets into power, and the US and UK are both firmly on the side of Putin.

"Epic CEO angry that customers want to be informed and will refuse to purchase products they feel were made unethically so wants to take that choice away". There, fixed it for you.

We're partway through the new Defunctland video and the really striking thing to me is how every new Disney CEO went, "What would Walt do?" and their answer was, "Cut costs and never try anything new," when what Walt ACTUALLY did was spend ridiculous amounts of money on his own weird obsessions

I don't think Walt Disney was a particularly good person or even a very good artist, but he WAS very willing to spend a shitload of money to develop art and technology to chase his impossible dreams and THAT'S what made Disney actually innovative and interesting.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, America

In 2013, Whole Foods workers in Chicago staged a “Strikesgiving” walkout to demand Thanksgiving off. A year later, they won: no more mandatory shifts, voluntary sign-ups, and double pay for those who work. Proof that organizing works. inthesetimes.com/article/want...

WORD! I grew up dirt poor and I always had some cheap pencils, an eraser and a notebook (even with lines or grids) to draw on. There's so much more art than digital art. And you DO NOT need an expensive monitor! My drawing tablets were max 40e. FireAlpaca is free, too.

its so crazy that young people became less interested in movies & tv at the same time weird tech guys mostly started deciding what gets made

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

Kids absolutely do not care if you're trans. They aren't born bigoted. But they are born haters

Reminder that my commissions queue is open with time to spare before the holidays. Here are some recent pieces I've completed. Use my site form: www.alexsteacy.com/commissions Or talk to me on discord: discordapp.com/users/108462...

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?

Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

Making fake stuff that looks real is (still) fairly hard and requires some tools and skill. Convincing people that real things are fake is much easier and can be done with no creativity at all.

can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

ahhh @novaramedia.com & People Make Games crossover event about Rockstar's union busting. glad to see this news spread beyond the games industry. hopefully a warning to any future union busting efforts + a support to fired workers in their upcoming legal battle www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxuP...

Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link) www.wsj.com/real-estate/...

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

I can't express how very much My Thing this is, and also lost count of how many times I had to pause so I could stop laughing first. (Also recommend the first video/part, of course.)
