An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Heyyy #Roleplayers! Are you looking for a new site? Maybe something different from the norm? Try The Peacekeepers Age! We've got #dragons and #dragonriders, a friendly staff and member base, and all you could want in a game: dragons, low word count, and more dragons! #rp #roleplay #rpad

Then we need to get rid of @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social HE COMMITTED A WAR CRIME. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT DOING ANYTHING. FUCK. YOU. YOU SPINELESS COWARD.

I have been CALLED OUT

Is it bad form to say every artist should be allowed to post their donation links for Giving Tuesday? Oh well, whatever - every artist should be allowed to post their donation links on Giving Tuesday.

can betazoids sense when you're stoned

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

Not even really a hot take but more of a fact, so much of the anime/manga industry is fueled and powered by women. Either women creating stories or women buying products for their favorite shows more often than guys, even women just making fan art for the medium Gundam was saved by its women fans

Hey! I know today is big for online shipping, but have you considered my shop? I've got all sorts of neat things you might like if you are a fan of dragons, FFXIV, Resident Evil, and more! www.etsy.com/shop/HeroesO...

Not having depression would be so cool.

I suspect I'll get crap for this, but I do think it's something we all need to be reminded of, especially fans and creators of things.

I suggest that we start using the phrase "Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too." as shorthand to explain how little we want to be at any given terrible event.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

So many of my anxieties would be GONE gone if I had a UBI. I'd be feeling so much freer to create instead of drawing something and thinking if I can market it as a print/sticker/keychain.

Keep calling! We have a few more days that need heavy pressure! Keep calm, stay polite with the call center employees, but be firm!

The Doctor is right and correct

It was Downey who coined the phrase in the LEVERAGE writers room “future episodes do not win out over present episodes”. Trust me, you’ll have more ideas. You’ll die full of them.

We should make more movies that look like this. Clash of the Titans was so fun.

Monsterfuckers unite!

More games need unicorns in them. Why? Because unicorns rule. Strap guns to them and put them in COD. Fuck one in a dating sim. Have it kill you in a horror game. Succumb to horse girl supremacy.

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.

Weapon Added To Each Thanksgiving Place Setting In Preparation For Blowout Family Argument

For Gamera's birthday, friend of ALL children, there's a simple message: Protect trans kids. Commission for @assaultgodzilla.bsky.social. / #MyArt / #Commissions /

"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.

The amount of gays and lesbians who would abandon their bi and trans brethren is staggeringly high and to all of those I say: Y'all aren't welcome here you bootlicking cunts. You're no longer part of the community. Consider yourselves excommunicated.

In a heartbeat

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.

It's my birthday today 💫 A retweet or a like would make me very happy (:

idiot guy: i'm like the wolf i'm stalking my prey alone through the forest and being raw as fuck even if i'm in a group i'm the alpha actual wolf: i love my friends so much!!! i love to romp and kiss my bros and work together as a family <3 awooo etc etc have you seen the puppies oh my god come see

“Poor people have a right to art!” They sure do. So get to it.

It's possible and encouraged to accept that titles like Shinesman, Read or Die, and Baccano! will never be released via legal means again, while still advocating for keeping them alive through grey and illicit markets. Just... know and understand what the fuck "keep it on the down-low" means.

Reinstate Goran NOW. Literally the only thing he's ever used his platform for is posting cool art and fundraising for people trying to survive a genocide.

nose down ass up that's the way we cyberstuck

OwO who could this handsome stranger be...

All I'm sayin, no matter what kind of build or purpose they have. I think all robot girls should have at least 5 massive weapons built into them that are too impractical for organic beings to use and at least one really cool mode of transport built in for use alongside 'em

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool. It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.

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.

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."

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.
