"this piece of media has gross stuff in it" man damn that sucks, did you talk to your mom about how the parental controls aren't working

[Insider] A plan to close four of six libraries in Tokyo's Kiyose backfired spectacularly. Citizens collected 7,600+ signatures in opposition. The assembly ignored them. So, voters responded by electing a Communist-backed mayor for the first time.

Get over it, average user. You're wrong. You, the customer, are wrong in this matter of taste. Whatever you don't decide for yourself, someone else will decide for you. Whatever aspect of your life you don't control, someone else will control for you. Show me the filesystem.

Another Tomodachi Life dump here, sorry, I'm feeling wrecked today so we're doing this

I used to be good at Computer. Now Computer thinks it is good at me. But it actually isn’t??????

the speed at which this happened is the funniest thing i’ve seen all day on this busted ass site i reposted both the users in this as well, i’m just appreciating the juxtaposition here

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u #transdayofvisibility #tdov

Anyways.

The dragon heard someone disturbing their hoard. Looking in, they saw a knight checking a bejewelled sword. "There you are! May I buy this?" "You have a sword," said the dragon. "It's for a valentine!" "A sword?" "What better gift to give?" "Hm. That one is blunt. I'll find a sharp one."

Sometimes i think about ruling the world and how instantly I would turn into a tyrant.

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser. What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

i was once asked the same question by someone in a position of power over me and the whole exchange felt very—what’s the word—like they saw relationships with creatives as currency? felt BAD

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

Just discovered the JP counterpart to the legendary Solstice box art......

"because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people" is how he finished that sentence

There is no way you can guess how the thread that ends in this instant classic begins.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

if you don't know what ocremix is, put it into youtube and go listen to some of the best music you've ever heard

I’m down for this.

I firmly believe that algorithmic recommendations and "for you" pages are what have made the Internet feel so much 'smaller' Used to be you'd only be recommended about a video or website outside what you follow from other PEOPLE than algorithms, but now everyone sees the same Internet

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work! Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too. That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

My husband went to a viking metal concert yesterday -- in chainmail, as you do -- and had an amusing moment at the metal detector. It didn't go off. He and the bouncer were waiting for it to shriek, but nope! Apparently the machine processed it as 30 lbs of wedding rings, and decided that was fine.

The knight stood, triumphant, over the prostrate dragon. He raised his sword high above his head and- "I wouldn't if i were you" The voice was in his head. Confused, he glanced around. A black cat was cleaning a paw, casually nearby. He raised the sword again. "Are you REALLY, really sure?" /1

Please god learn the difference between "This isn't good" and "This isn't for me, or something I enjoy"

And now for something completely different: Wares Blade, the vintage mecha-fantasy RPG I've been localizing for LionWing Publishing, officially went live on Kickstarter this week - and has been absolutely smashing funding goals from the word "go."

It took me 84 years but I finally finished this thing🥹 #video #ocsky #vampires

TikTok self-censorship due to perceived algorithmic throttling of certain terms has always been obnoxious, but I think we underestimate how harmful it is for kids to constantly be in an environment where stuff like "Mustache Man unalived a lot of people" is how you talk about the Holocaust.

I specifically put away time to go to a cafe so I can read, because I can't manage it at home

Great advice for anyone who is a small-fry creator on the internet, surprised to meet an actual fan.

I did say the thing!
