I'm allergic to cats but still celebrate this holy day

Thinking about this image reposted by ‪@cerberusxt.bsky.social‬ from that other place where this dude rails against women "invading" genre media & either being willfully ignorant about the history of women in genre media or just being a stupid sexist git. Just need to clear the air with this thread:

Spider-Noir is out so yeah have my cosplay of his with the rubiks cube and all 🖤🩶 #SpidermanSaturday

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.

If you care more about ship wars and icky kinks than the global increase in fascism, i really don't have time to consider your "moralistic" complaints "moralistic"

Repost to scare Bluesky developers

Oh hell yeah @amnesty.org comes out swinging: "Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems... are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems." www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

"The Muslim extremists would kill you for being trans! You don't know what it's like to live in a theocracy!" say the Christian extremists who want to establish a theocracy and pass laws killing me for being trans.

Shit Ubu, shit. Good dog.

Oh dear God!!! This is exactly what happens when dogs and cats lay down together. 😳 #Caturday

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

A legend, an icon and a trailblazer.

I switched browsers awhile back and Duck Duck Go *has* AI but asks you “do you want to use AI to do this or would you rather not?” and it struck me that it was the first time I was asked for my consent to use this technology that I apparently would find so wonderful that I’d never decline to use it

"women can be perfectly capable of using this technology and simply choose not to" we did in fact need data backing up this incredibly obvious claim bc a LOT of companies will insist Susan from Accounting is refusing to use AI to do the books because IT needs to come explain how it works to her

Probably my all-time favorite quote about editing is, some clueless individual asked Martin Scorsese's editor Thelma Schoonmaker how such a nice lady could edit such violent movies, and she replied "Marty's movies aren't violent until I edit them."

She was the whole ass reason Star Wars was as good as it was.

Artists, it looks like Adobe might be doing very questionable things at the moment by auto-enrolling you into a more expensive AI-heavy "pro" plan (potentially even charging you for opting out after the fact, which I should hope is illegal). Be vigilant 🧵 see further posts below

The Criterion Mobile Closet is parked outside the Portland Art Museum throughout the weekend, opening at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 30 and 10 a.m. Sunday, May 31.

A statement from Lucasfilm on the passing of Marcia Lucas. RIP. ❤️🙏 www.starwars.com/news/marcia-...

the highly requested "Ilya in Shane's jersey" art 👀 #heatedrivalry #hollanov

Marilou & I are deeply saddened by the loss of our lifelong friend, Marcia. Not just a gifted, innovative artist, she also happened to be a genuinely nice person. Smart, funny, & just plain fun to be around. Thankfully, her memory lives on and we will never stop missing her. shorturl.at/wx6BV

The most important thing to take away from this situation is this: Raising your voice works. Lots of people will tell you that gen-AI is inevitable, and we all have to accept it on their terms - but that is not true. Rejecting it forcefully sends a strong message to the companies pushing for it.

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump has announced that if he can't have total control over an institution that by law he can't put his name on, he's happy to see the institution destroyed. Understand that while today the institution at issue is the Kennedy Center, soon it'll be America.

THE LAST JEDI made $1.3 billion and set up a great new direction for the franchise — but Lucasfilm decided they’d rather try to appease a bunch of cry-babies and commit to the endless production of weak-ass nostalgia-slop instead.

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

American taxpayers to pay $300 billion to reconstruct Iran on behalf of genocidal Zionistan after spending $70-80 billion bombing them.....The art of the fuckup

this comparison to the arrival of CGI is the same crap Kathleen Kennedy said in her 'exit interview' yet still zero pleasing (or moral) results. out the gate CGI wielded by actual artists gave us TRON and the stained glass knight!

Starwars, imho, is incapable of adapting to the current times because its rights holders are god damn cowards. The original trilogy was in many ways a critique of the American empire. The prequel trilogy was how a democracy dies. All Disney could muster was "what if empire return w/ new name?"

Ur totally right, singing is useless /s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singing...

The problem is that Disney is going to take all the wrong lessons from this, just like hollywood always does. People aren't tired of Star Wars, they're tired of shit stories. They aren't tired of superhero movies, they're tired of a nonstop nostalgia slop machine...

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

"They asked me. 'What do you think a Star Wars movie should be?'...two years later, I was fired." this is such a microcosm of the problem with...everything the people in charge have no idea what a thing should be, but are in charge of deciding where all the resources go

Last year Hungary’s leader, Viktor Orban, tried to ban Pride. Tens of thousands of Hungarians donned rainbows and flooded the streets and bridges of Budapest. And this year, after Orban was ousted, the police have confirmed Budapest Pride will go ahead!

Thinking about why women might not want to use a product that has forced itself into every software interface to confidently shout things that are wrong

Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

If you haven't seen it, the actually performance on the night, and my favourite.

What if we fist our bumps aboard the Hail Mary and develop a friendship stronger than the power of one billion burning suns??? 💫👎 #projecthailmary #rylandgrace #rocky #projecthailmaryfanart

Been thinking about this… #StarWars

Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.

The way these "AI checkers" work is very, very simple. It feeds part of the text into an LLM. If the LLM predicts, correctly, the missing text, it scores that as proof the LLM produced the text. And LLM's literally stole *every fucking book and forum post ever fucking written* to train on.

the rule of lesbianism is you can't be jealous of someone's body if it's in your mouth

This is literally for like one person but a friend in a malloysical server went "how do rocky do pushups question" and I just could not stop thinking about it #phm #projecthailmary #threehouses #davemalloyn#jamesortiz

(1) Hux pulling Kylo Ren into a maintenance closet. (They both emerge 20 minutes later, completely disheveled.) (2) Mitaka getting absolutely railed by the KoR (3) Everyone giving Millie pets when they cross her path (4) Millie chasing Kylo (he will deny that happened) #kylux #kyluxprompts
