My parents are from Torrance and I grew up on Walker Texas Ranger, so Chuck Norris was a huge cornerstone of my childhood. In honor of his passing I’m reminded that Trivette was by far my favorite part of that show. RIP Clarence Gilyard Jr.

one of my most intractable and strident positions is that i absolutely don’t give a single fuck how much the USPS costs, expand their services so that it costs double, you’ll never get me to give a shit

lmao the eurovision mascot is so ugly I literally screamed at this reveal

folks we cant lionize Chuck Norris just cuz he was part of early internet meme culture, dude was a right wing piece of shit, good riddance

The next Umbert ep will be up in FOUR WEEKS! Which is the frequency we’ll be releasing the entire season! But don’t worry, the backer-chosen bonus eps will air in between!

Bluey, I bet

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

Loud wishful thinking but with Fortnite pissing off it’s entire userbase, @velanstudios.bsky.social could bring back Knockout City and steal all of the Epic refugees

Good to remember that OpenAI reserves the right to call the cops on you and your chat logs are not in any way privileged.

If you ever wanted to hear the sound of all the oxygen being sucked out of a room…

This is exactly how my class discussion started. These are graduate students, btw. A lot of students really take my courses for writing instruction and not content. So the issue of finishing a draft comes up. Turns out they cannot write (or read a long text) because they have every notification on

[Trying to get through work at 6:30] My brain: God all I want to do is sleep I can’t wait to get things done and go to bed [Finally getting to bed at 1am] My brain: DONT YOU WANT ME LIKE I WANT YOU BAYBAY DONT YOU NEED ME LIKE I NEED YOU NOW-

Come on Illinois, bring it!!!! VOTE #vote #illinois #katAbughazaleh

Respond to this with an image from a movie that always cheers you up, but don't name the movie. just share an image.

It is actually really rad seeing Arnett, specifically, say this because he is an actor whose career is built on the back of animated roles. He knows what got him where he is and is actually standing up for the folks who made it.

The war & AIPAC are nightmares, but so is Joe Kent, one of the most openly fascist figures in Trump’s regime, a comrade of Proud Boys and Fuentes, a man who says Black Lives Matter was a child trafficking ring, a guy who complains that Hitler is misunderstood. Don’t take the bait.

ABUGO TO THE POLLS!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Illinois has same-day voter registration! Make sure you show up at YOUR assigned polling place with 2 forms of ID!

Oh hey, a reason to hate Nvidia even more

There’s just nothing to say, to people who clearly think shit like this is progress

I've seen an influx of jobs on Upwork is the person building an app with <insert AI platform here> and asking for a software engineer to come in and fix it.

Trump’s & Rubio's 3-month blockade of Cuba has created a dire humanitarian situation, inflicting collective punishment on the Cuban people. They are doubling down on over 65 years of a failed, bankrupt Cuba policy. We must reverse course now. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/c...

We do not need GenAI to make games more realistic In fact, not every game has to be photorealistic you know The art style of the original games are fine the way they are

Our hope is that this guide provides more clarity around the evidence base behind potential LC treatments, all in one place — that it helps patients evaluate the options available to them, & informs clinicians on the supporting evidence for off-label treatment in #LongCovid. /5

any time a politician answers a question with, "I don't know anything about what you asked about, but what I DO know is..." someone should come and just pie them in the fucking face because we didn't ask you about whatever the fuck talking point you had loaded and ready to go, so now you can eat pie

Tonight was our last class with Lisa and her feedback on my homework from Wednesday was that it felt like a lost episode of Gravity Falls. My heart is so full 😭😭💜💜 #storyboarding #storyboarartist #animatic #boardroughs

PSA: Do NOT pour milk in the eyes of people who’ve been tear gassed or pepper sprayed. Chemical irritants can cause small abrasions on the surface of eyes (especially if you rub them). Milk can introduce bacteria that can cause opportunistic infections. Flush with distilled water.

Littke something to pin on Insta after the wave of A/I slop from this weekend

Do I know anybody at Flying Bark who could put a good word in? 😅

Just one last night bump, at 200/300 needed for Barby, i think everyone should be really nice to me and repost my art i work very hard on because I have to deal with legal stuff regarding my abusive father tonight in the form of writing down my exp with him so im in bad headspace Thanks for sharing

Idiot child underestimated finger's impact on touching hot stove.

And there it is folks. There it fucking is. These words get uttered in his smooth brain, leave his ghoul lips, and without a hint of self-reflection... doesn't recognize himself as mother fucking villain. He named the company AFTER THE EVIL ALL SEEING ORB FROM LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!!!!

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

I’m so grateful to have something stable right now even if the pay is bad, but being in a boarding class and having assignments and deadlines and presenting work to our ‘director’ for feedback makes me miss my career so much it twists my stomach.

im grabbing your hand to tell you. it’s not too late to start wearing a mask again. it’s better to wear a mask 1/4 of the time (or whatever your percent looks like) than not at all. there’s no shame in starting to be covid safe again even if you havent been for a long time. its okay

Using AI for your art references not only gives you a skewed & inaccurate view of the world, it also puts resource providers like myself & all these awesome people out of work! Using REAL photo references is what levels up your art AND supports the stock/resource community! ❤️💪

#savespeech #furry #stopcensorship Vital thread, in the wake of the ongoing censorship events.

We told you they will eventually use porn as a platform to go further, but y'all were too outraged by the mildest edgy EU artsy game like horses to pay attention to the way the wind was flowing.

You see this? This is exactly why I had to go off HRT. Do you understand how sad and terrifying it is to make these life choices? To have to think about these things daily? To worry about your safety ALL THE TIME? We just want to live our lives in peace.

Taking a storyboarding class this week instructed by Lisa Dosson and this was our first assignment (+ addressed notes). Solo acting challenge! I'm such a sucker for the trope of a little cute character being a hardass and this little chick design was on the resource roster!

Do I know anybody at Flying Bark who could put a good word in? 😅

In all of film history, there's never been a single instance of a movie failing because of audience bigotry, it's made up. Producers blaming censorship on a foreign country or "concerned parents" or whatever are always lying. They're not bending to pressure, *they're* the bigots. Get it right.

Would these happen to be the same parents who leave all the parenting of their children to public school teachers and then when the kids come home with thoughts and opinions they scream that schools are brainwashing their children?

For my EU board artists! 👇
