make it exist first make it good later

A favorite that I haven’t seen in this (fantastic) thread yet…

April fool

sorry have to add my favorite one

A personal favorite:

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Borrowing a thing I saw on Twitter:

Hey @bsky.app, this you?

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

your no kings protest could massively help orgs doing stuff like this btw

I wanna go back to this bc some people were saying it's silly to comment on this because it was between the fed reserve and banks-- you saw last summer how paypros and banks had a propensity to blame each other when confronted about their censorship? Cutting off every blame route is important

This. Is. Murder. Even. If. No. One. Calls. It. That.

Frank Herbert's Dune

There was this Italian place I one of the cities I grew up in and CRAVE their food hard sometimes. Pizza by the slice (NY & Sicilian) subs on home-baked rolls. And there was something about those rolls, man, I have NEVER found a good replacement, I can replace everything in the sub, but not those.

Everyone is celebrating this because it's good. But it’s important to remember it's also funny.

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.

Now western car manufacturers are making what one former boss calls a “profound strategic mistake” as they pull back from electric vehicles (EVs) and refocus on the combustion engine just as oil prices are soaring again. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

All those people decrying the decay of “western civilization” get really quiet as the educational foundations of the “civilization” they slather over, aka, the Humanities, get gutted tells you it was never about “civilization” at all.

The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.

Call your lawmakers.

Everything Alejandra said.

This is brilliant. Who gets remembered and why is a HUGE fascination of mine and this articulates why that’s so important as much today as it was then.

My partner is really cool and you should check out their BFA show art :3

Sagittarius: We are all stardust but you have an abnormally high lint content too.

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

I analyzed over 10 years of anti-trans legislation. Over 330 bills have passed, with ~300 of them in just the last 5 years. There is no precedent in American history for so many bills to target one particular minority group like this in such a short timeframe. www.thedissident.news/the-ratchet/

Because to take them seriously, to treat what they think and say with the genuine seriousness it deserves, would involve recognizing what a very real threat they pose

The irony of course is that while being obsessed with not appearing to be condescending to people on the right, they are in fact being *incredibly* condescending They are actually refusing to treat these people like adults, to take them and what they believe seriously

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

Autumn Durald Arkapaw won for Sinners at the 2026 Oscars, becoming the first woman and first person of color to receive the cinematography award since the category was created in 1929 #NOH8

Meta promised to make all messages across their platforms (including Instagram DMs) end to end encrypted by default. Now they're doing an about face and removing encryption from Instagram DMs, probably because they want to use your messages to train AI and make money. This will get people killed🧵

Y’all she had a HIP REPLACEMENT IN DECEMBER.

Misty Copeland comes out of retirement to put Timothée Chalamet in his place during a live ‘Sinners’ performance at the #Oscars.

the lesson to be learned here is that when you let artists and creatives cook, instead of doing everything possible to increase shareholder returns, you get creative art that becomes immortal and inspires everyone!! you will always fall short when you don't trust the artists to do what they do best

Re-reading Sailor Moon and Berserk is certainly an exercise in tonal whiplash.

Wild to see fake gamer boys acting as if simply acknowledging racist things in Resident Evil 5 is some brand new overly sensitive leftist discourse when the game’s portrayal of Africa is so egregious that even 2007 gaming journalism had to be like “hold on, wait a minute”

A Dagger To The Heart, a mini comic🩹 Usually, Alba would ask Viago for this, but the Crows are still celebrating after "A Murder of Crows", and Viago is busy enough keeping an eye on Illario, who walks free. Part 1/2 #DragonAge #LucanisDellamorte #AlbaDeRiva #LousticArt #Lucalba #Rookanis

It’s your war, Bone-Spurs, use your own fucking ships

Remember that you are more likely to become disabled than not. You can be disabled by illness, injury, climate disasters, war, police brutality, unmitigated pandemics, lack of access to healthcare, etc. Disability justice is for us all, and it’s foundational to all other forms of justice.

Judge Barbra Streisand presiding.

Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism. (This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)

I got laid off from my day job this week so if you know anyone who is looking for a cool and awesome senior full-stack software engineer/team lead with tons of experience who also writes comics and has no trace of poster’s madness, let me know! Please! Got job search advice? Hit me!

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.

I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible

Realizing I had my mail stolen at some point last week, so I get to contact a couple customer service depts to see if I can get replacement items or if I’m out a few purchases.

I've started and discarded so many responses to the rather ignorant Thimothée comment on #opera and other arts...but my mom told me not to punch down. So I'll just say.... ....in a world of Thimothée Chalamets, be a Tom Holland. #OperaGeek
