And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

I was cleaning through some old files and I came across this. Someone on the hellsite came up with the idea of artist0s drawing themselves in the style of artists that they admire. Maybe we could start it again on here.

🧵 Matryoshka, Russian-state aligned bot network has introduced a hashtag HollywoodAgainstZelensky on X/Twitter yesterday. With deepfaked audio, multiple manipulated Cameo videos make celebrities to "demand" that European leaders force Zelensky to sign a peace treaty on Russia's terms.

Kaja Kallas: The greatest threat Russia presents right now is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield Russia is no superpower.After more than a decade of conflict,including 4yrs of full-scale war in Ukraine,Russia has barely advanced beyond the 2014 lines

President Zelenskyy: Ukraine didn’t choose this war& it's wrong to assume that this is a permanent arrangement that others can stay safe behind Ukraine forever.Ukrainians are people,not terminators.

You aren’t getting anywhere because you’re pressuring the victim instead of the aggressor—Russia. What you’re doing only emboldens Putin and increases civilian casualties in Ukraine.

This is wild. Russian government using AI to generate fake YouTube videos where well known Ukrainian supporters & influencers make pro-Putin content. Expect much more of this. Especially in the run up to the midterms- youtu.be/88tYt6FOMkQ?...

It's Day 1451 of the attempt to wipe Ukraine off the map/ Russian athletes compete at the #WinterOlympics while a Ukrainian athlete is in court right now trying to overturn his ban. This is THE daily thread. Facts not fabrication. Proof not propaganda. Every single day.

If I was a manufacturer of sunglasses, today would be the day that I would protect my brand by announcing that we would not be making perv' goggles.

We are pleased to announce that Episode 94: Geiger Volume 1 Retrospective, Part One is live! Join Nick & @comicbookrob.bsky.social for a return to the title that started it all as we deep dive into the first half of the original Geiger six issue miniseries!

Here's the cover I've done for the Spider-Man and Superman book for Marvel. There's also a short story inside from writer Geoff Johns, colourist Brad Anderson and myself inside. #comicart #marvel

Comic book artist Frazer Irving is having a tough time. He’s asking people to help by making a purchase from his shop. It’s gorgeous stuff! I see original pages from Klarion the Witch Boy that are far too cheap… frazerirving.bigcartel.com

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

The truth of Russia's lies about "liberation of Donbas people": Mrs Halyna lived in her frozen to ice apartment in Dobropillya, with nothing to eat and nowhere to go. She could barely move. Ukrainian White Angels crew came to her rescue, gave her food and brought Mrs Halyna to safety.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Fantastic work!

A beautiful lesson in the use of composition and solid blacks to create depth and lead the eye through a moment.

I look forward to joining millions in crushing those dreams.

#Kyiv. January 16, 2026. The temperature inside the apartment is -2°C. The building relies on electric heating, which is unavailable due to Russian attacks. No water as well. Russia is committing genocide against Ukraine’s civilian population 📷: yulia_dunay / Threads

I can't get the words "Banality of Evil" out of my head. It's like a little verbal earworm. Weird

Retweeting less for the article than for the stunning illustration.

In Chernihiv, russian drone struck a five‑story residential building. One person was killed, and among the injured is a child, local authorities reported‼️ Russian forces also attacked a critical infrastructure facility in the city.

This is part of a sequence that might just be my favourite thing I've worked on in 2025.

I made the mistake of downloading the Substack app and now I basically have to write off an email account.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Brian Lanza (a member of Trump’s team), who once advised Ukrainians to surrender, is now serving as an adviser to sanctioned Russian oil company Lukoil. But of course it's just a coincidence. No questions whatsoever about his motivation.

Thank you!

Sora is trained the same way as other models Disney is currently in court for, for what Disney claimed were a “bottomless pit of plagiarism”. By Disney’s own legal logic, is Disney now liable for Open Ai’s own “bottomless pit of plagiarism”? Deeply stupid move. Hope lawyers are paying attention 🤷🏻‍♀️

The US Senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy, dropping some hard facts regarding the developments unfolding around Ukraine and how Trump and his cronies are nefariously involved in it.

I've said for years that Twitter has become nothing but a hate site and a vector for harassment. And now it's a doxxing tool. Get the fuck off of Twitter, now. And pressure the organizations you work with to get off. It's a danger to everyone's safety.

Putin is attacking Europe and threatening them with war because Europe has his money and the only way he can get his money is convincing the Americans the Europeans are the reason there isn’t “peace” and getting the Americans to get his money for him www.politico.eu/article/jare...

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word! RSVP link: bit.ly/44lRMsX Details below 👇

Hey, quick question about this photo from Epstein's island: What the fuck

President of Ukraine: The Russians started the war, and there are no alternatives to this wording. The whole world is a witness. They came with aggression to destroy us. We stopped them. Europe helped, America helped.

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society: Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

in 1st century Judea, the corners of every field had to be left for the poor to pick crops for themselves, every seventh year *all* of the crops from fields and vineyards and orchards belonged to the poor, and all debts of all types were cancelled every 50th year.

We found 23 new apartment complexes built on Mariupol’s ruins, now sold on Russian sites to Russian families — while Ukrainians fight to reclaim their homes. See the investigation unfold on YouTube: youtu.be/8_MnE3s_CKs?...
