Happy Steel Ball Run day!

We're coming up on the 20th anniversary of YGO Abridged but there's a decent chance I'll be kicked out of my home before that, so I'm gonna be streaming a 20th anniversary celebration to YouTube in the coming days while also trying to raise money to hopefully prevent that from happening. *sigh*

My sketch troupe MILK! performed at @tosketchfest.bsky.social last week, and it was a BLAST! Check out the clips in the link below ⤵️

They were laughmaxxing at the club while I was jokemogging. So comedypilled.

Hi. A dear friend of mine's been abruptly laid off from their job whilst also stuck in medical-bureaucracy limbo—delaying surgery they've spent 1.5 years preparing for. Marin & Martin took even gnarlier financial hits than I did in the strike. Please help them keep their house. ko-fi.com/U7U613D3A4

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

ever notice how every giant fandom becomes a toxic cesspool full of drama and resentment towards the creator of the work they're all obsessing over, hmm almost like centering your life around a piece of media is not healthy

Was this from a soyjack template? If not, it should be. (Strip Law)

I'm mad AND disappointed 😡😡😡

I saw someone describe those GenAI videos of characters fighting as "playing with dolls/action figures". That's it. That's exactly what it is. Just buy some toys and play with them. Way cheaper and less destructive to everything.

thank u weratedogs for the shoutout

So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

There have already been 25 data center cancellations or postponements this month, according to @macroedgeres.bsky.social. That's nearly as many as the previous 6 months combined.

@supplydepotmpls.bsky.social and standwithminnesota.com could really use our help in the upcoming days. But hey, how about right now?

At a certain point, social media became such that content creators, performers, and artists all found themselves held hostage by a herd mentality that will happily boost their work one day and then rip them to shreds the next over something so trivial or immaterial. It's been difficult to watch.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why: They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course. The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

Seeing a lot of false postings out there. Despite the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's recent closure, PBS and NPR are still VERY MUCH ALIVE and active. They're just more dependent than ever upon the generosity of Viewers Like You! Please support your local station! pbs.org/donate

So now you can only make sexualised deepfakes if X is making money out of it?

In Canada, call or email Evan Solomon and demand he do his job as “Minister of AI and Digital innovation” to stop the CSAM and non-consensual porn. X should be banned in this country. 📞 416-972-2030 📧 [email protected]

Grok is producing ~6,700 sexually suggestive or nudified images per hour • Twitter (X) is now the top deepfaking site in the world • Women who speak out become targets by users (via business)

A Canadiam Heritage Moment

This poster is one of the best on here and I’m so sad we’re losing her because of the appalling harassment she has been subjected to. Of course she must look after herself. And the rest of us need to do whatever we can to challenge and change this cruel, sick, dangerous, culture.

The International Red Cross / Red Crescent orgs are solid. We've worked alongside them in other countries. Support the Venezuelan Red Cross here (confirmed not on sanction list):

I called my rep. I left a message. You can also do this. www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

Make sure you take some of the anger you’re feeling right now and use it to contact your officials to demand impeachment now. It’s basically the least we can possibly do in opposition to this, which IMO makes it mandatory.

I wrote about how the AI scam is nothing what it promises to be, and exports cruelty, not virtue. open.substack.com/pub/kandist/...

Happy New Year. My body is dead from dancing

Users are noticing Twitter/X has added a Grok-powered AI image editor that lets anyone edit any image on the platform, including other people’s artwork using text prompts. Artists warn there’s no opt-out or consent, raising concerns over unauthorized edits and misuse.

AI hiring is here. It’s making companies — and job seekers — miserable

Now it's news

Done and done

Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case. Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.

bill c12 is canada's worst anti-migrant bill in DECADES has been passed in the house of commons and is now in the senate (final stages before becoming law) please email senators! migrantrights.ca/actionslist/... sc from link and from @harshawalia.bsky.social #stopbillc12

Another great reason to not use AI is the backlash and anger you can't put back in the bottle that comes with using it. Now, all of the writing and art for Divinity will be (rightfully) scrutinized for AI use, and people online will feel generally better criticizing it than they would've before.
