NEW: A dramatic voiceover video the White House and Donald Trump shared last week claiming to show "chaos" in Chicago is littered with outdated footage from Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Nebraska, California and Arizona, an AFP investigation found. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Not a hot take but if you don’t want a gay kid, or a trans kid, or a disabled kid, or an Autistic kid, or an [insert other thing here] kid: DON’T HAVE A KID.

I've paid Hans' initial vet costs and ER visits, as well as his medication I had to get. The last remaining bit will help me cover rent/utilities this month since I was out of work for about a week for him, not to mention having a tooth pulled. Again, thank you all.

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

my tablet is still bust and almost totally deleted this like four times, so I'm fed up. i'm stopping but, creatures!

Facebook pages are exploiting a four-year-old boy's disappearance in an apparent bid to drive website traffic. www.aap.com.au/factcheck/fa...

Please remember this while we fight for free speech and human expression. We may face short term losses. We already have. But things dont have to stay that way. Winning hearts and minds, and directing their energy at representatives, can create change even after a bill is passed

Yesterday, I realized something: Aladdin has an animal sidekick, sings about his problems, his dad is the King of Thieves, and a big strong man (Genie) helps him out. Aladdin is a Disney Princess.

After two years of publishers telling us “visual novels don't sell” and “AI could make a thousand like that” we’re finally announcing ❤️‍🔥 Mythic Love: Iberian Legends, a human-made monster romance VN (no, there's never enough of these) inspired by Spanish myths and legends! +info⬇️

So you know the common complaint of how Dusty from Balto 3 looks like a lazy clone of Aleu from Balto 2? Yeah I fixed that by redesigning Dusty's facial markings with a simple edit. Something something less is more #balto #balto2 #balto3 #balto2wolfquest #balto3wingsofchange

If you see this, repost with a game from the year you were born!

Some important news for TikTok fans: As TikTok is changing hands to a propagandized new malicious algorithm and continues to suppress content, a new app called Skylight is gaining traction! You can join with BlueSky, they're integrated together. It looks neat. Still in beta but worth a try.

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet. After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

AI “art” is not art. Pass it on.

To help with covering vet bills for Tulio, I'm wanting to do some base adopts where the buyer gets cub/pup and adult forms for each character. Which species would you want to see first: Lion, Hyena, Husky, or Akita? You can reply here or vote in this poll: ko-fi.com/polls/Adopts... #promosky

Hannah is a fellow Michigander who made the difficult leap out to LA to break into animation! Well animation is now breaking Hannah and many others including myself. Consider commissioning a piece of art in her charming style! ✨

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

[Band:] ALRIGHT DISABLED PEOPLE WE WANNA HEAR SOME NOISE!!! ANY EDS IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT?? 🗣️🎸💥 [Collective joint crackling sounds like the roar of applause]

Reasons to use alt text for art: -Helps blind people (YAY) -Boosts your post. Feeds that pick up "Mermaid" will include a post that says "A mermaid lays on a rock" in alt even if actual post caption doesn't mention the word -alt says 'art', it counts as #art -Some ppl only repost art w/ alt text

Welcome to a world where companies use your IP without compensation or permission to train their AIs and landlords want to own any IP you create in their apartments. Funny how writers and artists are told what we create had no value but everyone aims to steal it.

Unbearably awful songs from artists you otherwise love to death When by Megadeth

God damn, everyone needs to start grown a fucking spine and ignoring that orange toddler's little tantrums. We have been making fun of presidents as long as there have been presidents. Thin skinned man baby....

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

#artfight2025 Grats to my opponents! We put up a good fight, but too many of you were too talented and too fast. I'm glad it was so close, though!

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Bluesky has a scold issue, people bursting into hobby posts to scream that the OP should be DOING SOMETHING IMPORTANT. I have come to the conclusion that we must fight fire with fire and scold the scolds.

The IRS wants Americans to weigh in on Direct File, the agency's free tax filing program. We already know Direct File has been widely popular and successful. The program could save Americans billions annually between filing fees and time costs. www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs...

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

GOOD NEWS! For the FIRST time ever, and after MORE THAN 30 YEARS of HIV vaccine clinical trials, researchers have developed a vaccine that has SUCCESSFULLY generated TIER 2 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV and BLOCKS viral infection in vaccinated PEOPLE.
