Hey, people are permanently losing their eyesight at some of these protests and have been for some time. These people, the ones that have put their bodies on the line, are among the people who would benefit from your usage of alt-text when posting protest related imagery.

In life David Lynch was known widely for being the absolute king of weird beard arthouse filmmakers. In death, he is known mostly for his kindness, work ethic, and just being an all around rad person that made films HIS way. And I absolutely love that. What a legacy. Rest in peace, king.

god this is demoralizing

in a refreshing change of pace, both bandcamp and games workshop announced this week that they've banned AI to varying extents. these stances are crucial during a time when AI is being rammed down our throats at every turn, and some people are starting to accept it

Bandcamp has officially banned music generated using artificial intelligence from its platform 🚫 buff.ly/SSDfRuK

Such a bummer when you hear that some amazing local landmark venue is closing and the comments are filled with stuff like "Heartbreaking! I haven't been there in years." Use it or lose it, dearies!

Trump yells “fuck you” and flips off an auto worker in Michigan who yelled “pedophile protector” www.tmz.com/2026/01/13/t...

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.

If you have the space, means and collection: a northern Texas warehouse full of proto-Redbox VHS vending machines from the mid-1980s is being evicted. The machines are free and whatever isn't taken will imminently be scrapped. www.facebook.com/commerce/lis...

If you understand that the modern patriarchy really objects to women owning themselves every other policy makes sense.

Hard Boiled (1992) John Woo (director) First time I saw this was a mail order VHS tape with contrast issues. Then, many times theatrically in the '90s. Then a dvd. Now we have a 4k UHD. What a journey! A five-star forever movie! 📽 #SaturdayActionMovie #HongKongCinema #FilmSky #JohnWoo

unsay that story

The grey paint the fascists use is a curse on our cities, our minds, and our hearts.

“Omg they blocked me over a joke.” I’ll block anyone, idec. I’d block my mother if she sent an emoji I didn’t like. I never developed object permanence I wouldn’t even miss her.

[Clock strikes.]

We’re at the point where we have concentration camps and slave patrols and the people with the most safety think a mean joke is the pinnacle of resistance

it’s a wicked world in all meridians; I’ll die a pagan.

Smoking is a great example of societal change. We should be proud of that. The problem is that the movement had motivation because many people were getting cancer and dying. Including kids. Today we don't give a fuck if kids are dying. And definitely not adults. bsky.app/profile/jedb...

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

Divest from Google today. Stop using YouTube today. Stop using Google search today. Migrate your GMail today. Have the courage of your convictions today.

Our souls are like those orphans whose unwedded mothers die in bearing them

Rejecting two genocidal Israel-first warmongers who happen to be women doesn’t mean the country isn’t ready for a woman president. It means that we’re done with Judeofascist neoliberal corporatist warmongers. Run a populist socialist woman and get back to us.

Perform empathy. Please. Perform the fuck out of it. It's so good to act with kindness. I hope it penetrates to a place where you feel it, too, but if you must act some way, act the right way. I'm not here to judge your authenticity, I just want you to be kind, thoughtful, and mortified by meanness.

Consider the subtleness of the sea

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

Reading Rob Miller’s (Bloodshot Records) new book and this paragraph is spot on. 🎯

This is a great clip. Say no to the future they want. But also actively build the future we want. Honestly, I think that's the part we're really struggling with. In the absence of our own vision to give us direction, we'll still get dragged along with whatever is happening.

It's not antisemitic to call out GENOCIDE and ethnic cleansing. It is racist to commit GENOCIDE and ethnic cleansing.

I don't know if James Gunn has any interest in including Power Girl in the DCCU, but if she's not a brick house like this, I don't want it.

And it didn't just happen once! Star Trek in the nineties also had a trans-coded character everyone respected and gendered correctly!

Stunning that this just HAPPENED on a show with (at that point) an audience of about 8 million people a week, in 1992. Nothing about Denise was played for laughs, except other people's reactions to her.

If you want to communicate your idea to an artist all you need is 30 seconds and the basic ability to grip a pen

should AI replace your need to develop hilarious and charming rough draft concept art or should you continue collaborating richly with other creatives while developing a nuanced understanding and appreciation for each other's craft via communication, who's to say.

I thought I might as well go below and make a rough draft of my will.

It's probably worth saying explicitly. Even if you did decide that you wanted to train a machine to replicate human judgment, you probably wouldn't want that machine using inputs from ALL humans. There are many humans who's judgement shouldn't be used for anything ever.

Lol

i wonder what the engineers assigned to work on Palantir's Manhattan Project are doing rn. as we speak, somewhere in the world engineers are working HARD on an Palantir+Anduril+Oracle weapon of mass destruction. let's all try to keep that in mind. the manhattan project is happening right now.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

THEY'VE PUT ME ON THE POCKETSTATION COOP. I'M BEING RENDERED IN A 32 BY 32 GRID OF MONOCHROME PIXELS. THE BOYS BACK AT QUANTICO SAID THEY'RE GOING TO RELOCATE ME TO A "DOKO DEMO ISSYO" UNTIL THEY CAN GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the true method.
