If our feeds can depress us by a thousand cuts it can also cheer us up by a... thousand... hugs? It might not be enough and it might be too late, but the tides are still turning and hopefully there's a light at the end of this tunnel

Late addition: While I strongly disagree that those with disabilities (like me) should "take back" the word like other slurs, it is still their prerogative if they want to do so. But neurotypicals? It is NOT YOURS.

There's a reason very few land animals are bipedal. It's incredibly unstable. Either they have evolve ways to compensate (kangaroos have very large feet) or need a damn good reason (humans needed their hands free for tool use). Humans took a LONG time to stop using our arms to walk too.

MSM, some quick notes: 1. It’s not a settlement (the case was dismissed). 3. It’s not a ballroom (it’s a bunker). 3. It’s not a library (Trump said it will be a hotel). It matters that you get it right.

Pray-away-the-gay activist turns out to be a closeted child molester. WHO could have predicted? (oh everyone)

Remember: we were never given credit for being right about crypto, we were never given credit for being right about NFTs, we were never given credit for being right about the metaverse and we will never be given credit for being right about AI. Fuck 'em up anyway.

no I don’t want the sparkly little icon to bot-splain to me how to write an e-mail, leave me tf alone

NEW EPISODE! In this Patreon-sponsored review, we look at a Lady Penelope story and a Thunderbirds story! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVZP...

Also... Just use "ignorant"? Ignorant easily replaces it & still sounds punchy, raw and uncensored "Are you F***ing r------d?" vs "Are you F***ing ignorant?" means the EXACT SAME THING but one implies a choice to be uninformed & doesn't throw anyone under the bus other than the target.

Yeesh. You'd think ONE of these idiots would've figured out they could become an instant superstar by even just *pretending* to do the opposite of this; but they aren't because instead of talking to people they're just getting ASMR sucked-off by the robot lady in their phone all day.

F--- anyone lecturing students about booing bad commencement speakers, ESPECIALLY speakers who *antagonized* those students with bullsh-- AI propaganda. The students already graduated, commencement is for THEM, they are the gift of a captive audience to these dickwad speakers.

Like, with dumb or stupid there's at least a pretense of "ignorant" or "slow to learn" but with the r-slur there is very, very specific image you are trying to invoke, and that image is of a minority group that doesn't live up to the stereotype you are placing on them. So yeah, it's not the same.

I've heard people say "It's like 'dumb' or 'stupid', the people don't even know what it originally meant so it's become an entirely new word" Even disregarding a LOT... that's not even true on it's own? Despite what Rick & Morty says, People still think "Mentally Disabled" when they use it 🙄

Western Animated shows that reached 10 seasons unscathed: Bob's Burgers King Of The Hill ...And that's about it. It's not good odds. Grateful every day Alex Hirsch stuck to his guns like a Russian sniper. Even on days I crave more Gravity Falls, I still respect the hell out "No. That is enough."

Welcome to everyone who is just now realizing that Mark Cuban is just another billionaire dipshit.

It also sucks that the US Anime market is so entrenched that UK or even AU/NZ dubs can't even hope to get a foothold except in the occasional game series (like Dragon Quest or Xenoblade). I want more anime to be really feeling it!

Overall dub acting has gotten so much better (except in PAYMENT GUH) but I will admit I hate how every dub VA is "Vaguely Californian Everyman, USA" in their tone. I miss the thick Bronx or deep Texas accents for comedy/side characters!

CalArts. The Harvard Of Animation (positive and negative) The Cambridge Of Cartoons Tried to push AI onto those it would replace. I won't be surprised if either of these speakers is hit by a falling safe in the next few days 😬

Not every game needs to be the next Fortnite. Not every show needs to be prestige TV with only 10 episodes.   Let devs and creatives create the stories they want without pressuring them into following restrictive trends.

Students booed AI hucksters at University of Arizona, University of Central Florida and now Middle Tennessee State University too. For all the media obsession over Fair Harvard, these schools are much more typical of the college experience, so maybe we could get a Big NYT Thinkpiece on this?

Remember earlier when I said Blanche almost single-handedly lost Trump's criminal trial? This. This is why. He's aggressive, aggravating and juries hate him. In short, he's a terrible lawyer which is of course the only kind of lawyer willing to work for Trump.

this is rightfully being dunked on from many angles but also...there absolutely were protesters during King Charles' visit. I guess not anybody from Congress as he alludes to here, but if he'd looked out his motorcade window literally at all on the way over he would have seen some

Is this entire graduation season just going to be watching rich dipshits get booed for trying to jack off AI in front of college kids? Because if so keep doing it, I'm having a blast.

If all AI functionality is entirely removed and Musk loses all ownership, we may enter talks But til then, jog on

I truly despise the prediction markets and how they've turned every aspect of our lives and human tragedy into a casino.   They are also yet another example of how much corruption and grifting have become normalized.

(sigh) No. He wrote so extensively in a certain direction that the texts the AI's algorithm searched said that the most probable response from a woman would be to GTFO. So it switched together an answer-shaped response based on those writings. Please stop pushing the idea an LLM has agency.

man wonder what kind of stuff inspired the attack on the san diego islamic center

if my email tries to talk to me i am going to hit it with a hammer

Don't dull your shine for anybody! ✨ #dimension20

Blanche could’ve just said, without even fully accepting the premise here, that if you’re a known child abuser you can’t have this money. The fact that he won’t say that is horrifying

Jason Crow was an Army Ranger. On January 6 he was teaching his colleagues how to use things like pens and their congressional pins as weapons. He’s not here to fuck around with this shit.

Wikipedia truly feels like one of the last remnants of the Old Internet that has survived relatively unscathed. It is one of the few online spaces left that's free from AI slop and right-wing propaganda. It also has free information, so it's not shocking that the right hates it.

Appeasing MAGA, bigots, and the far-right is never going to work out the way centrists and corporations think it will. They're still going to hate you and all you end up doing is alienating your own base and customers.

1. Does it help fuel their populist narrative that they must take down the one evil corrupted elite that is Disney? 2. Are they able to get some good engagement attention out of it, especially on Twitter? If not, then the animation community will pretend that this doesn’t exist.

Seeing those young people boo AI bootlickers gives me hope. It tells me that the youth aren't as into AI slop as they're made out to be, people are tired of it, and that these tech people are entitled jerks who are unprepared for any sort of criticism and pushback.

REVIEW: "THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU" 'Star Wars' comes back to theaters with weird-lil'-guy-filled one-off adventure that -refreshingly!- doesn't demand you watch (or HAVE watched!) even one extra minute of its preceding TV show or maybe even another 'Star Wars' 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=psIB...

Streeting bought into the hype the media whipped up around him, and it's lovely to see how he completely fucked it.

Great to see ABC news doing this - that's Rebel News panicking because if everyone does it they no longer have a business model @news.abc.net.au

Here's @ronnisalt.bsky.social. "Where One Nation lies".

Like I can't read that as anything other than people saying "I am mad at myself for my own thoughts here so I'm making it the artists' fault, and also I need to announce this." Stop it. Stop it right now. That's weirdo loser sh--.

Guys I'm sorry but I watched that Glitch pilot and if you're calling those VERY normal characters "goonbait" essentially just for being female and EXISTING on a cartoon? IMO that's *you* having a need to announce an intention and make it the creators' "problem" somehow. That's weirdo behavior, to me

... ...aw hell, Craig 😔

...yeah they shouldn't do that

Actor Javier Bardem: “We are killing women because some men think they own them. They possess them. “The big balls men saying my cock is bigger than yours and I'm gonna bomb the shit out of you. “It's a fucking male toxic behaviour that is creating thousands of dead people.” (Variety)

Tom Kane is a voice acting legend with hundreds of credits throughout his career, but to honor his legacy, let's follow the guiding words that he gave us in the Magic Kingdom's Happily Ever After.

"According to Velloso, less than 3% of paying users actively use Copilot, even though Microsoft has pre-deployed it directly into the Windows 11 taskbar and across the Office suite." lol, lmfao
