Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

That Baker is always popping off just because she has practical experience, conducts research on the topic, and reads others' work in the area

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

The ex-paladin and the wizard go for a walk. The wizard picks ramps and the ex-paladin carries his basket.

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

So a couple years back there was a campaign that he put on to take back the Punisher skull from cops/law enforcement, and he basically invited artists to either reimagine or reintegrate. The Punisher skull with inclusivity, diversity, BLM, lgbtq. A ton of artists came out and did exactly that.

No, not if you are a famous poster from another site. Rodericks has veen very clear by action that this is permitted if you are cis and famous.

hey so surely using an alt account to circumvent people who've blocked your account so you can screencap and post about them so your followers can harass them violates ToS right?

One TV writer’s descent into the gig economy powering AI: endless Slacks, overnight “sprints,” disappearing contracts, and manic gruntwork meant to teach machines to replace human creativity. All while her own industry collapses. Come because it's important. Stay because the writing is hilarious.

ai sucks, all my homies hate ai

These fucking people are so fucking useless. Every single one needs to be primaried.

This hurts my nerdy heart, but I will forever love this man for everything he did not only for comics but to push back against the misuse of his intellectual works when cops tried to use Punisher to support their violent corrupt ways.

Gerry Conway has sadly passed away at the age of 73. He co-created the Punisher, Ben Reilly, Jackal, Man-Wolf and the first Ms. Marvel. He also wrote one of the most iconic comic book stories in history — “The Night Gwen Stacy Died”

I don't think this business model works if you piss off every creative in the industry.

Never concede an inch to generative images and text. It is a fascistic project by billionaires to undermine and destroy human culture, its goal is to destroy our empathy and human connections. We are already feeling the effect. It is far from being “just a tool”.

ICYMI: I did an explainer of the Trump administration's Counterterrorism policy targeting trans people, Muslims, and progressives, and what you can do about it.

I’ll make a deal. Four full body drawings for $225 so I can make a payment today on the care credit. ;w; Just fill out the form and mention in one of the questions about this deal.

Just finished Children of Ruin and enjoyed it a great deal, but @aptshadow.bsky.social is not shaking the accusations that he's just a rare organic variant of Bugbot.

Oh right, this is happening! Look at these little people I drew.

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

It’s super weird that all these empires rapidly went from ‘the sun will never set on us’ to ‘we’re gonna compost all our people’

the trouble with robes

A school board in Wisconsin is probably going to censor an instrumental performance by children because the composer dedicated the piece to a queer icon. It’s why the calls by Democratic consultants to compromise on “the trans issue” is so unacceptable. You cannot compromise with this vile hatred.

The wizard sleeps calmly. Outside, an owl catches a mouse and swallows it whole.

Our babies deserve/d better and the great hell of being a Black adult is knowing that you can't/couldn't protect them the way you wanted to

Some history about this commemoration: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Mig... "The enslaved Africans brought by the settlers [to San Miguel de Gualdape in 1526] became the first documented black slaves in what would become the continental United States and carried out the first slave rebellion there."

On this day in 1926, a white mob in LaBelle, Florida, lynched a young Black man named Henry Patterson for stopping at the home of a white woman to ask for a drink of water.

Misinformation is mental poison. So, good.

I have a few lovely friends who worked on this!! So hype!! Please watch!! It was made with care ☺️

People like to talk a big game about "conservatives want the benefits of society without the accountability of society" but if you can't stop giving JK Rowling money then you also are a person engaging in that behavior

More examples! (Please note, commissions would be in colour for that price).

incredibly funny that this bullshit trust and safety team is going to Streisand Effect themselves into everyone knowing about this restore @cara.city you miserable babies

re: re that gross AI site taking tabletop folks and genning articles Do with this what you will www.whois.com/whois/4pilla...

ABPN- Always Be Punching Nazis Even if it means you gotta peel out. Every punch is a lesson learned.

i'd say don't run from this truth, but with those old bones y'all ain't running nowhere :P

Like, if you wanna watch Mortal Kombat characters do Mortal Kombat stuff, and then also feel kinda sad when sad stuff happens, Mortal Kombat 2 was great. Not enough Scorpion, but really, really fun. Give MK3 more money, more Scorpion, a little more old school choreography, but this gets 8/10

Mortal Kombat II (2026) was Fun and Good, Actually (so was Mortal Kombat 2021) A handful of good-to-great leads (the Ladies are carrying this one, but Urban is fun as hell), some neat b-plots, neat set pieces, violence you only get post-Saw, some laughs, Liu Kang becoming an actual wuxia character.

huh

Capitalism, much like rape culture and bigotry, relies most of all on the understanding that the people you are harming are simply better people than you, and will therefore not put the effort into harming you back.

Ken Whitman's too busy running scams to write his own texts about how he's running scams.

So while they obviously don't want to comply with my request, and would likely do the same for anyone, I think every designer listed on that site should reach out to them. Make your feelings heard right away. And then fucking put them on blast everywhere.

Come at me, bro. #Gaz

I dunno if it's the same in other countries, but I feel, in the US in particular, the idea of being a "small business owner" is such an aspirational status that it's subject to con jobs in ways I'm not sure exist abroad. Take TikTok "side hustles," for example.
