The biggest mistake every corporation is making right now is becoming *so* shitty that people are actually realizing we *don't* need that thing we spent 90% of our lives thinking we would die without.

Learning to draw really just takes lots of time and practice. But when you say that a bunch of people are like "if that was true, then I could do it!" And then you're like "yes" and then they're like "see? that's why you're lying!!" and then they continue to not practice because they don't like to

I've said this before but just because some artists are able to draw BIPOC characters sometimes does not mean that they are "safe" for us to be around. Discernment is good to have, and I don't think I'll ever let that go. The keyword here is "sometimes".

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

here is my little hack that helps sometimes

Imagine doing a murder on a train and then you see Poirot. You’re so fucked

GenAI companies keep claiming the books and copyrighted works their programed were "trained" on without permission didn't retain complete copies in their systems. This was a lie. These companies may now face for even more liability for violating copyrights. 1/ www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

All the best illustrators you have ever known or heard of, whether they admit to it or not, likely make heavy use of reference. Use it. Even if your style is more abstract, the advice still applies.

what do you mean the stranger things documentary shows them writing the script on a computer with 3 chat gpt tabs open

Read what you want, darlings, but it's odd when books that happen to feature sex are treated as radioactive and those about murder are treated as general interest.

don’t let them in. fuck ice. fuck fascists

Starting the new year with a renewed hatred for all things Gen AI. So I drew a knight slaying a dragon, can you spot all the hints that the monster is AI? 🌞

If you’re not willing to draw the line on your participation in a platform at “it helps create sexualized images of minors against their will” then I’m not sure you have a line or that it’s particularly meaningful. Many such cases but might as well acknowledge it.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
