Imagine if this were even one nail in the coffin for Grok, Twitter, or GenAI in general.

For what it's worth, I think this assessment is substantially correct. The UK has now returned, all but in form, to the legal landscape that gave rise to the ECtHR decision in Goodwin, ie in breach of the ECHR. I don't see how it cannot be the case

Totally legit toys #Sonic

OK, I don't often do this but I am going to break from my standard practice. Did you enjoy Avatar: the Last Airbender as a kid or teen, but now it's 20 years later? Instead of retelling the story of the same 5 episodes yet again with another live action movie, watch THUNDERBOLT FANTASY.

Your BSKY following feed is still algorithm free and chronological. If you don't like what you're seeing, change the people you're following.

It…it’s just a reskin of the Jetsons

Why do they switch language halfway through?

Hey I’m not the only one who remembers this one :D

Never watched this show but I like that opening. I bet the show isn’t as fun :p

Adolescences of Utena (1999) directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara

the core mission of the fascist right's culture war metapolitics is to sow the idea that morality is a lie and ethics are just another predation strategy, that good people are mere status-seeking opportunists and bad people are refreshingly honest players in the inescapable, zero-sum game of power

A cool thing is that if you're using AI to make fan works you can stop today! Block that website and never go back. You're free.

He's illegally filming people? Cool, someone jail him

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

our descendants will see this as humanity’s second dark age. unfathomable amounts of art, literature, and code—some of our civilization’s crowning achievements—abandoned in favor of sloppy, imprecise averages. they will wonder what came before and why we destroyed it. we will have no answer

These hollow suits don’t know the first thing about art, about legacy, about the future. They only care about short-term gain. They ruin the lives of anyone who stands between them and another yacht. They’d smash a priceless artifact if they thought a $50 was sealed inside. bsky.app/profile/sami...

This sure looks like the kind of move you would do if you really wanted to consolidate power around a specific tech stack that lines up more with your ideology than the things the world class engineers you had on staff wanted to do

I posted this yesterday but it was late so I don’t think many saw it.

"Did you see what happened to Pepsi on Threads?" No. I felt the precious gossamer touch of sunlight on my skin today.

oh hell nah. mitch mcconnell just reincarnated as a girl in a fantasy world

Fun fact: if you read The Call of Cthulhu, the only people that go mad upon seeing Cthulhu are those who choose to remain content with the world as it is The disenfranchised peoples, including those of non-white races and the "mentally aberrant" can see the Old Ones and Elder Things and be just fine

In this essay, I will explain how Cthulhu is actually a metaphor for working class movements and how the only people who can't comprehend it are the people who have everything to lose if the lower classes get their way.

When is Sega gonna stop messing around and finally just re-release this? 😔

someone could get shot dead on this not because of the typo but because cops are an occupying army looking for a reason

😵‍💫

happy birthday! I got you a heart tattoo on your left boob that gradually loses its color fill whenever you're attacked by dinosaurs

"A dream job is still a job" Wrote about my work history as a succession of Millennial "dream jobs" (Editor-in-Chief! Game Designer!) and how passion does not save you from the grind. With all the layoffs in games right now, writing this felt like mourning a career. www.patreon.com/pattheflip/p...

hi! i am an Eisner, GLAAD, and Lambda nominated comics writer and i want to help YOU write the best comics you can! i am offering script reviews for $150-$300 (sliding scale honor system)! that gets you: - sxript review - hour-long video chats going over it and answering q's please boost!

Among the layoffs was character artist Christiane Meister — a 27-year veteran of Bethesda and (as far as I can tell) one of the longest tenured women in games, period. She worked on Argonians + Khajiit in TES3, horses in TES4 and TES5, Fallout creatures, and more. (cont'd)

Consider also the implications of something like this happening to an Edmonton-area facility and the North Saskatchewan river or any "disposal" aquifer. bsky.app/profile/wolv...

Lately I've been trying to think what is the most recent major thing created that was primarily meant to make people's lives better rather than primarily for profit. Something besides a medicine. I don't know.

Happy birthday to Raffi, born on this day in 1948! One of Canada's most beloved entertainers, he has been delighting Canadians with his music for decades. A multiple Juno Award winner, he has received the Order of Canada, and several honorary degrees. 📸 Paquin Artists Agency

the video is about the quality of fast food but everything feels like this lately

Today, we lost a pillar of #QuebecPopCulture as comedian Marc Messier passed away after a short illness at age 78. Let me tell you about this man’s greatest works. 🧵1/14

This is actually so sad to see. If you finish a short game that quickly, and enjoy it, you should not be refunding it just because you can. The developer deserves to earn the money from the sale of this.

...nah, no. People get to be arrogant about this one. Bro showed up wearing the "Every Domestic Dispute Arrest On 'COPS'" Party City costume OVER his Nazi ink and people said "At least he's not a LIB WOMAN!" People get to "Told ya so" about this. This was EASY MODE and y'all still f---ed up.

British drama school training is the envy of the world and, as more film + TV jobs are moving to the UK, our drama schools are the backbone of a global industry. These cuts are artistic vandalism and economic stupidity.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Hey y'all, I wanted give people a heads-up that Mike Z is still working on the Avatar Legends dev team, for anyone who wanted to know before deciding whether to buy/support the game. (If you don't know who that is or need a refresher, here's the Kotaku article: kotaku.com/workers-leav...)

🚨 NATIONWIDE WARNING: CIA asset David Blaine has gone rogue.

Whether Mitch McConnell is alive or not, the bigger issue is that numerous members of Congress have disappeared due to health issues, been rolled out to legislate while half-dead, ran for new terms while actively dying, and dropped dead in office. This is a necrocracy, from both parties.

YES! Fucking PREACH
