the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

60 workers at Ubisoft’s studio in Halifax, Nova Scotia voted to form a union. In response, Ubisoft announced it was closing the entire studio. Maybe it’s time to look into the millions they get in public money for operating in Canada.

Heya folks. If you need a distraction from... everything, we got you covered: share.transistor.fm/s/6a7eb34a

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

As my mom would always say when I was a kid and we were playing Pac-man together: "It's gna-ga gna-ga time". "Gna-ga" is the sound of the small spheres Pac-man eat in the arcade game, according to her. lmfaooo

Was putting mail together for the post office, a secretary brought more and apologized, thinking she was giving me more work. Told her not to worry, all I had to do was add it to the pile I was assembling, and the quick flourish I gave it made her laugh & hopefully not worry about it in the future.

This is the plain truth.

For the record: Black lives still matter. Trans rights are never not human rights. Abolish ICE. Civil rights are not pie; just because someone else is getting more does not mean you’re getting less. I will not budge on these positions, even as I acknowledge I still have blind spots of my own.

I need to get my mind out of this dire place the state of the world is putting it in. Help a fellow out by giving him something more fun to think about. And reply to me if you want a favorite character from a specific category.

Of course I had to commemorate the public domain status of Dizzy Dishes and that certain singer with the curls and the black dress. I've been using dark backgrounds a lot lately...

Following marginalized voices makes you smarter and better informed than a million hours of consuming any Murdoch-owned news media.

“Whats your favorite thing that was made by an absolute c*nt?” Man... being a pro wrestling fan and trying to reconcile the sheer c*ntery within it and its history can be enough to make me lose consciousness from overstraining my brain.

If you need a reason not to enlist, there's many.

Trump's conducting illegal kill campaigns and military raids and 7 of the 47 Senators in opposition just voted to confirm a Trump nominee to the Pentagon. We can dream of what it will take to change the party eagerly cheering the killing, but a good first step would be opposition from the opposition

PLEASE everyone do this. It’s so easy. Send a letter to Congress in only 2 minutes!! Tell them to DO THEIR JOBS and keep Trump in check!!! Pass it on. 🙏

I just called both my senators and my house rep. Will probably call again on Monday just to have a better chance of speaking to a person and telling them to hang in there. ESPECAILLY Schumer's interns, they're probably getting hell over his continued inability to reconcile his heart with reality.

I want to thank all our guests on the podcast last year! @toonheadsfanatic.bsky.social, @atariarchive.org, @zorilita.bsky.social, @marchalem1995.bsky.social, @tallguyschmidt.bsky.social, @bakertoons.com (twice!!) @northernbellerogue.bsky.social, @justintoner.bsky.social, and Cary Woodham!

Hey, sugar~💚

bye 2025👋

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

Every time my DM says he uses ChatGPT for a small detail when he has a wealth of creative friends to just, you know, ASK, a part of me dies inside. If I hear him reference it again I might just blow my freaking stack.

I feel like we’ve gone quite a few rounds of “this guy is unfortunately not the guy you want him to be,” and it never really sticks.

Maybe the best pie gag ever. #comedy

Share a great female villain

Been waiting a LONG time for this one, it feels like!

Share a cartoon you will always love

MY entry into this ecellent Peanuts Collab. Would you believe Peanuts was a big influence in creating Port Able? This was really fun for me to draw (and thrown in a reference to another old comic strip I like), I highly recommend everyone go check out the other entries too. They're great!

My piece for @peanutscollab.bsky.social. #PeanutsReillustrated #PeanutsCollab

My entry for #peanutsreillustrated to celebrate the strip's 75th anniversary! I still to this day can't believe Peanuts of all strips made a joke like this, and it makes me laugh every time. @peanutscollab.bsky.social

I haven’t looked out for the icy patch all month, and that’s a problem.

Don't have much to say about the Avengers: Doomsday teaser other than I liked that Steve Rogers named his motorcycle after the insult comic dog

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Chun-Li "YATTA!" ✌️✨

MeTV Toons had an incredible year and picked up a LOT of shows and shorts, many of which haven't been seen in decades. And if Jerry Beck is saying we ain't seen nothing yet, I believe him. They've been making this the better cartoon channel and they're securing the future. Still want to see it.

Amidst talk about Wham-ageddon and Mariah defrosting after Halloween, there's a darker thought about Christmas songs I had lately. The Jackson 5's "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" takes a terrifying turn when Michael says he's going to tell his dad, if you know what kind of dad Joe Jackson was.

It would be amazing if someone remastered these and aired or streamed them. I’ve only found bootleg DVDs of this series. Would love to see this again along with the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon.

I mean… nothing else seems to be getting the Darkstalkers another game, right? @thorgisarcade.bsky.social might get a good laugh out of this.
