Guys, I think I cracked the code

Gargoyles had a solid fanbase when it was airing. But over thirty years later, its greatest legacy lies in it being proof that if you tell kids stories in a way that respects their ability to comprehend not only plot but sincere emotion, they'll embrace your work forever.

Remember that part in The Good Place where they figure out it’s impossible to get into heaven because literally anything you do traces back to some sort of net-negative bad thing? Oh, no reason, just thinking out loud.

yes thank you the sexually suggestive tag is so stupid when it is an automatically applied label to a concept that is inherently subjective

I hate this tag so much. Is it sexy because I have an ass?? I can't make my ass smaller. Is it sexy because I have a belly showing? If I was wearing a bathingsuit on a beach would it automatically be sexy because I exist??? These auto tags make me nuts.

for example: "If by banning NSFW content you mean protecting children, then I’m for it! But if by banning NSFW content you mean forcing artists to paint everyone wearing mittens, then I’m against it!" Point being you can only either be for or against banning, no matter how you characterize it.

Between this and Sabrina doing a similar thing it is VERY CLEAR which pop stars are aware of The Moment right now and are rising to the occasion and which ones don't give a shit

The vibe I bring to the function

My gurl!!!

This is why "you have to learn to work with it" and "adapt" are such bullshit talking points. There is no incentive for a small business like this to support this tech, the end purpose is to steamroll them

Remember those times i said we were headed for an epistemic crisis because bad people were gonna use deepfakes to make propaganda & conspiracy theories & destabilize consensus reality-making & how the central paradigm of "generative AI" enables, encourages, & was indeed built on this premise? Yeah.

"why are games so expensive" "why are mass layoffs happening" "why are games getting cancelled" "why did that popular studio close" it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.

There was absolutely no need to use AI slop for this article.

The cherry on top will be when he refuses to pay the contractors responsible for this, until they agree to take 30 cents on the dollar and have to declare bankruptcy.

National Guardsman Awakes Screaming From Nightmare About Americans Going About Daily Lives

I love how denigrating Muslims is absolutely fine right now. I can't see him posting an AI video of someone in a yarmulke stealing. The outrage would be immediate and intense. I guess we're not people in his eyes since he feels fine about tearing us down.

Uhhh is that supposed to be idris elba????

Oh man, I would NOT want to be on the receiving end of Idris Elba’s lawyers’ ire.

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.” Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

The Gamer was pretty much the *only* outlet willing to stick their neck out for us adult game makers. Their coverage was invaluable in getting the word out about payment processor censorship 😥

oh okay put cuomo in jail

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

This feels like it went under the radar a bit re public alarm - why are *ICE* stockpiling guided missiles? An agency that only operates domestically?

I've been reading the IDW Sonic comics and, firstly, holy shit I knew the writer was GOATed but this is amazing, but secondly, I do worry, now being 31 issues into the series (immediately after the end of the metal virus saga), that it will just get more&more bleak as they try to rebuild again&again

A reminder all: GO TO JURY DUTY WHEN YOU ARE SUMMONED Yes it is disruptive of schedules but these days, juries need you

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

NFTs are amazing because you apparently “own” them but the AWS outtage yesterday took out everyones apes lol

The kids are all right

Blaze The Cat is the best Sonic character, that is all.

as a 23 year old I can confirm that this is true. except the 30 part. will update when I am 30.

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

Question for fans of #Hades2 do you think Melinoe would get Moros pregnant or Moros would get Melinoe pregnant?

Hades fanbase... are we okay? This is kinda a lot XD ... MOAR

I don't know how many times this needs to be posted, but clearly it is MANY TIMES. Sigh.

Ginger Snaps 2000

Chuck Dixon created Bane. I don't bring this up to argue that creating that character somehow negates his current behavior, but to talk about a problem very prevalent in comics. And that is bigoted people making bank off the very marginalized groups they later demonize and discredit.

Up to date! Really cool manga, glad its doing well. Took to it much more once it got out of the overly-speedy introductory arcs that every battle manga seems to suffer from these days #IchiTheWitch
