Looks like the Sony PR team has begun its consent manufacturing operation among the media in the past 24 hours. I wonder how many other gaming outlets and influencers this week will also happen to put up posts/articles/videos declaring that eliminating physical media from consoles is good, actually?

Happy bikini day! #ビキニの日 #bikiniday

Big if true

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

In the 4 years since Roe v Wade was overturned there have been over 400 pregnancy related prosecutions. Maternal mortality is up 33% nationwide and 50% in some states. We are being criminalized and murdered. That’s the legacy of Dobbs

So...if you went to Otakon in the early 2010s you probably remember the Iced Cold Water guy who would sing his banger of a song while selling Ice Cold Waters for Only 1 Dollar. I just learned he passed away earlier this year.....shit www.charleslstevensfuneralhome.com/obituaries/j...

Today's words of wisdom.

Recent watercolor commission of a delightfully adorable mlp oc. 💕 @ari.arinoblewrites.com #mlp

I tell people at cons that to stick with drawing or any kind of art, you need two things: 1) have so much fun you can’t stop 2) train yourself to have a high frustration tolerance If you have 1 and not 2, you won’t improve. If you have 2 and not 1, it’s a miserable chore. Then I show them this:

Chicagoans will see this and say "hell yeah"

Mangroves, vital for protecting coastlines and storing carbon, are making an unexpected comeback due to increased legal protections and public awareness of their importance. Since 2010, the rate of mangrove loss has slowed down, with more forests being restored than destroyed.

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

Reskeet if its Friday and you did your besht

This is so true

This woman is facing a copyright claim for her own music by an AI company that took her youtube page and copied her.

Trying to explain to a coworker what being aromantic means, and he says "so, it means you're... dull?" Like where tf did you get THAT from?! lmao Gotta give him grace, tho. Still a lot of folks like him who've never heard of the aromantic spectrum before. Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week!

Long before the term existed, Star Trek's heart was "woke" & even though that word has been hijacked & made a cudgel to insult, to ridicule & - at the toxic extremes of social media - to justify prejudice & racism, Star Trek's heart is strong & still beating for those listening

We're officially about *One Month* away from the submission deadline for Pop Off! To the Stars! compilation album and art zine! We look forward to your creations! ✨ (Wonderful art by @cosmickeyframe.bsky.social ! ) Join the server: discord.com/invite/KNRyW... Submission info in quoted!

I don't want gen AI in my software I don't want gen AI in my phone I don't want gen AI in my email I don't want gen AI in my recipes I don't want gen AI in my safety documentation I don't want gen AI in my schools I don't want gen AI in my healthcare I don't want gen AI in my life

I am asking, no, begging y’all to start accurately filtering your nsfw. The number of times I have been flashbanged by someone reposting animated dick while in public when my settings are already set to “warn for adult content”. 💀 There is no algorithm to punish you for making nsfw, so please……

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

@natsu-kashii-vt.bsky.social Xmas is coming and It's summer where I am, and an idea occurred to me that I couldn't ignore #DrawNatsu

There's been more Lil Crabs crawling out of the sand recently, so I thought I'd reintroduce myself! If you like nostalgia, you've found the right island~ 🏝️ Some games I ❤️ are Banjo-Kazooie, Ganbare Goemon, Monster Rancher, Magical Drop, Tokimeki Memorial and Fumito Ueda games!

Derpy wishes y'all a very happy Christmas! Mele Kalikimaka everyone ੧(❛ ᗜ ❛✿)੭ #mlpart

Happy holidays, @ternoxgames.com

Merry Christmas from my OC Solar!! 🎅

Thank you for 1K subs! 🎊 To have so many of you supporting me in my first year of streaming is a dream come true. You Lil Crabs are making this deserted island feel like paradise~ 🏝️ Hibis-KISS! 🌺💋 Art: @bubblebeast1202.bsky.social

I got banned from Ko-Fi for THIS drawing. It’s absolutely not “tHe MoSt eXtReMe NsFw aCcOuNtS.” You and your community are being attacked.

I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Checking my day planner.

The CDs I got last weekend from @halfwaythruomega.bsky.social @melodybrony.bsky.social and @ari.arinoblewrites.com have been a great soundtrack to all my roadtripping this week.

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap. We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing. We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

Get ready for an expressive Live2D #Vtuber model inspired by the iconic retro anime style of Satoshi Urushihara! 🌺 Debuting Saturday, December 13th at 6PM CST on YouTube! 🏝️ 🎨 Art: @sirknightbot.bsky.social 🔧 Rig: @jellimonslime.bsky.social #Vtubers #VtuberEN

Only 14 away from 1K?! I... I just debuted in February. 😳

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

I just backed My Little (Pet) Pony Enamel Pins - 2.0! on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/gob... FYI there is less than 15 hours left. Now's your chance to jump on this campaign and buy one (or more) of these adorable enamel pins from my good, dear friend @gobiraptor.bsky.social

I never thought a "YouTube poop" style text post would make me lose it laughing but there it is

"i can't believe you don't like that politician just because you disagree over ~one single thing~" & then the one single thing is whether minorities should have human rights

If you consider yourself a feminist and genuinely believed all the sports and bathroom nonsense was a real issue, congratulations on being played like a cheap kazoo.

I wish a very happy “fuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either This is why we fight for *everyone*

Made it back home from @trotcon.bsky.social ! Thank you to all of the attendees and staff for the AWESOME weekend! First pony convention in years. I missed you guys...🫶🏾💜
