a plottwist I didn't see coming was observing all the k-pop fans flock towards F1 in some kind of marketing genius trick of rebranding the most alpha-masc hobby into a hobby for all genders ... has anybody made a video essay on this yet ??

Cyber Monday is here and deals are going fast! These deals are diaphanous. They are receding even as we speak, becoming mere memories of deals, prices longed for but lost, hints at what could have been had for less. A golden slant of sun through window falls on an empty countertop. Act now.

The messiness of Consume Me is one of the things I admire most about it. You kinda expect its themes to neatly coalesce, to get closure on all the threads it starts, but it chooses to be true-to-life rather than neatly wrap up.

oooh. Bookmarking this! "How to turn off AI tools in Apple, Google, Microsoft, and more." Step-by-step instructions from Consumer Reports.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Now's the time to call up Visa/MC to ask 'hey, how come you guys will pay for ChatGPT and Twitter subs but I can't buy certain games off of Steam?' Because I frankly would LOVE an answer to that...

‼️ REMOVE AIslop from your PINTEREST results.‼️ Let's see how true this is.... 1. Go to ‘Refine your recommendations’ and remove everything related to ‘generative AI interests’. (As if anyone who visits the site for reliable references would be interested in that...)

PC-HAVING HORSE PPL, UNITE 🐎💨 (as I am watching from the sidelines, as I am tragically lacking the former attribute ...)

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.) Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

I wish any British politician would say anything even half as good as this

Share your couples art! One of the things I like to draw the most.... 😭💚

The idea of the IDF using royalty free assets (meant to help artists build out scenes for concept art etc) for genocide is so sickening.

I was on a vc with some other artists and we had the thought "what if we tried to doodle sexy watto" and all it took was 4 artists posting to bluesky seemingly independently of one another for dozens of people to join in and for it to become trending. I think artists have more pull than they realize

Oh god, it’s worse. This is Open Ai dictating to the studios they can “opt out” of OUTPUTS. This isn’t even about the training, as Open Ai thinks it’s all theirs to use for free. The hubris of these thieves is just obscene. I can’t see them not getting sued for this, it’s just that ridiculous.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.
