An excellently articulated piece on AI bullshit

I stole this from @emilyhughes.bsky.social and her husband, but one of the most fun things you can do for yourself is, whenever someone mentions a movie they'd like to watch, write it down on a slip of paper, fold it, and put it in a jar. Whenever you need something to watch, pick a slip!

That was an impressive performance from the Seahawks! I thought it’d be a tighter game but man, they steamrolled the 49ers. Curious to see who were playing next week between the Rams and Bears. Either way, #GoHawks!

Sticker Mule continues to be absolute trash, please use StickerApp or any other sticker maker that doesn’t support a domestic terrorism army

Unbelievable that SDCC is going to allow AI-generated artwork in its art show. “The art show fills up fast” it says, but taking away space from actual artists to feature slop is ok? I hope they change their policy on this, but as it stands, it’s a slap in the face to real human artists.

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

What?! The Annie Awards are honoring LightBox Expo with a Special Achievement Award! Who knew that this convention that I co-founded 7 years ago with Bobby Chiu would make such a big impact in the animation world in such a short amount of time? I'm very humbled!

Wise words as always from @realgdt.bsky.social

Evergreen.

I called! The CC website below makes it simple, just leave a voicemail - they count how many people called in! Only call your own reps! If you a mini script: "My name is X calling from X county, I want you to call for the impeachment of Trump for this illegal war against Venezuela. Thank you!"

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Happy New Year! 2025 was a really uneven year, with some great highs and some incredible lows. That said, here’s hoping for a safe, prosperous, and positive 2026 for everyone! The photo is of our traditional Greek βασιλόπιτα (Vasilopita), which we make to celebrate the new year.

Not bad, a few things planned for this year, so hopefully I can live up to it!

Happy New Year from LightBox Expo! We’re more excited than ever for what this next year will bring. We can’t wait to celebrate art and creativity with our amazing community! Here's to an incredible 2026! [Artwork by Kei Acedera]

It's time for the passing year! ✨🌟✨Happy new year!!✨🌟✨ Wishing you the best as always, health and success for you through 2026! Keep it up!

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

I'm back from hiatus and opening 5 Commission slots! First come first serve. I will be raising my prices (as I do every year) January 5th, so this your last chance to get 2025's rate! More examples in replies. Shares appreciated!

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Remember that dingus the other day scolding about how it's pointless to yell at "big companies" about their acceptance or use of AI?

Are these the same companies that told us the robot could do it?

just a collection of "inevitable" multi-billion dollar tech that was going to be the future of everything until everyone in the audience who was supposed to just get on board said "lol no"

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

@xtop.bsky.social sorry I missed chatting with you last night, hope you’re doing well!

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

The cliche that ‘having an idea’ is the hard part of writing is persistent and pernicious. Realising the idea is the craft of it. That FAQ of…

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Just a reminder --

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:
