🎨 Finished Shiny Furret Adoptable for @jameswastakenalot.bsky.social~! #pokemorph #shiny #bara #musclegut #dilf #furret

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

✊

“Supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort” is a great argument against cringe culture.

With video of another street execution from ICE going around, a reminder that while video documentation of atrocities is important, you have no ethical obligation to watch videos of people dying. Traumatizing yourself isn’t advocacy. You do not have to watch the video to be outspoken against this

*has sex with you in a way that both advances the plot and reinforces the themes of your narrative arc*

Castlevania Nocturne but Alucard knows speedrun strats 🦇 ------ Script/Editing/Alucard VA - Me! #Castlevania #CastlevaniaNocturne #SymphonyoftheNight #Alucard

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...

democrats have strategically decided that their midterm chances improve if they deny that the woman murdered yesterday had a wife

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

oh i had this realization once

“bsky is boring!” 1) good 2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment 3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it 4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands 5) read book 6) walk outside

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

Finally trying out this game since it’s free today What I love so far: 💬 Vast possibility space due to genius feat of design. ✒️ Writing is incredible! What I don't like: 🙄 Do we really need another grimy detective story? 👨 I'm playing as a generic middle aged white man again, urgh.

To the influx of artists and people about to join in from another stupid move by shitty bird app, actually use this place. Genuinely, if you just make an account and leave, then there's no point. Try to post here whenever you can.

Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears. Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

You mean he got his jaw broken and pissed off a bunch of gamblers? This rules

As said of old:

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

Hey, instead of yelling at people about not using Alt text, if it's really important with you, post the alt text in comments. Accessibility is important, yes, but let's not forget that people have different levels of energy to provide them. It is not always malicious intent.

🎨 @jameswastakenalot.bsky.social's new Hisuian Samurott-influenced Pangoro, now a Warden of Chi-Yu. #pokemorph #anthro #muscular #pangoro

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS. Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

no idea

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

He got a LOT of shit for this tweet years ago but I agree with him he's fucking right

Oh you're gonna need SO many mods to fix the next game

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.

"The games industry in particular is at the intersection of entertainment and tech...there are a lot of connections between the games industry and the genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people." kotaku.com/no-games-for...

What a great headline
