I'm writing a lot about "AI" today so as compensation please accept this picture of Spice the cat being so very over my apparent enthusiasm about whatever it is I am enthusiastic about

Obviously The Nipples of Grimdark would be a tale set in the hostile yet alluring Grand Teton-like mountains of Kwee'Glan (which translated out of Kweeish means "The Grim, Dark Land"), where our young hero must travel to battle the hot yet evil Queen Mam, who inevitably admires his, uhhhh, spunk

I've slapped together approximately 173 pages of material that aims to teach programming a personal website with HTML and CSS to artists, animators, writers, music producers, etc. F*ck It, Let's Make a Website Part 1 is now live ✨ Go here to read: bit.ly/filmawPartOne More info below 👇

History repeats and rhymes

Ted Chiang: "The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write [...]. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning."

YO! There are playable test rules of the third and final Cyberrats book! Check it out here!

The other thing is that it is impossible to sanitize your own official language to satisfy right wingers, because their goal is to be upset by language. So they will just dig up an old Tumblr or fabricate something to get upset about

@neomonsterisland.com You come across this one yet? 🤭

...not wrong. I also have an interest in geology, so I know there's a LOT of minerals that shouldn't be licked. Again, not wrong.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but news / social media—especially when constant, chaotic, and unfiltered—can hit our brains like a DDoS attack: overload attention, flood emotions, and make it hard to think clearly. It’s okay to step back and curate what you let in. Your mental uptime matters.

'All the mistakes you make are investments in the skill you are mastering' is wild motivational, actually...

Twisted Kaiju Theater #466: Godzilla Got DOGE'd IX 1/3 I hope you got to take time for yourself today. Everything is NOT normal, and that's okay. If you are disturbed by the world burning down around us, you're still human. And I'm here for all of you. #Godzilla #TwistedKaijuTheater #Kaiju

CIS is the culmination of almost 5 years of design on Cyberrats. It's the stuff from the first game clarified and refined. It's the best of the BB expansion, extended into razor sharp points just sharp enough to draw blood. It's a perfect blend of tactics and strong narrative beats, served whole.

OK but nobody really needs ChatGPT. Just ask me anything and bunneh will happily generate confident sounding nonsense... at a fraction of the resource consumption! Hell, half the time, I don't even remember to drink water.

People don't believe me when I say I am a sex positive toy photographer #Godzilla

Thanks for the reminder, Gazlowe (Audio is from a clip by Northernlion)

Some encouragement for your troubling day #Godzilla

If you can't buy from your local artist or support their Patreon or Ko-Fi, share their work or give them an encouraging reply!

It's kind of weird that I'm more eligible to be the next Pope than Trump is.

Say it with me: Fuck AI, Fuck AI Users, Fuck Off.

Good night, everyone #Godzilla

Kicking around thoughts for the cyberrats comic I got permission to make, and there's something that really grabs me about the idea that the average rat-mutant of the corpo future is just personally deeply unpleasant to interact with.

"The fight is not about winning. Instead, it's about resisting the AI industry further decaying the Internet with tech that no one asked for..." This is good old-fashioned monkey-wrenching as practiced by the Earth Liberation Front, but Online.

Older cartoonists prolly heard of R Cobb, but I’m sure some youngin’s haven’t. These were all made in the 60s, and yet, are sadly still relevant.

So to all the new followers, here are some Kaiju fans you should follow who aren't openly red pill bigots and you would think I would not need to preface that but roll me in blackberry butter and call me an Emerald Thursday here we are. go.bsky.app/CBT6GaC

I still really love Gritty, I love that when he was unveiled, Philadelphia was like, "What the fuck", the world replied, "Yeah, what the fuck" and then Philadelphia said, "Hey, don't you talk that way about our Gritty"

I wrote this in June 2023 a year or so after I tried to get mainstream outlets to cover the story. Haven’t been this angry about the collective failure of our society to properly address antisemitism in quite a while.

We are going to have to be the movement we want to see to survive.

Even dunking on them burns up resources and spreads their engagement.

Merry Crimbus, ya silly boogers.

Since healthcare and insurance are in the news right now, let me offer a piece of layman's advice. 🧵

I think most of us could smell that crypto wasn't the end of it, then NFTs, then AI, now there's literally nothing left to jump to and we're genuinely the last domino to fall in what's already been the start of a globally synchronized down turn. And people will still say "We couldn't see it coming"

Not even in your home games, people. Not even in your cute reels and TikToks. Keep this crap out of the hobby.

Yeah this is why I'd rather just keep wrestling the devs and being annoying "Tumblr Users vs Automattic"-style than just pack up and leave. We used to not have mod tools. We were so annoying that the devs gave us mod tools and Jack Dorsey got mad and left.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...
