I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

The "Frieren Looking Up" Art Trend attracted some Big Names in Animation! Excited for Season 2?

So so wholesome! I’m a huge proponent of sharing knowledge to help the next generation learn the ropes. No gatekeeping. Also, more of this and less gen ai slop.

Good games are hard enough to make with talented people. My only guess at how this could even remotely work is they just churn out slop and hope one of them hits. And ultimately game devs will just be cleanup for all this garbage.

Hey #drawsteel content creators, I’m looking for a higher lever campaign (lvl 5 or above). Any of you wonderful peeps make one that fits the bill?

The penguins! Honestly, the most fantastical part of Batman Returns was implying that Michelle Pfeiffer’s pre-Catwoman Selena Kyle was even remotely “ugly”. Disbelief NOT suspended.

Sets for Batman Returns were kept very cold for the comfort of the real-life penguins involved. This meant that cast/crew repeatedly got sick during filming. The real-life penguins though would often fall in love with their animatronic counterparts or feel so settled that they began mating.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. . Here’s why, and what you can do if you want to remove this: buff.ly/MlAq0rL

At my last job you were supposed to send an email if you were going to be late. These are some of my late emails.

She’s good at enforcing that work life balance. It’s important to take breaks. And even better if those breaks include playing with her favorite toy 💖

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

So this ad revenue metric is indicative of such a fascinating and weird set of business decisions by Google to inexplicably kill of SEO-- and I honestly don't get how they think this is going to pay off for them in the long run. 🧵 1/

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?

Things don’t just “slip though” in game development. Everything you add has the expectation to make it into the final build. If it’s placeholder, you make it VERY obvious so that people catch it and it doesn’t make it into final game.

re: Bsky staff being AI weirdos, I see this sort of thing a bunch from people who like AI but don't want to outright go all in on public zealotry just because it's invented doesn't mean you gotta use it! Syphilis isn't being uninvented anytime soon but that doesn't mean I'm rushing to get infected

My boomer mother, who has been a lifelong democrat and hated when I was critical of the dems, is on a rampage right now because of this vote and said “you were right.” Gotta hand to them, the Democratic Party are experts at taking any goodwill they’ve garnered and throwing it in the dumpster 👏

Mamdani is going to implement Shar Law. Everyone will have to bow down to the Mistress of the Night, the Lady of Loss, and devote themselves to bringing about a darkness that will smother her hated foe and sister Selûne

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween

Anyone voting on Prop 50 in CA and having a hard time getting to yes because you don't like partisan gerrymandering? Me too. Let me make a personal plea to vote yes from deep in the heart of Texas. I have been anti gerrymandering and trying to stop it- professionally- for 20 years.

you say "i asked chatgpt" i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]" an improv group wrote this report instead of a therapist i use an improv comedy group

Tolkien is not perfect but he did, in fact, hate the fucking Nazis.

In 2025, a monkey commando unit was sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit. These monkeys promptly escaped from a truck to the Mississippi underground. Now, they survive as monkeys of fortune. If you’ve a problem, if no one else can help & if you can find them, maybe you can hire The M-Team.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Excellent rule for life in general, really. Cops are literally trained to manipulate information out of you. And for all the chatter I see about their nefarious, underhanded methods for this, the truth is, most don't need to bother, because a lot of you volunteer that shit willingly.

California peeps! If you haven’t mailed in your ballot yet, do that, or get thee to a pollery!!

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Mamdani says that six years ago, a well-meaning uncle told him that he didn't have to tell people he was Muslim

After decades of intense dental work, my dentist said “Keep up the good work. Thank you for making my job easy.” I passed the test. I will diminish, and go into the West.

we can't get back the men we've 'lost' to these horrific ideologies because we never had them in the first place. it's been 84 years but dorothy thompson still says it best at the end of 'who goes nazi," which you should read if you haven't. the link: harpers.org/archive/1941... . the quote:

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

I’d been putting off making a batch of Salsa Verde cause my brain is an ass. It took maaaaybe 20 minutes with 15 of those just boiling the ingredients. Anyway, I now have delicious salsa and hopefully can surpass this in the future. Link to recipe www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMmnbLXe/

Favorite anime of the season thus far: May I Ask for One Final Thing? Premise: MC is rejected by her prince fiancé after years of dealing with his terrible treatment of her. In response, she proceeds to beat the snot out of him and other abhorrent nobles that supported him.

I'm unsure of what I was most known for on Twitter but I was earnestly working a personal project named Hieron - an existential horror story about four women trapped in a physicalized tulpa after dire egress. I've had to shelve it for now, but am working on something exciting in the interim!

It is time to paint witches!! 🔮🌙

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

I posted that we should remember small town protests in red states and got Well Actuallyed by several people who insisted ______ has suffered more and we should remember them. This isn’t the Oppression Olympics. We need all hands, not just the purest and noblest.

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

If you're unable to attend this protest or future events for medical/disability reasons, please DM me for tips on ways you can help from home!
