I have an artificial mouth and I must scream.

The median American has $8,000 in savings in the bank. In other words, this is like giving the median American an opportunity to make a massive, scandalous crime go away for a fine of $240.

Quick reminder, the Code MENT guy is a far-right crazy person. He unfortunately is also thr Soup Store guy. He recently has tried to rebrand, but his final few videos before said rebranding had messages complaining about economic equality, DEI, et. Also slurs.

I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.

Heartbreaking words from Dr. STONE mangaka Boichi, who decided to stop posting art on X because of the implementation of the GenAI Edit button and who has been so distressed by its hostile, destructive purpose to destroy other artists' works that he hasn't been able to eat properly since Christmas😢

So this year either the Ai bubble will pop or copyright will cease to have any meaning and piracy is legal

The fact PlayStation app saved clips and Switch has a QR code for for uploading vids and photos yet online posting of games dipped 90% after Elon made it impossible to upload to Twitter proved that to me

Kavanaugh has spent months watching masked street thugs brutalize Latinos on TV for the crime of being Hispanic in America, watching the entire Latino population of America turning on his party, and realizing it was all directly attributable to him. I bet he’s wanted to melt into the floor.

Nihilism is a tool of fascism. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. I'm not interested in giving up or hearing cynicism about it. I'm interested in pointing and laughing at their stupidity so more people can point and laugh and hope.

okay but seriously, from Ben Shapiro to Hitler why are so many fascists people who want to be in the arts but are utterly incompetent at it and make that everyone else's problem

Virgin Mario Level Order: Grass World, Desert World, Beach World, Swamp World, Ice World, Lava World, Chad Donkey Kong Country 2 Level order: Pirate World, Lava World, Swamp World, Carnival World, Haunted Swamp World, Prison-Castle World

The only acceptable use for generative AI would be for a Family Guy style cutaway gag in a Deltarune tv show where Spamton just mentioned his failed attempt at being a talk show host and then everyone beats the crap out of him for using AI.

Her experience in editorial is a glorified blog that could never go under due to her backers. Her first act was putting herself in front of the cameras for a special nobody watched. She’s burning the institution to the ground, but that doesn’t make her a Machiavellian arsonist.

yeah I have so many people replying to me like "they don't plan to answer to the voters" I mean of course they don't but their "plan" is, by all appearances, of underpants gnomes level of sophistication. 1) Do crime in public. 2) ??? 3) Never lose power.

I really don't understand who Bari Weiss actually appeals to.

I promise you with absolute 100% certainty that we are not going to lose the House because Dan Goldman gets primaried from the left

@michaelmac6072-art.bsky.social Do you do commissions?

#ArtVsArtist2025 Also Various Stuff done for other creators and games this year :)

i’m just going to assume the 90% of pages that they blacked out is ONLY donald trump

trying to decide if this would be a good or bad idea

Indie Dev discovers the game they're making basically already exists, worried of being deemed a ripoff. Original dev responds.

rob reiner was a good man

quakers are the only christian movement I am aware of that are usually on the right side of any political battle

calvin and hobbes rules and has always ruled because it's not ubiquitous. no toy tie-ins, no cartoons, no official t-shirts or whatever. it relied on the books alone to stay popular and that makes it special. leave bill watterson alone

Yea I'm not 1000% sure if this is calling out someone/something specific; but I'll agree that the near-future of revolutionary organizing is gonna have to grapple HARD with Trumpism effectively co-opting "ideologically-incoherent vandalism" as a 'vibe' and making it a Boomer Bigot thing.

Hahaha ever since Craig of the Creek became the latest victim of Zaslav’s merger bloodbath I haven’t been able to find a steady job. This man has ruined careers, ruined peoples lives, and gets paid MILLIONS for it. Hahaha hahaha

It’s so incredibly important that the next President aggressively prosecute the corruption of this administration, and a great deal of that involves wealthy Californians in tech. You simply cannot trust Newsom to do this work, he is totally beholden to that crowd.

Pirate the series. Make your own physical media. That's the only answer when this happens and they haven't put it out any other way.

One possible flaw in Bari Weiss's plan to remake CBS News in her image is that she is a bad and boring journalist and nobody actually likes her.

I'm giving out this star, so get it while you can folks

As a left wing person this is the side of us I hate. The 'glorious revolution' types who think they've solved problems that have vexed generations and all it requires is human rights to fall silent. I'm left wing because I want decent people to have happy, sustainable futures. Not push doctrine.

yeah this is the part of Nate-style popularism that bothers me the most - the idea that having principles is not smart and not savvy and generally beneath them the result is treating public opinion as immutable because how can you change people’s minds if you don’t believe in anything yourself

THERE WAS LITERALLY AN OLD SCHOOL REVIVAL DURING THE LAST LITTLE WHILE THAT WAS AN UTTER LOVE LETTER TO THINGS LIKE 2ND ED. DND. WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

I have always ALWAYS *ALWAYS* vehemently pushed back against this self-imposed rule that 1 or 2 editorial micromanagement types in comics or publishing decided to randomly inflict on so many artists. There is something to be said for solid composition but pigeonholing creativity ain’t never been it

live your life in a way that your supposed friends and loved ones aren't tearing other to shreds over how best to exploit you before your body is cold

Ms. Rachel is an absolute hero. She’s gotten so much abuse for her extremely compassionate, humane - and in my opinion, common sense - views on children being hurt and killed in Gaza. But she’s not letting that silence her. Bless you Ms. R.  @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social

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.

Though there is no robust scientific literature on the effect of stuffed animals on adult sleep, several studies have shown that plush companions can help adults self-soothe. nyti.ms/4owotLv

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is something physically wrong and cognitively wrong with Trump, he knows it, and he's angry and frightened.

these kinds of videos always prompt a certain Pratchett quote in my brain, from Thief of Time

This is a hot take but I don’t think evil or stupid people should be in charge of things.
