THIS. There's a few peeps I -used- to be friends with who use genAI. Past Tense. If you use genAI to create "art" for you, you are my enemy. Full stop. Not just because it was never -yours- in the first place, but because you actively harm one of the most important things we have left!

Not surprised that Discord lied, but fucking FURIOUS that they're sending them to a company linked to bloody Peter Thiel. Meaning any data given to Discord is absolutely going to be given to ICE and other similar groups.

BLUESKY, DISCORD AND ITS ALTERNATIVES, YOUR ART SITES, YOUR ADULT SITES, FANFICTION ALL OF IT DIES WITHOUT SECTION 230 GET CALLING #savespeech #stopcensorship #section230 #defendsection230 #defends230

I think this is part of my generation's confusion about AI. We were raised on a culture that warned about these dangers repeatedly -- from WarGames to the Terminator films to the Matrix, and countless other dystopian futures in between -- and now those cautionary tales are being celebrated.

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.

They aren't 'distancing' themselves, actually. This is all we have to infer that by. This is a very inappropriate title meant to have us look the other way and make sure they get our money and info. Unless they stop entirely, fuck Discord entirely.

I appreciate theses bits. ESPECIALLY ACTUAL SALARIED ANIMATORS.

Why not, see if I can get the grey matter working. Ask questions about my characters and I'll see what I can do to answer them: Artwork by: Blondie @arq004sp.bsky.social Aisling @emayai.bsky.social Shardra (Urthy) @thevarking.bsky.social Cathode @drawmadillo.bsky.social

Why am I single? Many reasons but mostly not having this thing hand. But seriously, a sincere Happy Valentines to all yall out there. You are loved even when you don't know it ❤️

"The Royal Winter Venue 2026" Thanks to everyone who participated in the Royal Winter Venue sale! I think the "Compilation sale" idea was a success! 143 characters, from Dec. 1 to Feb. 14, this was a BEAST to work on, but I think it was worth it. Thanks again to everyone who ordered!

Just the best gift for Valentine ever!

Guys, be careful with your Valentine gifts! ;D

Punch kid RULES. Fuck up that Shrinky Dink Nazi

This. Discord is "just following orders" here. They're willingly doing bad things, but the orders are coming from higher up and are directed at more than just them.

When Terry Pratchett died it struck me that our door to the world inside his mind was forever closed. Other people could write Discworld books of course, but they would be their own interpretation - not bad but inherently different. I realised each human mind is a unique, limited resource

bit of a dig on this one, they are doing their face scans using Persona, which if you check their sources for their valuation round of funding, was co-led by the Founders Fund, which is run by Peter Thiel of Palantir. @discord.com do you want to chime in? Money says a different story

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE.

1. They know they stepped in it. 2. They already "determine" our age with the data they already have on us (uh...). 3. This doesn't stop them from being hacked, risking those they do get IDs of. Keep canceling your Nitros and keep complaining to them. We don't trust them with our IDs or faces.

Bring it on.

To the surprise of absolutely fucking nobody. I'm tryin to maintain a community on mine, but I swear to fuck, this surveillance state shit is making me want to gauge the eyes out of every silicon valley CEO. ,,, okay, more than I already did. FFS will you fucking losers cut this shit out already?

It is kind of validating that every horrible person ever seems to be on that list.

They haven't reversed, Keep up the pressure #discord

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

Simple fact is this: If you’re a member of the “gender critical” movement, you’re part of a pedophile ring whether you want to be or not.

people want a Zelda movie to be "what if Ocarina of Time was LotR" when what it should be is an 80-minute anime OVA released in the early 90's with the weirdest plot you've ever seen and at least one original character who was so endearing that it physically hurts they aren't in any of the games

We take shortcuts for these sort of things

The kids actually made animals that don't exist. The AI just put a bunch of stuff that already exists together into a polished slop blender. You can't get a better illustration of why AI can't create anything new while human creativity is bottomless.

Words of wisdom from weird Al!

In light of the Discord news, don't forget to make your calls. When calling your House Rep, also mention these bills: KOSA SCREEN Act COPPA 2.0 RESET Act Sammy Act App Store Accountability Act GAMING Act Safe Messaging for Kids Act Parents over Platforms Act Sunset to Reform Section 230 Act (1/6)

It's so cool how a bunch of kids realized there was a genocide in the middle east in 2023 and now suddenly every major company and government is tripping over their own dicks to turn the world into an Orwllian surveillance state so that never happens again.

Using this as a new reaction image for when some game industry higher up suggests using Gen AI as a tool in the art pipeline

YALL KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS UP CALI! oag.ca.gov/contact/cons...

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.

Guys, dont immediately jump ship. Complain on Discords forums. Spam their emails. Make noise. We'll never tackle the overlying problem if we just keep jumping ship. Discord is easy to bully out of doing shit. We've made them stop doing NFT shit. We can stop them taking ID's. :)

Death nail. They will walk it back by not requiring verification if you subscribe to nitro, and no less.

If you haven’t already ended your Discord Nitro, consider it now They’re only going to listen to, and act on, our outrage if the money starts drying up

Funny how in the UK the Epstein files are tearing down the government because just 1 government official was involved. But in the US it seems like their entire government is in there and yet... crickets. People bash the UK but at least we dont stand for that sort of thing by the looks of it

Throwback to something worth repeating.

Hang it in the Louvre

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

If you’re not in the mood to watch the Super Bowl, but don’t want to be left out of the football talk you’re about to hear, then here’s an alternative for you. youtu.be/OfIn_imcHmU?...

Blessing your timelines with the opening from The Muppet Show revival special, because we all deserve a little happiness right now.

Please continue to call your representatives about these bad internet bills! www.badinternetbills.com

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

f@#$ yeah that's the stuff
