Seems the news has broken out so I'm gonna take the time to voice that yes, it's true that the Odd1s team was retired.
Now more than ever I'd like y'all to please support my coworkers β€οΈβ€οΈ This came as a shock & they deserve ALL the support.
Here's a thread to all their work π½
AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.
The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

The only superhero content Iβll get excited about
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. Itβs often said you never know when youβre living through history, so let me assure you: thatβs whatβs happening now.
Why the fuck does a driver's license need a sex marker on it in the first place
it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying βthis doesnβt matterβ to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to βtrans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail timeβ in 10 years.
If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

What's that you say!
It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women.

Now that the Adobe debacle has started to die down, please donβt forget about the animators. There are a lot of crafts, including animation, that have gotten the shit end of the stick during bargaining for decades. My craft is dying. We need more in house animation.
Someone has a year to buy the code for Adobe Animate, make it open source like Blender, and really do something worthwhile in this world.
I remember howling about subscription-based software when they first pulled this Creative Cloud shit and here we are.
It needs to be made illegal.
To be able to say, "Oh, you never really owned your access to things you built." is the peak of corporate greed. Enough is enough!
Adobe Customer Support: 800-915-9428
Their phone line is, obviously, pretty backed up. But I think it's worth registering your displeasure as a customer when a company just decides that work you've done over a decade is going to become completely inaccessible at their whim.
Huzzah!
Reminder hereβs some adobe alternatives, Because FUCK ADOBEβ¦.
Define "valuable."
I would argue this conglomeration of brain rot and parasitic tax evasion is valuable to one person, and to everyone else, it is a fucking nightmare hole into which money vanishes for no good purpose.
βScreenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: βNavigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18β25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.β Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text βTRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.β The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a βLearn Moreβ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.β
If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
My folks and I are almost done with our rewatch of Schittβs Creek. Catherine OβHara brought so much heart to the show through her performance as Moira Rose, making it one of my favorite shows of all time. May she rest in peace π
Like I just graduated with a BFA in animation, and the fact I even need to think about worrying that the last 4 years of my life having been for nothing makes me absolutely furious.
I've volunteered for Second Harvest Heartland a lot, they're a real one. Remember cash is always best to donate for food banks because they can bulk order food at a way better rate than we can buy at grocery stores.
Once again, itβs Derry Girls. To wrap up the story of the girls and bring in the vote for peace? Lisa McGee is incredible.
from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.
