Just your reminder that if you do not train an AI model, you just don't train an AI model, and if you do not feed a human, that's murder and you're evil.

Excellent! π
In LA, community organizing has played a major role in slowing ICE down. Here are the strategies I saw while I was there.
Note: This is a shorter cut of a longer video thatβs available on my other socials. All of which can be found here: linktr.ee/kevinfoster
Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.
Photograph of a silvereye, a small Australian bird in green, grey, brown, and white, surrounded by red and orange maple leaves.
Photograph of a very small jumping spider looking at the camera with its big round eyes.
Digital painting of an 18th century topsail schooner sailing rough seas at sunset. A large dragon is soaring in the distance.
Digital painting of a pale woman in Dia de los Muertos inspired makeup, manipulating strands of vile water to puppet the undead.
It's my birthday which means I get to shamelessly ask for reposts!
I'm David and I'm an odd mix: Amateur wildlife photographer, digital artist (3D and painting), bird-nerd, spider-liker, word-writer, and dungeon-master.
I'm vehemently anti-AI and live in the lower Blue Mountains, west of Sydney AU.
a medieval-style digital art piece. In the center, thereβs text reading βLet this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair.β written in black gothic script, with a colorful blue, pink, and green dragon hanging upside down acting as the capital L. There is also a smaller red, blue, and yellow dragon as a filler at the end of the text. Thereβs a thin, blue and white border around the edges.
anyway, in the wise words of @prisonculture.bsky.social :
Itβs like these people donβt know what gerrymandering and voter suppression is. And have zero empathy for people living in a bubble and being lied to continuously by our very lopsided media.
My new campaign is the βmake ICE agents so demoralized they quitβ campaign.
I got a nicely printed flyer in the mail from one of Cuomoβs PACs about Mamdani defunding the police and raising taxes and was like βsounds good to me!β π
a photo of a kid dressed in a snazzy suit standing outside next to his pittie companion. the two look ecstatic to be in each others company
the duo now lays on a carpet enjoying each others company. Waylon is letting out a big yawn as Cai watches lovingly
Waylon and Cai are now standing outside playing tug of war with a red toy
Cai the human sits on the couch as he explores the internet. Waylon is nestled into his lap without a worry in the world
This is Waylon. He'd been in a shelter for 95 days when a woman came in with her son Cai. Cai asked so many great questions about how to keep him safe and healthy. When he returned to officially adopt Waylon, he arrived in a very dapper suit, saying it was a "special occasion." 14/10 for everybody
Awesome! Also, I'm going to acknowledge that my brain popped out a film noir-y voice that said "Gam Goals". Why brain? Why? π€¦π
βIn traditional patronage back in the day, a wealthy individual would be like, βHey, Mozart, I like what youβre doing over there. Hereβs some money, keep doing that. Love you man!β This kind of thing still happens in classical music [β¦] just not so much in TV, film, or video games.β
I absolutely love that. There is so much good banter.
Oh this was excellent. DATV was my game of the year last year and I have played it fully twice. Probably in my top five games. It was definitely a balm end of last year too. π @wordcountess.bsky.social
It's an excellent piece from Gutter Editor Emeritus @wordcountess.bsky.social on Dragon Age, especially Dragon Age: Veilguard, and how no one is free until everyone is free. culturalgutter.com/2025/05/22/t...
Working on that job app grind today so I can play tomorrow and over the weekend.
Want to work with me or have a lead on remote work? Open to any time zone. I have a doctorate, my experience is fun and vast, and Iβm a quiet but fun coworker to have.
DM me if you have a lead! Shares appreciated. π€
I hope you enjoy it all a lot!
You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).
Late but want to say that I am so grateful for DATV and the work you and the team did on it. It has permanent residence in my heart. Also read Tevinter Nights and loved it. Some excellent Lovecraftian horror nods in there along with just a deep fondness for DA overall. Thank you. π
This may of interest to folks! The people involved include @kissane.bsky.social of The Covid Tracking Project (which was vital for so many of us when there was minimal information) and many others doing awesome things! Worth keeping an eye on and maybe volunteering if you have the bandwidth.
I loved when they released an entire trailer with these outfits. π
Watching Leverage: Redemption season 3 finally. Itβs like a warm hug, with the downfall of fictional but familiar evil rich people as a bonus. Episode two is cracking me up. π
A reminder to NYC folks: donβt rank Eric Adams or Cuomo, AND fill all five spots with other candidates.
This was so heartwarming when I read it a few days ago. Also those young people are awesome.

Oof. Well, you now have all these projects completed! So, ha!
Lol. What. I know so many extroverts who are successful writers.
Sometimes you just need a little aquarium moment.
PANEL 1: A GUY behind the wheel of a car. He squints. A speech bubble comes from an earbud in his ear. GUY: Huh that's weird. VO: What's up? PANEL 2: The GUY looks baffled. GUY: Oh, everyone outside is flipping me off and booing? GUY: I'm just a normal guy, going to work! PANEL 3: A shot of the car from the outside at a stop sign. It's got a big middle finger on the top, and a huge sign on top of it that says FUCK EVERYONE WHO IS NOT ME! A GUY ON THE SIDEWALKis giving it a thumbs down. PANEL 4: The GUY, crying. GUY: Why are they being so mean to me?!

Related to the last repost. Also for NYC folks. The thread has a bunch of the very good points from the article.
