"People will cut off family over politics, it's so silly"
Is it? Is not wanting to associate with people who will do Olympic-tier mental gymnastics to justify/dismiss exhaustively documented child rape silly, now?
I say cut 'em off, and let 'em know why. That's some shit they deserve to sit with.
This is well put. So *many* technologies are joyous and progressive. The web was invented in a PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITY! It is, in fact, an aberration that the fascist VCs think they're the default with their approach to tech. They were only ever supposed to be a tiny fraction of the ecosystem.
We are SO CLOSE to $6,000 (and 33% funded!!!) over on Sleeping Wizards! Who's up for an adventure??
...or maybe a commission from @johannamation.bsky.social ? :D

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...
For those w/ social anxiety, calling this late at night means there's virtually no chance you have to worry about talking to an actual person. Take your time, write out what you want to say, call, read your script, and hang up.
If that's too much, all reps and senators have contact forms. Use them.
hey @larianstudios.com why're you using ai for the foundations of your next game???? shameful and embarrassing, a slap in the face to the artists who made bg3 as successful as it is
screenshot of a tumblr post from user βwildmanstersβ The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.
i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM
Good things are possible and we donβt have to settle.
Yes, impact matters over intent, but for that to apply the person has to first have DONE something besides...be who they are.
If your reaction to a Muslim dude from Uganda is automatically "this man is unsafe," that's a YOU problem. You're doing that to YOURSELF.

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.
I wanted to share a few thoughts recent discussions around CGEβs decision to partner with JKR for their upcoming @codenamesgame.bsky.social game have prompted. Thankful to those who spoke early to this issue (Marceline, Tiffany, @nopunincluded.com et al) for helping this get the needed attention.
"Why do you care about the NYC Mayoral race? You live in Chicago."
Because the democratic establishment sucks, billionaires suck, landlords suck, Andrew Cuomo sucks, and if there's anything you need to know about me: I won't miss an opportunity to hate on a mf.

A robot eats chocolate and their friend asks if they should be eating it. The robot says no. Then cries "I want to be human." The friend says "Oh dear."
It's that time of year, again! It's #makeaterriblecomicday2025 So here is a truly terrible comic from my truly last-minute-attempt π€£π€
