Is Kickstarter pretty much dead for actually kickstarting independent creative projects? It seems like it's mostly used as a marketing tool at this point?

Remember that when AI stole your shit, Big Publishing did not fight for your copyright.

This should cause an immense shift in author/publisher dynamics because it's huge.

And yet...

Kit Harington is acting his ass off in Industry

You probably have 4 or so golden productive hours On a good day and pushing to do more will make them golden hours less and less till they are all burnt out. At that point you going slow to not a my all and that’s not fair on yourself.

Ok Wonderman was great

You can completely uninstall/disable copilot on Windows. Your system and local search will run faster afterward. www.howtogeek.com/how-to-rip-o...

“what cool shit can I do as Mayor? oh, I can marry people? awesome, let’s do it”

once again the constant theme of “New York is great, New Yorkers are great, isn’t this great?” comes through

Wait Wonder Man is....really good

Oh man, why would you put this in my head.

How do I get a job making animatics and color scripts of trailers for movies that don't exist

This is beautiful

Graphic excitedly announcing a campaign milestone, showcasing a photo of Kat bursting with glee. The graphic copy says: WE JUST PASSED $3,000,000 RAISED! How? [arrow to go to next slide graphic]

Follow-up graphic, showcasing another excited photo of Kat. The graphic copy says: POWERED BY MORE THAN 57,000+ GRASSROOTS DONORS, 8,700+ JUST IN ILLINOIS! And we did all of this with almost no call time.. instead talking directly to voters on livestreams, $220,000+ RAISED ON STREAM!

We just passed $3 million raised, powered by 57,000+ grassroots donors with an average gift of $31.

This campaign is built by people, not the ultra rich or special interests like AIPAC.

You decide who Congress answers to.

People in tech love the word heuristic.

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.

whoa holy shit!

Wait what do you mean? I was talking about the feature in Clip Studio Paint or Photoshop where you can record a combination of commands/actions and then set a button or keybind for it.

I could really use Auto Actions in Storyboard Pro

Same, and I'm mad I waited so long! Constantly still having that feeling of "wait you can DO that?" with CSP

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.

I maintain that Flash's Timeline UI is still the clearest and best out of every piece of software I've used.

Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator. In his email to the company, the CEO said "we’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search. I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work. Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits. If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."

So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images

All of the conspiracies were somehow too tame compared to the reality??

So there's ACTUALLY a huge cabal of wealthy pedos and somehow the entire country isn't out in force?

These three movies have been my biggest sources of inspiration lately and I strongly recommend checking them out. French animation has been crushing it for years.

It's getting a bit gauche to say it but this is literally how night city does education
