This would be way more funny if this wasn't so devastating on the devs who are having to suffer the excruciating psychic damage of dealing this garbage day in and out, not to mention the people who were already laid off for it.

Two things you can do to help remove RFK Jr:

1) Call your electeds and tell them he needs to go. There's already drafts of impeachment/removal work in both House and Senate. Tell electeds to support them.

2) Sign the petition that'll go to the HELP Committee in the Senate at firerfk.wordpress.com

James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more.

A long 🧵

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

I want to find out the names of the artists who sold out to work on this shit. They better have been facing homelessness to take this fucking job I stg

If you look at the book banner's playbook, the first move is to just say the word "porn" in the hope that you'll just say "OBVIOUSLY we don't want THAT ew gross!" without actually looking into what they're doing. They're counting on your kneejerk disgust to be strong enough to kill your diligence.

As someone who worked in a call center... Keep calling. The company starts with the smallest people, being a firewall between YOU and the BOSS. Once everyone on reception will quit, the bosses will realize that they are the only ones left to answer the tidal wave of angry customers.

Selling something on the secondary market?
Make sure it hasn't been recalled.
Buying something on the secondary market?
Make sure it hasn't been recalled.
Let's keep everyone safe and alive in our quest for *products*.

“Synthetic Media” is just corpo-speak for “AI Slop.”

Don’t let them trick you.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

you are literally doing exactly the thing that the delusional person is by doing so. reading way too much into a situation and finding connections where there are none is a hallmark symptom of psychosis

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3

Do not throw hissy fits as if trans people are asking for a Democratic nominee who will give every one of them a pony and free fresh highlights. They are asking to be protected from hate crimes. They are asking to use public services. They are asking to have their records reflect their reality.

WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for.

Stop using WeTransfer.

@zachrabiroff.com writes about Kirby and Superman:

there's a tweet going around that's like, you should read books because that's how you learn empathy. i love books, but idk if that's right for people who misunderstand art this badly. they read/watched superman & didn't even learn that he's an immigrant from it. they're gonna learn empathy from it?

yeah i cant defend this. bsky whats going on, i deleted all my posts on twitter awhile ago and stopped taking it seriously for very obvious reasons - so dont make me regret joining here too

The IDF isn’t a person, it’s a machine equipped by the state to commit genocide. Calling for the dismantling of that machine is not antisemitic or calling for violence against individuals, it’s a call for the violence to end. State leaders who suggest otherwise know this and are being dishonest.

Bullies co-opted the whole "don't bully" movement as a smokescreen to hide their bullying. Bullying has its place, and it's to be used against awful people to point out how awful they are and shame them for it.

The real lesson was always "don't punch down".
