Person: say, i am alive. Computer: I am alive. Person: oh my god.

Listen I do not care if this is the author's barely disguised fetish, if they're good at their damn job it will be MY barely disguised fetish while the story lasts and perhaps afterwards

Is the breading around American Dogs not made from corn flour? 🤔

if you think about it, fishing is the oldest Gacha

as an artist, I basically live by this ancient tumblr post, and I'm not kidding.

always late for the party, but
Hohoho, your raccoon Santa and his comrade are here

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

I truly feel you on this. It’s okay to say that you’re doing badly! Acknowledging it doesn’t fix it but it at least gives you the space to be honest with yourself and others about it. It’s bad, but you’re still here, and it matters that you are 💗

Really bums me out to see Pretty Series go in this direction, especially now that Aikatsu Series no longer has an active arcade game. I miss Pripara and Prichan 😢

To actually experience a full game, you have to spend a total of 500 yen - 100 to start the game, and 400 more for your cards. The new card printing system is impressive, sure, but the game itself isn’t actually enjoyable to play, so there’s no reason to collect cards in the first place.

PriMagi put the card shopping in the middle of the rhythm game. AiPri Verse splits the rhythm game into four very short segments (it felt like 15-20 seconds), each with an opportunity to buy a card at the end of the segment. If you don’t buy a card at the end of the first segment, the game ends.

Tried playing AiPri Verse for the first time yesterday. Takara Tomy has accomplished something incredible here: they’ve managed to make a game that is even less fun than PriMagi.

They’re so cute!! I love Doctor Quincy 🥹 Are you designing Kuya and Garu too? 💜🩵

No problem! I had a great time writing for you last year btw, that story is my favorite thing I’ve written for NC and I was thrilled you liked it 😄

Ruby Bridges, age 6

Ruby Bridges flanked by three U.S. Marshals on the steps of her school

Norman Rockwell's painting "The Problem We All Live With," depicting the event originally published as a centerfold in the January 14, 1964, issue of Look magazine.

Ruby Bridge talking to President Obama as they look at Rockwell's painting when it was temporarily displayed at the White House in 2011.

Happy 71st Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.

She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.

The past isn’t past.

Happy Birthday! I saw your art for the first time at an art event in Shibuya, and fell in love with it right away!

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process: - data centers pollute our environment - energy use drives up costs - content theft robs creators of income - the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages - using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence - the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

The lights are dimming and dinner has been packed away.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
