I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Devastating quote:

"Unfortunately, I can’t in good faith participate in an organization that kicked off the awards ceremony with a land acknowledgement, and then proceeded to minimize the sole acceptance speech delivered by an Indigenous artist"

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

Absolutely sickening shit: the Dena had just participated in international naval exercises *with the US* and was unarmed and the US knew this and sank it anyway and left the survivors to drown

"The laws will lead to more data being collected on kids, which predatory companies can then use to target them in more invasive ways," writes @taylorlorenz.bsky.social. interc.pt/4s5Rr7u

It is so weird when younger people think that getting older means ceasing social participation

This is also why so many of you fear aging. You think that you will be forced away from life and society

2 kobolds standing next to each other. one has pink skin and is in an airy purple wrapped fabric dress with gold trim, her pose is elegant, facing away from the figure on the right but eyeing in her direction. the other has dandelion skin and is wearing a loose red crop top, with urban splinter cargo paints with pockets and a kneepad, and big red and black hightop shoes; her hands have gloves, and she's also wearing red tinted aviator goggles on her forhead. her eyes are closed, and she is facing the camera with a hand on her hip and another gesturing in the air. she is visibly sweating a bit.

BREAKING NEWS: MELOG AND CATRA CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF SNUGGLING WITHOUT A PLAUSIBLE EXCUSE!

Cops don’t keep us safe. They exist to defend power, capital, and the white, Christian patriarchy.

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

this is the same shit that happens here in Vancouver... our idiot politicians are like "why does nobody use Transit"while pointedly ignoring how if you rely on transit for literally ANYTHING, you'll be late so often as to be fireable for it... here its 1bus/30min usually, often they're no-shows...

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

The IRIS Dena, a prized destroyer in the Iranian Navy, had participated in an international naval exercise in India last month. The ship had been making its way back toward Iran from Visakhapatnam, a city in India where the joint exercise ended on Feb. 25. The United States was among the many participants in the drills.

so the US Navy fired on and sank a vessel returning home from a joint exercise that the US Navy also participated in ... is that skating kinda close to the line of perfidy? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/w...

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

IHL is complete fucking trash at this point, you and I both know its just a weapon to hold over smaller nations' heads to prevent asymmetric warfare/retaliation against the US while the US gets free reign to commit global terror against anyone they want. kinda hard to cite it after *last 3 years*..

Meta has a history of torturing their moderators and providing NOTHING in the way of mental health care. How do I know? Because I used to be a moderator for Meta and I got a $3,500 settlement for the PTSD they gave me.

When we tried to unionize, they moved their moderation to the Philippines.

"I'm getting lazier and the code is getting worse. This is the future!"

screencap of a conversation between Bluesky employee "Why" and random user "Lizardguy" (Why.blueskyteam) Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast (Lizardguy).... what horrible breaches have we already had? Why the fuck would you come out and say "oh yeah, all our code is shit" like that? (Why.blueskyteam) I understand you're scared of the future, but hiding under a rock won't help you meet it

he actually said the second half of that in a snarky reply lmao.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

I just think they're neat 😌

We also just murdered this guy’s parents, his wife, and his son so good luck getting a peace deal
