Bluesky's own @diane.dianeduane.com, they mean. 😄

The claim that social media platforms do not change users' attitudes and beliefs while tech companies make hundreds of billions in ad revenue paid by companies who *use the platforms to influence users' attitudes and beliefs* has always struck me as ... fucking hilarious.

Imagine being this lazy when all you gotta do is talk an hour a week about how much you like god

So I finished this on my flight out, what a great time. Was fun how may people saw it and were interested… “Whoa, is that Batman fighting Zombies?” Me “Oh yeah, and it’s not just Batman, it’s the whole Justice League” them: “That sounds cool!” Me: “It’s very cool, look at this.” 1/3

She is also a trustee of Sex Matters, a charity which advocates for gender critical perspectives and for single sex spaces, and has been involved in local Conservate politics in Bolton.

Cadden, who was a police officer for 30 years, in both Greater Manchester Police and the Metropolitan Police, said she wanted "a proper inquiry on grooming gangs" that had operated in the region and "to get rid of carbon tax".

The intention of the anti trans project, from “just asking questions” to “fairness in sports” was always this: to make it illegal and impossible to be trans in society.

To create pretexts for our arrest and removal, if we don’t put ourselves under house arrest.

To punish us for being different.

I dont get why its a problem for them to just support trans people but not get drawn in.

Some people are trans, a tiny fraction of society. The right wants to demonise and attack a minority of a minority again rather then look at what's important for everyone.

It's not a complex defence.

I hate the dismissive way politics-heads talk about lefties having “purity tests” as an insult. It’s such a sneer.

But looked at another way - what it really means is that they have DIFFERENT purity tests.

E.g. if we demand full trans rights, that’s supposedly a purity test. Why?

I CAST WHIMSY ON THE SKYLINE

5 panel comic P1: Title. "HOW TO DRAW A HORSE" P2: "SKETCH A SHAPE LIKE THIS" Beneath, we see a pencil sketch of a kinda squooshed rectangtangtangtangtangle P3: "TURN IT INTO A HEAD" The shape is now a horse head. This shape, it gives head. P4: "NOW, COMPLETE THAT HORSE!" We dolly back to see the glorious complete abomination. The head simply has four legs jutting out of it. P5: A wide panel, showing the crime against creation frolicking through a field. A blue sky filled with fluffy pink clouds fills the background. On the top left, a single word "congratulation"

Horses. Up there with bicycles as the bane of many an artist.

However, I figured out a foolproof way of drawing them, and I want to share that with you! 😊

(bonus)

The most sucessfull outings tend to be made by artists who have an existing history with making art, cartoon or 3D modeled illustrations and comics.

Valve takes a dim view of real people ever appearing in games since a cosplayer was going to be included in one and it brought up regulatory issues.

this is so funny.
