[Me working at chuck E. Cheese for eleven years] It’s insane that we let kids piss in the ball pit

hey, uh, y'all *do* know that chatgpt *is* generative ai, too, right? it's not just art. gen-ai is not just stealing & scraping the internet for art, it is *also* stealing & scraping the internet for all types of written word.

you cannot be anti gen-ai and still use chatgpt. all gen-ai is harmful.

The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command.

The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.

Why your kids are sick all the time. Less than 9% have been vaccinated for 2025-2026.

Most schools are refusing HEPA purifiers bc parents & staff are getting involved. We had 122 BILLION for clean air that expired back in Sept. 2024.

Should we keep joking about the all sick kids or do something?

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Hey kids! If you guys are supporting anyone on Substar, or if you're an artist using the platform yourselves, you probably want to know about this!

Take a minute to double-check that all of your settings are set!

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Affected material includes:

“Thumbnails, Product Images, or Description Images containing sex toys, genitalia, anuses, areolas, nipples, etc (even if the content is marked with spoilers)”

Guys. This is the most vanilla possible stuff. This is “I find your boobs sexy” and it’s STILL too much

There's some good ones around.

A meme against paypro censorship with the MasterCard logo. The red section says "We Hate Gay People," the yellow section says "We Hate Women's Bodies," the middle reads: "We Fucking Hate You." Text: "There are some things money can't buy, hating artists and women's bodies? Priceless."

yeaaaaahhh that's me 😂

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

Regret to announce that we’ve reached Wrong Coat season. Every coat you wear from now til mid April will be The Wrong Coat for the weather

You might want to stop reading the news and watch this puppy.

Another effective and low energy thing to do that affects payment processors more directly is to completely trash their public image. Make memes and art and shitpost images conflating MasterCard with censorship and anti-consumer practices

Papashan: It isn't much, but go and give them these twilight pretzels, would you? I find comfort food always helps when I feel like killing myself.

real as fuck man

there are studies out there already showing that fascist governments and unscrupulous capitalists are banking on making you feel despair and hatred - don't let them. Don't let them. Don't be cruel. Be kind. Please.

I hate that we are living in times where it feels the only thing we can do is triage those affected. Where charity is the only weapon against the worst people in the world. But if you can fix something for someone today, please do it. A lot of folks are asking for help, maybe throw them some.

DO NOT USE CHAT GPT.

And I think it’s most interesting when the justifications are dropped! What if someone’s interest in a sexual experience, that could not in real life include them, did not: Heal your trauma Help you navigate misogyny Assist in identity formation as a gay trans man Or do any good in your life aside from being you pleasure Wouldn’t it be fun to find out? It seems like people often want to introduce virtue into this conversation, like “As a woman, you ought to be more interested in f/f. Only once you have finished the broccoli of lesbianism may you enjoy the bread pudding of fake faggotry.”
