A comic showings cartoon man degrade into a bubble with eyes and a mouth saying that comic work no matter how well drawn they are.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023

people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

Fellow artists beware of job listings or recruiters from a group posing as Blinkmoon. Preying on hopeful artists in this job climate is disgusting. Don't let them waste your time.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

For my out-of-state friends wanting to help Minneapolis, Sanctuary Supply Depot is a grassroots mutual aid effort to support unhoused folks here. They take cash as well as in-kind donations: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.

Grok Can't Apologize. Grok Isn't Sentient. So Why Do Headlines Keep Saying It Did? Elon Musk’s chatbot has been “undressing” women and children in public. Journalists are letting xAI off the hook by pretending the bot is responsible.

can't believe the guy whose entire political philosophy revolves around domination would turn out to be a hawk
