Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

now theres FOUR of them

Ok so if you're still using Spotify I highly suggest you stop
(Personally I use Qobuz for streaming convenience but buy the mp3 from bandcamp if possible and from retailers if not)
Bandcamp has a strong anti ai policy and is committed to artists

living in the 2020’s

Pokemon rumble spheal casting a spell The text says "WOOSH. YOU WILL NOW HAVE A GOOD 2026" happy new year

Tumblr post by and-fishing-equipment reading "in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD instead ask: - Is it SINCERE - is it CATHARTIC - was it FUN TO MAKE - is it MADE BY ME and don't forget to stay silly"

David Lynch in the filming set speaking in the megaphone. He says “Okay, let's try that again, but this time good.”

Here’s to 2026

what do they gain from this

I don't want gen AI in my browser
I don't want gen AI in my pc
I don't want gen AI in my art
I don't want gen AI in my games
I don't want gen AI in my music
I don't want gen AI in my movies
I don't want gen AI in my books
I don't want gen AI in my cart
I don't want gen AI in my life

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out

pick up a pencil and a napkin

a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.

don't forget 🤖🚫

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Batman slapping Robin meme with the caption, an "18+" sign being over Batman's face while Bluesky's logo is over Robin's. Robin as Bluesky: "No discussing self-harm, suicide, abuse (sexual, drugs, substance, etc.) unless it's educational—!!!" Batman as 18+ creators (or non-professionals in general): "Artists are not teachers or therapists. We are not obligated to teach you anything."

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this

#bskycensorship

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS! example.com/article?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=emai /youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=Aa1Uc_fRHXC0ay85 The portion following the question marks are source identifiers. Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

Clean up your links before you share them with others. It's a small and simple piece of operational security that anyone can integrate into their practice.

I'm so tired of this puritanical bullshit.
Sex is healthy, sex fantasies are healthy, fiction is healthy.

I wish people would stop conflating BDSM and fiction with assault.
People have fantasies about power. That's normal!

Exploring feeling via stories is what humans do!

the article aged poorly. finland's current government is right wing and hostile towards the most vulnerable groups. poverty and homelessness have increased a lot, and the rich get richer. tired of seeing the "happiest country" "stops homelessness" bullshit year after year while all this is happening
