Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I've tried to keep quiet about this angle per the simpsons observation that you don't win friends with salad, but yeah been vegan 23 years and seeing people who defend factory farming for flavor and tradition wondering if their teddy ruxpin can suffer and needs ethics consideration sure is something

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

An illustration decorated with smiling pansies and leaves that says "Trans rights are human rights. We will love and protect each other "

Everything is really scary and chaotic for Trans individuals right now. Regardless of whatever lies and fear that is spread, we know that the world is better with Trans people in it. You are all worth fighting for, and we will continue to advocate for your rights and your safety.

Someone find me a job in Montreal please im willing to move and speak French also find me an art job in general lol

Get off Twitter NOW. Like literally right now. Delete it from your devices.

But WE'RE just being naysayers when we say we won't participate whole-throatedly because the issue of waste is just not a big deal to the rest of them.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

What’s so frustrating is that people are not taking about what’s happening anymore.

GAZ@ is being destroyed, the genoc.ide is ongoing, the starvation is ongoing, the k1lling is ongoing!

SPEAK UP ABOUT IT!!! Keep speaking! Keep doing everything you can!!!

READ THIS THREAD!

Every day. It’s just the same story every single day — IDF massacres starving people at food sites they set up with US money and support.

Slayers and Excel Saga are two things that flew under my radar growing up and I feel like I need to incorporate them in my animation vocabulary asap

To be clear on what they're proposing: human beings using water for drinking, washing, and growing crops will be rationed.

The AI datacenters will have all the water they can contaminate.

A regular reminder that using Grok is actively poisoning my former home of Memphis, Tennessee, a relatively poor and majority Black major city in the American South. Allowing the DoD to use it will escalate this dramatically.

An excellent and informative thread 🧵

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me

AI Is Eating Data Center Power Demand—and It’s Only Getting Worse A new analysis of AI hardware being produced and how it is being used attempts to estimate the vast amount of electricity being consumed by AI.

tired: people AI-generating rando images of themselves as anime

WIRED: AI’s energy use already represents as much as 20 percent of global data-center power demand, new analysis has found

These look so freaking good

Fourteen Thousand.

The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

i want to be a killjoy: we need to make it socially unacceptable to ask chatgpt anything

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI:

It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

They are literally forcing all of Gazans into a concentration camp in what used to be Rafah in southern Gaza, after destroying it. They are now planning on annihilating Khan Younis.

There’s never been a genocide so thoroughly documented as it was live-streamed straight to our phones.

🔥🔥🔥

People in Gaza are posting final messages.

this artist has a kofi now, channel your rage into that and send them some fucking money so they can rip bungie a new one pls

All you have to do is hit the button. Do it.

They only know the world through cramped, wire cages. Crushed beneath their fellow beings, comfort a distant dream, pain their constant companion. All this, so we can consume eggs 😠

The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

I will forever be haunted by this footage.

Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.

What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.
