Good morning Bluesky !

I think the wargaming community need to move past the;

'Don't tell my partner how much I spend on my hobby' jokes.

I mean, dysfunctional relationships are kinda funny, I guess?

Oh you absolutely useless wankers

‘Worrying’ levels of screen time means young people losing confidence to socialise in person, minister warns – UK politics live Culture secretary Lisa Nandy says ‘majority of young people spend all, or almost all, of their free time alone in their bedrooms, online’

This is not caused primarily by "screen time".

It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Did I ever mention I occasionally do mini painting commissions? I did these 4 for a friend, he asked for just one layer, shade, and highlight, and to get them done. Still went a little overboard though!

Looks like minipainting has to do without Vallejo paints. First they ignore worker's right and safety in their factory, begrudgingly let them have a few fixes and now they blatantly use Generated Images as their selling point. If you can't support artists I can't support you.

This is why I'll never use AK stuff again. Can't forget this.

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!"

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

Will Riker wearing a v neck that goes almost down to his dick

despite everything, i still believe in the potential of humankind to create utopia. but it will require hard work, courage, and above all else extremely deep v-necks that go almost down to the dick

An eloquent image:

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.

I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

Mockup drawing of a UK parliament petition where the petitioner has asked for "good thing please" with description "we think the UK needs this". Government responded: "No."

Every UK petition is like this

Watch out for this account. Stealing other people's photos. Is a 3d sculptor scam.

Five panels to tell a story. Left to right , top then bottom. Panel one, General Martok of the Klingon Empire asks "What's wrong boy?" Panel two some young people say "He's sad because his dog died." Panel three is Martok again saying "Then you must be brave and live an honorable life, so that one day, you will see your dog again, in Sto'vo'kor". Panel 4 is the young people asking "Do dogs go to Sto'vo'kor?" Panel 5 is Martok saying "There will be more of them than there are of us"

I felt this needed to be spread around again.

OSA is gonna make us lose access to fucking wikipedia

write to your MPs.

I have very few people who I genuinely considered heroic for the creative fields, but Kevin MacLeod was one of them. To learn that the "free varied music for whatever you want it for" guy stopped composing and started prompt engineering AI slop for almost a year is the most depressing twist.

A foam block cut to look like bricks painted as redbrick with graffiti on it saying "fuck terf island" "free Palestine" "acab" "trans rights" "eat the rich" and " z <3 a"

Learning how to make a brick wall from foam and trying to get bricks and graffiti looking right, it's come out not bad I think!

hell? yea, brother

Meme, upper text: The Myth of Artistic Freedom Man says: I want to draw it Woman says: I want to see it MasterCard and Visa logos say: I DON'T! Bottom text: ISN'T THERE SOME RANDOM PAYMENT PROCESSOR YOU FORGOT TO ASK?

Since it’s happening again let’s have a brief thread on IP and trademark enforcement.

Note. This is a wildly complex area of law that differs internationally and I’m not a lawyer. I do have some direct experience though.

Even if you don't purchase smut, it should be common sense that the right for anyone else to obtain it shouldn't be completely up to modern day crusaders and credit card payment processors.

Screenshot: No room for wokeness! @Wokenessisevil Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment. [photos show Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Alan Ritchson (Reacher) with ripped muscles]

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

holy shit lmao

It's a misunderstanding to think that the capital class only wants to make money.

The capital class wants to be the *only ones* to make money, and they will happily sabotage their own potential earnings if it also means preventing anyone "beneath" them from getting their fair share of the profits.

It's never a bad time to bring up that we

a b s o l u t e l y

have the resources and ability to provide housing, food, clothing, healthcare, and education to everyone at no direct cost to the individual; and we just choose not to do it.
