i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

New career path: Telling everyone that I use generative AI for everything (and then just half-assing it with my own brain) so people I don’t respect throw piles of money at me and are cool with the final product being bad.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

ceos are completely incompetent and will burn billions of dollars without doing the most basic due diligence. facebook burned 50b on their shitty second life clone. muskrat blows billions on rockets that explode if you look at them wrong.

You have no idea how happy it makes me when I see a thread or article that's like "what's the most shocking thing that you can't believe was in a children's show?" and people mention #InfinityTrain and then debate WHICH thing that happens in the show is the worst thing.

This is brings my soul joy.

I thought AI was supposed to make games faster than usual dev time. It’s been at least a year. Where they at? Where are the critically acclaimed, fully AI-powered games? Show them to me. Bring them forth. Let us see.

Here it is. Yes i have it printed 👀

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

I was out of Israeli prison in five days. They’ve been holding Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for nearly a year without charge, along with thousands more Palestinians. A ceasefire without an end to occupation and accountability for Israel will just be a slower continuation of the genocide

I wasn’t exaggerating it rules so hard

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors “With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

You have a First Amendment right to wear a penis suit and hold up a ”No dick-tator“ sign. If you can wear it for a Halloween costume you can wear it to engage in political speech. It’s not obscenity.

It's wild how much it feels like people are desperate to memory hole this entire phenomenon, to me. How viciously everyone who pointed out the emperor had no clothes were criticized. How content they all seem to be to let the biggest wealth transfer of the decade just fade out w/o REAL examination.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

a digital drawing of three staggered panels of solid snake, each in a bodysuit. in the first panel, he's seen from the back, pulling on or pulling off a pair of pants to reveal that he's wearing a bodysuit underneath, cut high at the waist and into a thong at the back. in the second panel, he's seen from the front with a cigarette in his mouth, puling on his gloves, strips of skin visible at his waist between his pants and the bodysuit. in the third panel, he's posing with a gun, vest and gear on, only he's not wearing pants over the bodysuit, revealing his hairy thighs. the background of the panels are in progressively darker pink.

what if solid snakes sneaking suit was actually a bodysuit underneath pants. #mgs

A 4 panel comic. Panel 1: closeup of a new textbook on a kid's school desk. The cover reads "World Histeries - sponcored bye PragerU + OpenAI" Panel 2: The kid opens the book. Page titles include "How slavery boosted the enconemy" and "12 reasons hitler wasn't wrong" along with an ad that reads "more with a pragerU subscription and another that says "10% off openAI" with a QR code. Panel 3: the kid looks up at the teacher, lifts the book, and says "what the fuck is this" Panel 4: an exhausted teacher, still passing out a stack of the books, replies "your senator picked it"

11 years later, I finally made an illustration of my favorite anime 😩

Four sets of screenshots depicting RGG Studio’s acts of censorship as captioned: “RGG Studio (9k followers) limits, filters, and deletes #REMOVEKAGAWA comments on Instagram. RGG West (111k) currently does not, despite receiving more comments.” “Yakuza Kiwami 3 director/producer Ryosuke Horii hides #REMOVEKAGAWA comments, deletes tweet, and says he’ll block spam replies (“annoying replies”).” “Parody account RGG Studio UK suspected of being taken down for speaking up about #REMOVEKAGAWA despite being clearly marked as a parody account.” “Sega summarily marks feedback forms regarding #REMOVEKAGAWA as solved with no response. Fans resort to repeatedly asking for follow-ups and responses to keep tickets open.”

Compiled what we know about RGG Studio's censorship of the #REMOVEKAGAWA movement. Keep speaking up.

A 14Y.O school boy in Malaysia this morning stabbed a girl who rejected him & he punctured her 50 times. She died immediately. Now ya'll just cant help but to pull out the 'he's mentally ill thats why he went crazy'

can ya'll just leave us out of your mouths??🙄

Going forward, I think indie animation projects that crowdfund should make it clear that whatever the minimum goal is isn’t the total final cost of making the animated thing. Even overshooting the minimum goal several times won’t cover the total animation cost.
