“Do you have Sparkling?”

Super tedious exercise! Looking great though!

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

These are great!!

Aphelion is a really fun side-project. I find it extremely helpful to stay creative during these really stressful times in animation. Also…it’s fun stretching those animation muscles once in a while.

OpenAI says it has evidence China’s DeepSeek used its model to train competitor White House AI tsar David Sacks raises possibility of alleged intellectual property theft

OpenAI says it has found evidence that Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek used the US company’s proprietary models to train its own open-source competitor, as concerns grow over a potential breach of intellectual property. The San-Francisco-based ChatGPT maker told the Financial Times it had seen some evidence of ‘distillation’, a technique used by developers to obtain better performance on smaller models by using outputs from larger, more capable models. This allows them to achieve similar results on specific tasks at a much lower cost. OpenAI declined to comment further on details of its evidence. Its terms of service state users cannot “copy” any of its services or “use output to develop models that compete with OpenAI”.

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks.

FILE UNDER: Cork & Cobbler

Enter Cobbler. It's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it. That somebody is usually Cobbler. But that won't stop him from complaining about it. (1/3)

It's less than two weeks until Christmas, or twelve Honda Days, depending on what you observe.

Luigi Mangione Is Not the Issue Here Instead of worshiping him or stuffing him into an ideological box, let's focus on fixing the inhumane society that shaped him.

Really good from @therafischwartz.bsky.social about pushing past the Luigi Mangione sleuthing frenzy to get to the real issue: that our healthcare system is so fucked up, and we hate it so much, that we've turned him into a hero. www.discourseblog.com/p/luigi-mang...

FILE UNDER: Cork & Cobbler

Meet Cork. He claims his full name is Corklin Excelsior "of the Southton Excelsiors". Surely, you've heard of the Excelsior Family. The incredibly rich, stuck-up, and posh and, most importantly, HUMAN family. (1/3)

HOT UNION SUMMER ✊🔥

Yes. Helps break up the day with a little jolt!

I am genuinely enjoying how we are all posting old art. This is something I drew for fun. I had drawn the archer before, but thought it would be fun to include two of his buds.

As long as that candle light is a .jpg or .png

If we don’t get to enjoy SmallBu’s sweet animations, is it even a social media site? Amirite?
