The ones who “Quiet Quit” Omelas

comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out

comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

The effortless shift in discourse from people insisting that anything that isn't a white statue of a dead roman dude isn't art like 3 years ago to demanding that they be treated as visionary artists for typing" x-men mystique big boobs she's my girlfriend" into a prompt window

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down
TRUMP: Uh huh
MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade?
TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

I have never felt so seen

I will scream an ear off about the tyranny of bloodless, joyless, rote hyperrealism for HOURS

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

The greatest innovation billionaires have come up with is they found a way to have billions of dollars and still be miserable and angry all the time

Hollywood was better when execs were just doing a lot of cocaine and greenlighting everything that sounded cool

If you have tons of money and gain more personal pleasure from vanity projects than saving human lives you’re an unbelievable piece of shit and I don’t really feel the need to interrogate any personal qualities beyond that

this line from cloud is in my head at least once a day

Sobering thread. LLMs are helping deluded people organize, expand, and spread their delusions.

These are monstrously destructive products that no healthy society should condone, much less enable, subsidize, and partner with.

J6er Jake Lang got punched yesterday in Dearborn, Michigan during his anti-Muslim march.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

The reason why socialism is no longer taboo in America is that our elites have successfully rebranded it as “any attempt by the state to function beyond semi-random violence“ while trying to combat it.

If some motherfucker has a full-time job and qualifies for government assistance, that's welfare being paid to their employer
