Def agree. Never had the clout to push back on it though. One day I hope!

This is very funny (translating Lion King song from Zulu) & also, reminds me of Maskerade where they translate the opera to Morporkian it's 'This damn door sticks. It sticks no matter what I do. It is marked 'pull' and indeed I am pulling. Perhaps it should be marked 'push'. youtu.be/1_t_-0nmpLo?...

Ideal when they align, but some people with power over money and who aren't on the ground can't parse a slice of content without the whole around it, and in that moment you have to judge that and figure out how to make it serve 2 masters. This has been my exp, anyhow!

Mostly, yes, but sometimes part of the purpose of a VS is 'convince publisher to fund us' and/or 'continue funding us'. 'convincing content' is sometimes a divergent goal from 'eventual shippable content'.

I'm begging the small local community groups in Ireland to please consider reframing their use of AI design work this way. The amount of drama and theatre groups in my sphere that I see using AI posters now just makes me sad.

Here we go here we go here we fucking go! 💚

It's a fucking primary school you monsters. They bombed a primary school full of little girls you sick fucks

US-Israel war on Iran Death toll from Iran school bombing reportedly rises to almost 150 Strike on girls’ elementary school in south of Iran has killed 148 people and injured 95 others, according to Iran state media

Intoletable. How anyone's response to this can be anything other than abject rage and disgust is beyond me.

Seems bad!

The Pitt continues to throw cultural confusions. Why are the police dressed like people in the army? Complete with a medic?

A BOOX Palma 2! & you mean books that take a form which reinforces content? Lots of poetry! (example attached) Deep Wheel Orcadia by @hjosephinegiles.bsky.social is both in verse & Orcadian which chimes with themes... Or @imaginaryadvice.bsky.social's play Party Trap which is an entire palindrome?

Got a handheld e-ink device for reading books (pictured: Several People are Typing). Firmly convinced THIS is the piece of text which will fix my brain.

Ugh, we still have a monarchy? How embarrassing.

Already wishing they’d hired me to write it

Treated myself to the Star Trek voyager game and a hedge trimmer, today. Living the life.

”My bone chair is made from over 200 human bones, but it you think about it, a human is also made from over 200 human bones…”

I hate this argument, because we have humans already, it’s not like we’re going to kill them off because there’s an AI that can look like it does their work long enough to fool an investor, right? Right???

(AI doubles the energy cost of a task because the human doesn’t stop existing)

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

Who broke the budgets, huh? Who hoarded resources and wealth to the point that child poverty is soaring, healthcare is falling apart, public infrastructures have been drained dry? Who did that?

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Whaaaa!!!

You don't have to join the debate about Very Bad Things that make Very Bad People Very Rich. Participating can in fact legitimise the Very Bad Thing!

"The left has largely refused to engage with the death camps, ceding debate about their threat and opportunity to the right"

Right!! I’m not sure what it’s supposed to signify narratively. I guess the latter since my replies though.

Phew-ee
