I am still sad that we’re never going to get another Ishioka design. Where’s my DVD of Varekai gotten to…?

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community

So about "genAI is fine if it's just for code"...

Oh my goodness are they BLEPPING in that picture??

Blaming kids in here too. Wow. Mine's 12 and follows politics because people are trying to take her rights away. Took off work cuz my oldest and her friends got maced during a walkout. In my experience anyone self declaring they are making a safe space is actually not.

The @authorsguild.org has updated its comprehensive article on the Anthropic copyright settlement and the many claims discrepancies thereof with info about publisher corrections and publisher contact email addresses authorsguild.org/news/importa...

I’m so sad we lost you, but I am so grateful for the time you gave us. Rest in peace, Dolly.

Banger of the year, tbh.

they keep letting people go on record and say "don't worry everyone, we only replaced our concept artists with ai" as if the concept artists aren't the entire skeleton of the thing. you took the bones out, man. look at it flippin and floppin around. fuck off

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

Quoteposting so I don’t detract from the thread: 1000% not to discount all the important points made, but if someone IS looking for recipes that’re affordable, make several servings, & have some variety, there is a cookbook called “Good And Cheap” that I recommend & have as a PDF if anyone wants.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Today’s no-context sentence: “Do you know how much I was BORN?!”

Teachers understand this would destroy public education. Shoving a technology that causes cognitive decline onto kids is the most harmful thing you could do. We're already slowly marching to banning phone & personal computer use entirely during the school day, simply to keep them focused.

I guess I should explain this. Some animals glow. Some other animals glow, but only under certain light. Here a wild Eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) is glowing under UV light in this case. This is the first imagery of its kind in the wild.

This seems like the only legitimate time I can @iwriteok.bsky.social …

Please soothe your soul with this footage of an enraged muppet being treated at the wild muppet center.

I am crying with love

I think my version of “ripping off the underwire bra the moment you get home” is “viciously signing out of Zoom.”

Fascists cannot create new art, they can only sell you tickets for an impossible journey to a past that can never be relived
