Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

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

A week from tomorrow is the beginning of the END of the Orange Atrocity! 🍊 💩 #voteVoteVOTE

Eric Bauza wasn't just an incredible actor. He fought for all of us, for the preservation of art, to see that real art got to shine, even in the face of corporate greed. The importance of him using his platform and his voice for the betterment of art cannot be understated. Goodnight, sir.

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

How to do server a frighten:

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Why do packages have to show up right as I'm heading out the door to work for 8 hours? Wait, Sunday? But nobody delivers on Sundays… She's about teddy bear size? And came with a box full of extra outfits…

Nailed it.

BEGGING my fellow streamers to PLEASE stop using Tangia! I don't care if it makes for funny clips. Most voices on Tangia come from people who've very publicly said they don't want their voice taken from them this way. AI voices hurt ALL voice actors. You're better than this. Use other TTS.

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

@beetlemoses.bsky.social Can we the people get a" monkey stronger together" sticker?

It is my sincere hope that anyone who purchases my autograph on a Funko/figure with the intent of reselling it at a higher price on their shop fails at doing so and (maybe) learns a lesson from it. I don’t care for it, and you’ve made the experience transactional instead of personal. Go elsewhere.

On the subject of pet peeves, and my active fight against them - never buy from people like this. Upcharges/Resellers like this are why Funkos continue to be priced as premium items at autograph tables. My signature is *NOT* worth almost $200. Mail it to me if you have to, just cover the shipping.

Dolly Parton's sister claims voting machines in Tennessee changed her vote to the Republican candidate.

I hate it. I hate it I hate it I hate it. And at most anime conventions I attend it feels like over 85% of the shirts you see at vendors are exactly this style, plus or minus a “we mixed Pikachu with Thor” or “TMNT but with One Piece” crossover design. Barely one step above TEMU dropship merch imo.

My unsolicited pet peeve/hot take is that “black or white shirt with printed (usually square) design” is perhaps the most uninspired/lazy route one can take for merchandise, ESPECIALLY if you’re a multi-million dollar company. Nintendo couldn’t even do a RED shirt! For their Mario 40th Anniversary!

Unfortunately this is no longer a guarantee either. Most alcohols such as hand sanitizer or makeup remover will easily take off acrylic pen with a little rubbing. Resellers will get a personalization to remove suspicion but just remove the part they don’t want later.

Trying to cancel the thing feels like it falls under the jurisdiction of NYC's Click-to-Cancel. Jumped through hoops, had to verify humanity and reconfirm contact info. scamBay needs to get smacked hard. They've really let their site go to shit since the card & game scam wata pulled.

eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

This was me with eShop codes a few years back. Good thing they follow me so they'll just remember that era.

A thought. The winner got a mega evolution. Flygon got robbed again.

It's weird that no one wants to acknowledge that every ahow you enjoyed watching as a kid was a toy commercial. Yu-Gi-Oh? Batman? Pokemon? Gundam? Teen Titans? None of these shows would have existed if they weren't selling toys.

YES on 40 NO on 41 NO on 42 for all CA friends out there

She was murdered by transphobia 😥😥😥

It’s depressing to see schools use AI to create flyers, banners, & t-shirts. When I was in high school the faculty would come to the art department to have students create these things. I learned so many skills that have followed me my entire professional life. That’s what I thought school was for.

X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account. This is why Democracy Docket is not built on SubStack or any third-party platform that could one day turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Nobody hates free speech more than the fascist tech oligarchs who claimed to care about it more than anyone. What an absolute joke. P.S. they also hate democracy. As we hand them control of the country. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

A US lawmaker has announced plans to introduce a new bill that would give gamers ownership of the games they buy 🎮 The Power To The Players Act would require publishers to make games playable offline before shutting down their servers

If this passes, this could be the most important piece of consumer protection in the digital age.
