‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

I'm not saying it was a quest hook, I'm just saying I'd feel pretty stupid if I ignored it and missed the beginning of my adventure.

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

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

The world at ~1.5°C above preindustrial. Fossil fuel usage continues unabated, pushing more greenhouse gas pollution into the atmosphere, so heating will continue. We are *firmly* on track to pass 2°C We are *absolutely* not prepared for the associated climate chaos.

This is the fairest take possible I think. I respect Jacob for owning up to his mistakes here, but I wouldn’t blame anyone for not wanting to engage with his content ever again. Yes, people do grow and change, but nobody is owed a platform. Also, I really hope the victim doesn’t get outed.

Another thing to remember on this bisexual day is that The Grungler is canonically bi. I do enjoy how it's become a term for "token cis guy who hangs out with a bunch of trans weirdos" but the original post was also about straight women being weird about bi men.

One after another, women reported being sexually harassed by male supervisors, getting paid less than their male peers, getting passed over for promotions, getting talked over in meetings. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/women-...

hey why is no one talking about the licensing situation with this A24/SCP thing? are they releasing it under the same cc-by-sa license every SCP project is required to have? are they betting creative commons won't hold up in court? seems like the kind of question a journalist should look into idk

I made this design in 2019, and it’s been ripped off by countless creepy little Temu shops, as well as by Shein. Seeing it in an AI ad is ruining my day, ngl. If you like it, buy one from me - link in bio. I actually give money to queer mutual aid and medical care groups.

Imagine the job security of being gone for 3 months without communication to your boss or any indication that you'll be returning any time soon & still having a job. I say imagine because literally no job would let you get away with this. The people of Kentucky should fire him.

Mitch McConnell returned to the Senate on after a more than three-month absence. “Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June. I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues,” McConnell wrote in a statement. nbcnews.to/4h6US9V

If anyone is using my work to be an asshole to Kdin, I encourage you to walk into the FUCKING sea, and keep going.

The amount of people who have chosen to misinterpret what I’m saying to be “just bashing the art style” rather than actually listen to what I said is baffling. Add in the fact that SO MANY are then weaponizing @tbskyen.com’s videos to call me “a fucking idiot.” It’s all very frustrating.

Trans people are constantly asked to treat their full and equal rights as human beings as something LESS than absolute, something LESS than a red line. "Oh sure he's bad on the trans stuff but he's good on other policies!" It is obscene.

Aranock@aranock.bsky.social

There is something crushingly exhausting about how much time we as trans people have to spend arguing that our rights actually matter including to most of the self proclaimed cis allies. If you don't get why politicians throwing trans people under the bus is a bad move then fuck off forever ty
