You ever think about how before guns, a huge amount of warfare and human violence was pretty hard to distinguish from a slasher movie

imho any Democrat who doesn't support at least revoking all of Elon's security clearances and terminating all his government contracts is a traitor

This week on the blog - more discussion of Hearts of Iron IV and this week's topic is a heavy one, assessing how the decision not to acknowledge or address war crimes and crimes against humanity causes the game to blunder into being a 'clean Wehrmacht' myth simulator. acoup.blog/2026/10/16/t...

Good looking animation is so intrinsically expensive and labor-intensive that this is basically an unsolvable problem. The pool of people willing to actually pay for animation is just too small to support an ecosystem of good, varied, independent shows.

*Heavy sigh that lasts thirty seconds.*

Everyone deserves this.

I love it when my soldiers get helmet horror mid-combat and shoot their squadmates in panic

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

I GOT A JOB OFFER. YIPPIE!

Bluesky feels increasingly lonely, Threads feels like there was a gas leak, twitter feels like there was a gas leak and also everyone is a nazi, the internet is just less fun these days idk

"What Metro Surge showed the world is that people do not want to watch their neighbors be brutalized, shot, and torn from their homes, and no amount of Trump posting on Truth Social is ever going to change that"

Everyone’s dad’s favorite documentary is just a windows movie maker slideshow panning over civil war photos narrated by to, hanks. You don’t need Genai to make them move.

I find it interesting that pro-anti AI and datacenters is, as far as actual elected officials and aspirants, an issue more or less *perpenducular* to normal party lines.

If you use AI for essays, you are weak, and will not survive the winter.

"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing

Teeheehee

Taken Out To Pasture #corrosart #comic

NDA's are a blight upon every artistic industry.

I would be livid if I worked on a cultural moment like Adventure Time and had to tell future employers that they Just Have To Rake My Word For It, only for the fuckheads at DCSkyBrothers Channel to spill all of it within a matter of DAYS.

325gb of art and material that artists and animators weren't allowed to use in portfolios to keep themselves fed.

Left-wing candidate Hitler Mussolini triumphs over right-wing rival Lenin Vladimir (no, seriously)

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

Have we considered that a partial solution to the current crisis of anomie might be found in simply legalizing hallucinogens

Slowly coming to the conclusion that the vast majority of the populace is genuinely too stupid to be allowed a say in the political process, but it is unclear how you would exclude them without creating a mechanism to just disenfranchise anyone the regime doesn't like

There's a whole lot of non-AI physical and digital infrastructure that's going to be left fallow when Oracle goes under. I'm sure there are contingencies, but it's going to be a rough.

Fuuuuuuck, man...

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

While the article was clearly writen as ragebait by and for right-wingers, the reason it blew up is because every leftist has lived through a variation of this scenario, probably more than once, and they're fucking sick of it.

I detest puritanism and purity culture with every fiber of my being. Sex is a beautiful expression of humanity and life, and should not be villainized. Smut artists are following a tradition as ancient as the cave paintings at Lascaux and the Venus of Willendorf. The god of the puritans is evil.

so, here's my hot take I'd actually vastly prefer skyrim's spellcasting system to Oblivion and Morrowind's system IF the bespoke spells were interesting and cool Citation: mods that added tons of cool spells to skyrim

Hey its fucking wierd more of the dems platform isnt "we will give you abortion rights back"

new cat just dropped www.nbcnews.com/science/envi...

I'm so excited about the newly described Leopardus tilcayo #cats

The face-eating-leaopard's appetite seems to be growing the more it eats.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

The bread is poisoned and the circus is too expensive.

"Schizophrenic uses ChatGPT to make anti-schitzophreic drugs" sounds like the first five minutes of a 90s straight to video horror movie.

I am still a little leery but this description made it click better.

This post conflates the interests of "MAHA moms" with the interests of their children due to their expected role within the family. And I have to say, it's kinda paternalistic (ahem) to act like these women are driven by genuine concern for children while disregarding the interests of said children.

No. We do not negotiate or compromise with MAHA. The movement needs to be crushed mercilessly. Vaccinate them at gunpoint. Take their children away.

I only have one volume out SO FAR, but if you want a fucked up grave robber crossing paths with a fucked up monster hunter and a fucked up bard who burns a church down for Satan, I've got a book for you mybook.to/ornamentalwo...
