Guys who don't care about you, your neighborhood/any pollution therein, your livelihood and the affordability of your life, and who actually want you out of a job: "Not using the machine I am parasocial with will be the end of you and your society and leave you behind. I'm just concerned for you."

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

As artists and fans of artists, fandom participants, fic readers, we still have work to do on closing the gap we've created in our heads between us and sex workers. I was admonished the other day for "spreading misinfo" over the uk censor law because it only applies to real people, not drawings

For those of you who just updated your settings in Libby (which is owned by Overdrive) … Robin’s thread is instructive.

a 25 year old could not comprehend how bad the dining options were in the median American town in 1996

This is the answer to the 'if it's genocide why doesn't Israel just wipe out all Palestinians in an afternoon?' question - it's because if they did you'd always remember the day that happened. Go slowly and the 'small' acts of everyday genocide become background noise for a lot of people.

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Someone let him hit with this horrifying tattoo of the person who was being cheated on staring back at them by the way.

Being too online is a constant self-own. But today. Today is one of those days that you're too online *for.* Today is one of those days where you're gonna have a rip-roaring time if you're too online.
