Wow. Wildwood is utterly stunning. I would never have guessed this was stop motion. Love the story, character are compelling, and there were so many more furries than I expected. And the birds? The environment? Septima being adorable? Amazing. Yeah strong recommend. #Wildwood

Showed up 8 minutes before the start of Wildwood and there wasn't another soul in the theater. I had to double check I hadn't slid into the backrooms by mistake. There's three others here now so no epic liminal shenanigans for me.

The chili came out "fine", as in not offensive and chili flavored. The lentils did a great job of giving it good texture, but as usual, I failed to season it enough. It's chili-flavored, but not nearly enough, and not nearly enough heat. Lessons learned.

I see someone is trying to make a go at taking over PF and I'm like... why now? Why after the wheels have come off? After the pilot is burnt to a crisp? PF has been asking for help for literally years. I just... I don't get it, and I'd have a hard time putting faith in it.

Someone made the statement that we need to stop trying to bring back old Tumblr, and I find myself agreeing. It wasn't sustainable, and every other version of it has had the same result. We need to change direction. I just don't know what that looks like.

A tragic loss. Thank you for your years of effort, Julia.

The magnificent Priconodon, one of a dozen sculptures on the new dinosaur discovery trail in Laurel, Maryland. Free and open everyday for all your life-sized dinosaur needs.

I've been an absolute slug for the past 24 hours. Like, literally old school depression crash out. Laying in bed drifting in and out of sleep. Nothing's done. Didn't take any of my meds. Didn't buy groceries. Didn't do laundry. No energy. No motivation. Just utterly worthless.

I don't know why this is happening. It's been building up for a couple weeks now actually. I fought through it until Saturday afternoon when I started playing a game and didn't stop until five in the morning. Nothing's changed. Everything is just as fucked and bad as it has been in the world.

I had the forethought at some point in the night to set a loud alarm for 5:30am today. I still snoozed it for 20 minutes or so. I still feel lethargic and sluggish, but at least I'm up and I'll be on time for work. You think you're doing everything right...

hey all, just a heads up to my artist peers- this is all AI slop, I would avoid this. It isn't adobe code, it's just vibecoded to emulate their features.

James O'Malley@jamesomalley.co.uk

Holy shit. Someone has decompiled the Adobe suite, rebuilt it in Rust and released it as open source. Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update. getartcraft.com/apps

I really really hope someday there is a world where gender is understood entirely as what it is: a freedom of expression

This can't be stressed enough. Everything, and I mean ev-ery-thing they have been doing has been performative. All the hype, all the doom drumming, all the "ex-employee" drama, all of it is to create an illusion of value that They. Cannot. Produce. And. Won't. Produce. For. Decades. If ever.

What infuriates me is that enough people have bought into the myth that the scam might actually work? Suffice to say, I'm bumping this because we urgently need like, Everyone, to not buy into their stupid regulate-me-daddy trick. It's so stupid. This whole thing is so stupid. It shouldn't work. Agh.

Yep, this Hacker News post has the right of it. They're pushing for a "great slowdown" because the gains have been incremental for, uh, a while. Like I'm not saying it's nothing, but it's nowhere near enough to get them to profitability, so they need an escape, and now. Or their valuation poofs.

I had to knock out a quick response to this garbage. Wouldn't it be amazing if they actually commissioned a real artist? Wouldn't it have been so easy? There's so many of us who would've been so happy to be involved in a project like this.

Looks like New Mexico’s state parts got tricked about their new mascot, this is almost certainly AI. Notice the hands- the left has human nails. The right hand has both human nails and dog nails, at the same time

Hundreds of thousands of exceptionally qualified furry artists in this country and around the world who would have leaped at the opportunity to produce this series. Nah... Gotta use a slop bot and a photoshopper. It's all just sad and exhausting at this point.

Sad to see the new furry mascot for New Mexico State Parks has the hallmarks of being made with AI. You heard it here first folks! "Ranger Rio" is not to be trusted. #NewMexico #Burquesky

Hahaha Oh wow!

hey so the channel 4 documentary team going around trying to get info out of furries to publish a tell-all, erroneous, wildly misinterpreted view of the fandom, is the same team who did the ADHD documentary, where they tried to say ADHD might be a social construct fucking idiots, shut them out

restlessBear reposted

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

I've been avoiding this purchase in an effort to keep my kitchen appliances minimal and dual use, but I've come to realize there's just no good substitute for a simple bread toaster. So I finally broke down and bought one. Six bucks from the habitat store.

Remember the media aren’t your friends! There’s no explaining anything when they have an editing studio that’ll cut up whatever you say. There’s nothing wrong with this fandom having a NSFW side, but Channel 4 will want to convince the nation there is.
