famously a guy so anti-worker that he specifically told Bob Iger he would renege the Pixar buyout unless they were guaranteed to be non-union, and co-concocted a wide-ranging wage-fixing conspiracy across multiple studios, so I'm not surprised

Cartoon Brew@cartoonbrew.bsky.social · 4h agoPixar co-founder and former Disney Animation president Ed Catmull will judge a new generative AI film competition. The organization is promoting him as “the man who invented 3D graphics” who will judge “the first generation of AI filmmakers.” www.cartoonbrew.com/artificial-i...
I bring a real "Generative AI is in part a conspiracy to devalue labor power in the creative arts and centralize power in the executive class" energy that people like Mr. Catmull really doesn't like
We think this challenge is incredibly important – it goes to the very heart of whether trans inclusion is still lawful. But it is impossible without your support.

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Mamdani Is Shunning New York Business Leaders Who Are Used to Calling the Shots
The mayor fired corporate leaders from a city fund’s advisory board in the latest sign that he is changing the way such power brokers access City Hall.

considering how well things are going in new york, the lesson here is clear: fuck these people

Ayo@darrylayo.bsky.social · 22h agoGuys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
Oh my GOD, could you imagine the horror of going onto somewhere like Youtube and NOT being bombarded with the AI drivel that plagues the 3rd result on every page?!? I can't imagine living without it!! (massive, massive sarcasm, I despise Youtube's AI pushing so much)
Ayo@darrylayo.bsky.social · 22h agoGuys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
okay but, this is the way we fight AI in everyday life we need to foster an atmosphere of disgust and repulsion of AI, like AI is like seeing a roach in a google review. Get up and leave the restaurant. "um, I just saw some AI stuff, I just... I dunno, it's gross haha. I'm good. thanks. Thank you"
jess m. 🌤️@jametc.bsky.social · 23h agowe need to be normies about this and be like "EEEWW... IS THAT AI? THAT'S SO GROSS.... EW IT LOOKS SO GROSS (gag noise) UM, LET'S GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. EW LOL" normalize being outwardly repulsed by it physically

The crowd was equally indignant, reportedly booing whenever Cunningham touched the ball.

Been seeing the “how do you break in” conversations floating around and I remember in my early days of just wanting to work in film all the conversations were about how to break in. Turns out the answer is just show up and do the work. Make friends. Be helpful.

and Inversely, no matter how much the establishment Dems lose, its never an damnation of their policies or politicians.
Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 2d agoJust so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.
I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
I'm at the Trust The Process phase but I am mostly satisfied save for the fabric not being stiff enough so the stitch tension is wrapping the linework on my trees 😡
I love when longboarders start appearing in the spring, just nonchalantly rolling down the street. #CruxBatArt #Furry
Every time there's a headline like this, it's suburban store owners who themselves drive to work and can't imagine anyone getting there any other way.

My neighbor across the street got burglarized and he said the cops literally said "we're on to these guys" after saying "they've hit 20 houses in the area" and then he asked why they were able to hit 20 houses if the cops were "on to these guys" and that was the end of the investigation lol
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
i wanna know which extremely online lawyer made sure to require the post be pinned. genius.
