these people calling everyone against genAI a 'gatekeeper' are so fucking funny artists and writers are literally unable to shut the fuck up about process we live and breath process and discuss it OPENLY if me talking about drawing is gatekeeping i think you might be just a lazy asshole

Doug Wood@dougawood.bsky.social · 2d agoHi folks! Making comics is hard. Being a disabled creator making comics can feel like an impossibility.

🚨 Caped Crusader spoiler! 🚨 Episode 5 Barbara’s hero pose moment taking a gun out of a drawer really drove the point of what’s becoming clear to me with this season. This is a hard boiled CSI:Batman world. :(
Dan Membiela@danmembiela.bsky.social · 19h agoI am enjoying it, but a downbeat, detective (read cop not sleuth) setting really isn’t what makes the character fire on all cylinders.
The board of a Michigan township agreed to rezone a terrain to make way for a data center. Residents opposed to the data center forced a vote on the matter, and they blocked the rezoning tonight: www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...
Actually, my days would improve if AI disappeared tomorrow. No more looking at an image and wondering if it's real or fake -- or getting upset and disgusted with people I know for using AI, sharing obvious AI slop, etc.
no brain, only alison@alisonborealis.bsky.social · 17h agoAbsolutely nothing about my days would change if AI disappeared tomorrow. I would have to click through on the search engines to actually read the definitions of the words I look up, I guess. But I should be doing more of that anyway.
I couldn’t be prouder of the movement we’ve built in mid-Michigan. Thank you, Ambassador Bridget Brink and Matt Maasdam, for your years of public service and all your hard work on the campaign trail. While tonight we celebrate, there’s still much more work ahead.

Voted! Can Michigan have a little progressives, as a treat? Please!
I am so proud of the movement we have built here. We are where we are because of the friends and neighbors who have showed up day in and day out for this campaign. Thank you to everyone who showed up at the polls today to vote! 2 hours to go!
Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w agoA friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?
I know it’s a me issue but headshot/PFPs of “intense” “cool” dudes always look the opposite to me.
People across the political spectrum want candidates who stand up to Silicon Valley billionaires and AI data centers. 66% of Independents & 47% of Republicans want to back candidates running to pause data center construction. That's how we'll win today, and again on Nov 3rd.

We're 25% of the way to our modest goal, which is amazing, but we'd love to see that number continue to creep up today! And if you like things creeping up on you in a scary and sexy way, good news, you'll like Monster Under the Bed!
David Mariotte - MUTB Kickstarter is LIVE!@davidmariotte.bsky.social · 2d agoI realized that I haven't really talked about what all you can get if you back my (writing as @dukenucum.bsky.social) and @jamesotron.bsky.social's Monster Under the Bed Kickstarter! So, here's the breakdown! 1. You can always back and not get a reward. We know this isn't everyone's cup of tea.

I’m glad people are bringing up There Will Come Soft Rains, a real fable about how technology doesn’t really care about if we’re here at all, because it can’t, it’s not programmed to, so the value of life amongst those who live it is more valuable
