I hate that we have let the nastiest racists on earth define and redefine our language. From "woke" to "DEI." Trump's policies are not anti-DEI. They are racist. US firms did not abandon DEI policies. They fired competent black women in droves on the basis of race and sex.

DEI means recruiting the best candidates and appealing to the widest possible customer base - which results show is good for people, and for business www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

still thinking about her. its so over

caught you! #kingdomhearts #kh4

mak is stubborn, horrendously prideful, and violent. they've attacked several people upon first meeting and she's unlikely to ever admit if it was unwarranted -- and they rarely say sorry, as they're wont to believe their reasonings for what they do absolve the need for apologies.

In a space where people are standing and walking around (i.e. a museum exhibit), people’s likelihood to read something drops sharply past 50 words. Once you hit 100 words, your text physically repels people—they avoid standing near it or looking at anything nearby.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

POWER TRIP: ICE’s new electric shock gloves are designed to overpower subjects through intense pain. But it turns out there is a simple way to stop them working. Read the full story on @wired.com www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

thinking about the popularity of so many "redraw trends" and plagiarism of compositions by all sorts of artists (it comes up often for gposing but 2D artists do it too). i have to sum up my discomfort with it as follows: it's artists treating other artists the same way A/I treats art as data

IS IT BRIGHT WHERE YOU ARE?

amazing what getting cracked will do for ur mental health

I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND !!

Erotica must be a little bit cringe, a lil bit gross. If you think your tastes line up exactly with the most formulaic romance where everyone kisses very normally and Tab A goes in Tab B perfectly, I think you are doing yourself a disservice. I might go so far as to say it lacks bravery, or honesty

Due to some racist comments from a now former coworker, my pay and hours immediately getting cut after being hired, and some passive aggressive behavior from the store owner, I have to look for another job. In the meantime, my mother and I need help covering our rent for September. Anything helps.

Friendly reminder that Comic Fury is free and anti-AI. I use ComicFury for my comics and use a domain for my links. It's a good idea to have both, but at the very least you can have a free safe space for your comics.
