I know public transit might be a new experience for some folks but when you’re in a packed terminal train and there are multiple people trying to get through the doorway you’re standing in, including someone in a wheelchair, it shouldn’t take the Evil Perky Voice to prompt you to move.

Cayenne was born in Golmore, in a village close enough to the edge that keeping outsiders out was an active practice. Ulls was born in Ala Mhigo.

#wolqotd #wolquestion Where was your OC born? Do they like their homeland? And as the player was there a reason why you pick that place?

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.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

I’ll probably do a wee bit of streaming either weds or thurs to work on occult crescent + see if anyone wants their rainbow pony Going home tomorrow!

No data centers, no ai, NO BILLIONAIRES Fave commission so far this year.

Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.

Hundreds of millions for a gas-guzzling AI machine to power Mark Zuckerberg's advertising business. So much for "sovereignty." That sum is pocket change to Meta, but the federal government thinks lending them this money is a good use of public funds. #Canada #CdnPoli #NoAI #DataCentres #BigTech

NEW: Export Development Canada provided between $100 million and $200 million in project financing for the gas-fired plant that will power Meta's data centre in Sturgeon County, Alta., Canada's National Observer has discovered.

i hate how much people care about their ships being "canon" now. spirk fans didn't publish zines full of fanfics in the 70s only for modern fandom to grovel at the knees of corporations and beg for things to be canon. use your imaginations, don't allow billionaires to think for you.

My mom took me out at the knees today - I was doing the dishes and letting the water run, and she went “sure are using a lot of water for someone who fights data centers” It was such a mom comment, and damn she got me good

A toxic beach is bad for everyone - homeowners, renters, tourists, and obviously our wildlife. Don’t let big oil ruin Vancouver. Let’s join the Tsleil-Waututh Nation and COPE Councillor @seanorrofficial and RESIST development without protections for our residents and our environment.

“Do Dead Malls Go To Heaven?” Experimented a bit with a new way of detailing the tiles. Kinda like it? This particular piece took a hell of a lot of work. I’d love if you shared the vibes it’s giving off, for research purposes. (WIP process in comments)

Sin that must be eternally punished is a culturally Christian idea that you can and should reject. If someone admits wrongdoing and changes their behavior, that's the desired outcome. You don't continue to punish because you then signal there's no point to contrition at all, you're damned either way

who called it The Vampire Lestat and not Cunt Dracula

Australia is planning some of the world's toughest AI regulations • Water usage will be limited • AI data centers will be required to become net producers of energy • AI companies can't train on Australian creators' work without their permission • Proposals expected to be introduced in 2027

Not a fleshed out thought but I keep thinking about the YouTube kids slop from 5-10 years ago, the Elsa finger family peppa pig Spider-Man stuff that was everywhere, and how it was a problem because it would just auto play and was so… child unfriendly, ultimately

As an artist, I don't care about nor want to look at ai slop, and that makes ai dudes mad. I think it's because they've never actually experienced putting art out into the world before. Sometimes people just don't wanna look at your shit and there's nothing you can do about it.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer person 😇

To fund the Paramount deal Larry Ellison will either need to liquidate all of his Tesla stock or pledge more of his Oracle shares, which would put him in a precarious situation depending on how badly Oracle’s stock does by September 30, which will only make things tighter. bsky.app/profile/lite...

Watching my upstairs neighbor’s cat and I am so much more insulated from street noise facing the courtyard This post is brought to you by the presence of the ice cream man and how much louder it is and how much more I wanna run down and get ice cream

Don’t know who to credit for this. But it is how I feel.

You could get mad about dead senator discourse *or* you could enjoy this video of sea lions who have retaken an island with a decommissioned lighthouse off the coast of Oregon and now use the staircase as a giant slide.

Thinking maybe I"ll stream a few times this week to force myself to work on commissions lmao. I have several to finish before next tuseday, so committing to I'm Drawing On Camera will maybe force me to not slack off...

This is a brilliant essay, which, in my view, accurately describes the predicament of the post-Boomer generations, and the vast infrastructure of lies designed to disguise it. "Degeneracy is a symptom. The disease is rent." 🧵 henryfudgeofficial.substack.com/p/degeneracy...

I tried out calling my period “Leon Clotsky bringing the red army to Moscow” and didn’t get the laughs I expected so now I’m saying it here because I’m cringe
