He / They I post art here sometimes, but I mostly lurk. Sorry 💔

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

Getting a bit tired of very rich actors and directors saying ‘AI is here we have to learn how to use it’ instead of ‘I am wealthy enough to dedicate myself only to projects which employ talented human beings because anything else is an existential threat to human storytelling’

I liked Tangle Tower a lot but man, The Mermaid Mask is a perfect adventure game. I was charmed by every moment with its characters and compelled by every step of the mystery. And the climax it builds to is incredibly striking and just the right amount of eerie. Damn good game.

seen a lot of webcomic and personal sites using imgur to host extra images for some reason - imgur is completely blocked in the uk! your sites are full of massive "YOU CANT ACCESS THIS CONTENT IN YOUR REGION" banners! please upload any extra layout images locally!!!

What the fuck is it good for? Im asking sincerely. Medical people say its shit for diagnosing, its utter garbage for creative fields, it cannot teach and hallucinates false answers, programmers have to fix its code half the time, businesses find it doesn't help productivity and it causes psychosis.

Research confirms that the more skilled professionals like doctors and software engineers rely on AI, the more their skills degrade. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Money sucks, I hate money, I need money, I don't understand money, I'm making one continuous mistake, money is stupid, money MAKES you stupid, the only people who know how to do money right are fuckin miserable

...and ftr: i'm tired of "frightened cops." if the defense is that "you were scared" then turn in your badge in and go be an accountant. mail/delivery people run into unfriendly dogs daily/hourly. not once has a ups/usps/prime driver ever had to shoot one.

this sucks. nashville zoo is one of the most modern, humane, and accessible zoos in the country. if you care about conservation, critters, and science, go sign and go raise hell. nash zoo is also a bastion of science and equality as a southern workplace. please please protect it.

They’re trying to build a data center next to the Nashville Zoo Petition here, if you’re so inclined: c.org/KxhXznzBcD

Nashville Zoo

We're asking our community to stand with us in protecting the animals, habitats, people and future of Nashville Zoo.
A proposed 69,000-square-foot data center is planned for property directly adjacent to the Zoo. While developers claim the facility will have no impact, no environmental studies or impact assessments have been conducted to evaluate potential effects on our animals, visitors, staff, or the surrounding community.
Data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity and water; straining power grids, depleting natural resources, and damaging our watershed. With nothing more than the word of a profit-seeking developer, how are we to know this new data center will not lead to irreversible damage to the animals we exist to protect?
We cannot afford to find out years from now how this facility has negatively impacted our 1.4 million annual visitors, our local community, or the 3,000 animals entrusting us with their care. We are calling on the Nashville community to join us in our fight to stop this data center from being built, now.
Please sign our petition and say yes to the Zoo by saying no to the new data center

Includes photos of a big cat at the zoo and a photo showing how close the data center would be to the zoo

being able to navigate the internet with the ability to avoid things that you don't want to see is seriously something I whole hearted endorse. we need it in all spaces 🥰

The Mermaid Mask - our new mystery detective adventure game (and the follow-up to 2019's Tangle Tower) launches July 16 for PC, PS5, Switch and Switch 2

Reminder that supporting an artist and an indie project is only so that artist can survive while they create their project since otherwise it would be impossible to that project to be made. It doesn't and never didn't mean that you have power on what the artist does with their OWN project.

The worst part is, most of the people that do this kind of shit won’t face consequences, either because they’re relatively obscure in the online landscape or everyone is too apathetic to do anything about it. Where did people’s empathy go? Since when did we get so mean?
