TrampolineTales is, and always will be, a genAI-free studio. Yes, that includes code.
Tonight's movie was an emotional journey of family & secrets. How far are you willing to go to get your family safe? A little too artsy for most of the others in my theater, who wanted more traditional entertainment, more action or comedy or whatever, but I savored the storytelling.

I found out that my local movie theater does those mystery showings, where you get an early screening but you don't know what movie you'll see, & I finally made it out to one! I probably wouldn't have sought out I Play Rocky, but it was a wonderful time. Great tale of an iconic film.
We're trying to find art for baby's room, and both Etsy and Amazon are flooded with AI--anyone got tips for websites to JUST browse art and prints that will benefit real artists?
do not funnel your grief over this death into trek and x-men merch, paramount & disney dont need your money. go to plays, give to charities, vote for candidates who will fund public art, and you will make it possible for people like patrick stewart to exist and keep existing. a rising tide lifts all
Jessica Ritchey@jmritchey.bsky.social · 2w agoIf you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.
I picked a TNG episode almost at random, it was Cause & Effect. The respect that Crusher deserves & receives is so nice, & we get to see Picard treat her such warmth, as a friend & an equal.

Patrick Stewart regularly highlighting his close friendship with Ian McKellen in ways that said "fuck you" to homophobes is honestly something we need more cis het men to do.
There's five million things to remember Patrick Stewart for, but I will always remember him as someone who grew up watching his WWII vet father regularly beat the shit out of his mother, and his recognition that stopping violence against women was not just a "women's issue" but "humanity's issue"
Good night, sweet prince. I can think of nothing more Patrick Stewart than his appearance on Sesame Street, matching a wry wit with Shakespearean perfection. Never met him, wish I had.
Since it appeared on Nintendo Indie World, a reminder that Spirit Crossing by Spry Fox uses AI, and the developer has refused to disclose it on their storefronts
🌙 CamronJK 🐰 • Enby Bnuuy Vtuber • 🏳️⚧️@camronjk.com · 5mo agoSo, hey, @spryfox.bsky.social's title, Spirit Crossing, sadly does in fact use GenAI. Dev's have confirmed as much in their Discord. There is a Claude file in the game files for the playtest that started a conversation about it, and sadly, that will be the end of it for me. I'm heartbroken...

Having a friend who hasn't seen many horror movies but wants to: truly a blessing, a joyous time in life. I've shown him Oddity, HIM, & Backrooms. Tomorrow we're doing The Medium, & The Wailing. I CAN'T WAIT. He's not super excited about subtitles, but I think he'll end up agreeing it's worth it.
Current mood: grabbing the chocolate out of my trail mix
How does Bioware get shut down instead of making the most amazing RPG ever that we all spend our money on gladly? We're in the wrong timeline.
