If you, as a Creative -are unable to understand why Creatives will have a problem w you using generative, thieving "AI" / LLMs in the Arts -can't grasp the nuance in the begrudging acceptance of ppl being anti-AI yet still using SM that uses it You are a deeply unserious person (& NOT a witch)

Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x

Medicine. Medicine has grown by leaps and bounds. You cannot introduce vaccines that crater cancer rates, cure AIDS, and cure sickle cell, and then tell me things have only gotten worse. Also: Food. To a HUGE degree. I eat what I once considered rare treats every day, now.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

Hey, folks. There's a @gofundme.com set up for artist Andy Fish, who is going through a very tough fight with two forms of cancer. He and his wife, cartoonist Veronica Fish (my Blackwood series cohorts) could use some help during this very tough time. I'm donating, hope you can. tinyurl.com/4wa86a6c

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Anything that's important should be repeated often. If it's a theme hammer it. If it's an organization have lots of related NPCs, friends and foes, if it's a spell, have items and countermeasures for it. Reputation reinforces and foreshadows what's important to the setting.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

TYSM I HAVE to have the majority by 8/8. The person offering space is working herself to 💀 working multiple jobs & can’t find a SAFE roommate. Needs me to do what I can around the house so she has time to rest. I also will not make it here alone in the streets Need miracle bsky.app/profile/glit...

Not in my home. Absolutely not. We are going to squash this disgusting measure at the polls. We are not doing pedophilia, misogyny, and transphobia disguised as "fairness." This is beyond wrong; beyond invasive. The proponents of predatory measures like this should be in jail.
