A New Color (1/5🧵)

ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD) My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

Maybe I'm in the minority here but if people who support AI are being shamed into silence then it's working. The shame is working as intended. The left's biggest problem is that it's afraid to hurt the feelings of folks who need to have their feelings hurt. Let them experience introspection for once

All of the LLMs stole from me. Most of the big "A.i." billionaires are horrifying right wingers. Consumer-facing generative "A.i." "writing" and "art" tools deskill people, cheat kids out of real education, spread falsehoods and disinfo, and violate privacy. So no, I ain't using that shit.

idk man i just don't think the question is "is ai (claude, chatgpt, etc) useful?" more than it's "can we use ai ethically / safely" and the answer to the latter is no

I cannot express this any better.... the frustration is real

I love science fantasy. Give me magic in space. Give me glowing crystals that do math. Give me spaceships with psychic powers.

[redacted person who does not know whose mentions they wandered into]: In my city, the cyclists are so entitled, they act like they own the roads. Me: LET THE BIKES OWN THE ROADS. THE BIKES ARE FAR LESS DANGEROUS AND POLLUTING BY ABSOLUTELY EVERY MEASURE. MAKE THE CARS PAY TOLLS TO THE CYCLISTS.

These lil guys have successfully yelled their way into occasional roaming privileges. They are very soft T0T

I'm sure it is bad when cyclists intentionally do things that make themselves or others less safe but that is a completely unrelated conversation unless you're pointing out that good bike infrastructure makes it significantly less likely that cyclist behavior will impact other people in any way!

Bro. People are cool as fuck.

we should *definitely* trust the metrics from the company that invented the metaverse and "pivoting to video" 🙄

Two possibilities: —Threads is becoming the dominant text-based social media app even though nobody you’ve ever met has ever used Threads —Meta is doing some funky math and just counting people who use their Instagram accounts as active Threads users

HOW are people still obsessed with HP?! idc if you grew up with it, you can still hold onto those good memories. supporting HP in 2026 means you're actively hurting Trans folks. I feel the same way about anyone still eating Chick Fil a. It's a fucking anti-lgbtq sandwich. You're funding bigotry.

Separating the art from the artist only really works when the artist has died, not when they're actively using their income to harm Trans people. If you're continuing to put your money into Harry Potter-related things, you're funding efforts to hurt Trans people. It's really that simple.

I keep harping on this but AI “writers” and “artists“ keep showing what unserious tourists they are. People who actually create agonize over adverbs and color palettes and metaphors and gesture. AI people can’t even be bothered to skim their own book once

This is just so depressing to see. Readers deserve better than this.

Might as well post it here! A magical girl animation I've been slowly chipping at over the weekends for ages.

Another delayed artfight post. Had a lot of fun practicing this style for artfight. They're a pair of older characters in love! The man's taller than the satyr, but he's kneeling down so she can more easily hold his face. #artfight #artfight2026 #teamtragedy #OCs #dnd #satyr #goat #furry

Musk should be forced to use his personal wealth to clean it up. Clean the moon, you dead eyed haddock-faced bitch. What do you mean it's too hard? you were going to have a city living on Mars as soon as 8 years ago. Do it by Tuesday.

American farmers slid solar panels over 62,000 acres of farmland, and the biggest payoff had almost nothing to do with electricity

Long rows of solar panels march across the desert, and underneath them, where the ground should be baked and bare, there are rows of green.

New sticker for Fall SPiCE and TFcon Orlando, probably? Rainforest Cafe homage because I thought it was funny.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Oops. I haven't been posting my artfight pieces on here. I'll put them out one at a time over the next few days... Better late than never, right? Did this one of mine and a friend's OCs as beings of their different faiths. #artfight #artfight2026 #teamtragedy #OCs #dnd #mermaid #siren #angel
