so i guess I'm here forever now huh

a very cynical part of me feels like it won't be long before the "AI can make you ~personalised art~" argument becomes used to try and coopt in bad faith arguments about representation or the lack thereof in media by going "look stop complaining about not being represented in art, you can ~prompt~"

finished the first season of Fate/Strange Fake and its definitely the first Fate series that gave me the same vibe as Fate/Zero (as in the feeling that anyone could die and anyone could "win") whyyyyy are seasons only 13 episodes these days I need the next cour noowwwwww :(

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

It’s genuinely depressing how many people’s entire worlds are just 2-3 children’s cartoon franchises. I don’t even think it’s wrong to like kids shows as an adult or anything but there’s more out there even within that space to explore!

The way some people on the internet talk about things… like, man, please I’m begging you, pick up another book, watch another tv show, play another game, anything. Engage with more and more kinds of art.

I know I'm potentially siccing a lot of people on me by saying this but. I think it's time to acknowledge that a lot of the "bearing witness" people just have a morbid curiosity in watching violent content, feel guilty about it, and are rationalizing it.

⚠️ A massive leak containing model sheets, puppet rigs, storyboards, and other materials from Cartoon Network shows have been spread on the internet. Fans are speculating that the Skydance merger (as Paramount’s content is very notorious of getting leaked) was the cause.
