Speaking on this; there's a tumblr post that PERFECTLY explains why TERFs have 'so much reach', and folk need to see it. Stop engaging with TERFS, block them, and get them offline. Likewise, report *their* harmful comments. Organise and be smart.
Analytical AI is doing amazing things in science and medicine. Generative LLMs are theft. Do not conflate the two.
Oh shit! Kasei, look behind you!
Guy sees a woman behind one of the most publicized blocklists on bluesky in recent weeks and thinks she doesn't know how block buttons are supposed to be used :P
BRO.
So Blue Beetle hits a lot harder in 2025 than in ‘23. Man, I’m glad this movie is sorta recanonized in the new DCU.
Every single convention organizer, publisher, art director, project manager, etc. who's even once entertained the thought of using genAI imagery or LLM generated text at any stage should be paying *full* attention to how popular DragonCon is becoming for enforcing their "no genAI" policies.
Tataru 🥺 Minfilia I miss you too #Endwalker #FFXIV
And here’s a CyberWorld Optimus Prime v2 to go along with the Galvatron I did earlier. I was gonna draw the infamous jumping pose, but at the last minute, I decided on the DWJ pose. Hope y’all like.
Death by a thousand cuts. These censorious paypros and bills in committee will eat away at our ability to provide for ourselves. This is a sure outcome if we give up, but if we keep yelling we give ourselves another possibility
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
Next you'll tell me the British have a history of imperialism!
very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games
Honestly, Viga's scene at the end was the sort of thing I needed to hear myself. Well done on 800 episodes, to say nothing of everything else.
We need more mounts in spacesuits. Give the Amaro rocket boosters!
It's just that easy!

Oh shit, the Russian guy! I forgot about him.
I have not yet received an E-mail about this, but it looks like the issue has been corrected yet again. If you are able, please subscribe to the list NOW, before these obsessed fans try to report it all over again and cause this to happen for a third time. bsky.app/profile/marz...
Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business
Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.
YOU MUST BE JOKING, @safety.bsky.app, ARE YOU SERIOUS? TWICE?????
This helps explain how rich kids/nepo babies get offended when they are told they didn't earn their spot. It's not that they're delusional, they did throw the darts. They're just oblivious of the other factors...how many extra throws they got, how much closer to dart board they stood, etc.

Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation
AI's best use case will always be scams. It's scamtech, top to bottom. Everything about it is crooked. Its bedrock is theft and its legacy is the destruction of the environment, both physical and virtual. Even most of its 'legitimate' uses are a form of lying. "I wrote this." "I created this."
Worry not, feral Lyse will be back. But in the meantime #ffxiv
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
Oh lord, I need those two to meet so bad. Have Lyse as part of a party sent by the Alliance to find out WHAT THE HELL was going on that had Vrtra flying into battle.
But when you see it, you know exactly what kind of hilarity is about to ensue.
JRPG villains like
Smile is a good song, and it does fit Sphene. HOWEVER: Given the heavy American influences (I'm encompassing North and South America here and someone way more educated than me can point out what the SE music team tapped into), Smile would have *rocked* with a Black Gospel choir belting it out.

DON'T stop calling but DO stop listing what the payment is for, if that was a thing you're doing *wearily* don't ask don't tell is back, and it's for everything now
The bit with Sarah grieving over the fact she's starting to forget what he looked like, because she never dared keep any photos of him, just in case...
I thought the worm styled monster was going to burst out of RFK?
Well, Girlset's "first" single is now out, and I'm never gonna forget that this only exists after what apparently was a monumental level of abuse.
Yes yes, you're very tough mister 'made a burner account to harass a woman for wishing ill on a monster'.
If you're punishing homeless people knowing it won't make things better for them, and you're doing it anyway, it's not a solution, it's merely a show of force. A pointless show of force. And you know what that is, right? If the state cannot help, only punish. That's fascism right there.
Hi there. It's me again, the doofus who just said I'm not a political commentator and just wants to talk about videosgame and horror movies, I'm here to talk to you about a politic. If you don't want homeless people? Home them. Destroying their belongings and displacing them only makes it worse.
While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.
Escape pods are 'executive perks' that need an app to unlock... Fucking capitalism...
You all better follow the instructions on the side!

Genuinely have no idea how much longer I can take literally every trans person around me being on the edge of falling apart - and every now and again losing someone I can't help keep together - while the cis people just kinda nod and assume we're all being hysterical.
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
“A strange thing to ask. The queen was in no condition to speak. What need was there to seek her consent?” And Preservation continues to be FUCKED UP.
Sometimes you give trans women their lifelong dream of getting the bodies they deserve, sometimes you give them their lifelong dream of cool cars.
US TRANS FRIENDS: Drop your gofundmes, venmos, whatever ways of supporting you you have, in the replies. Then go make sure you have plans with loved ones to deal with the worst. I love you all. We will get thru it CIS PEOPLE: Go through the replies and donate money to someone. Then reskeet.
"How's it going, Sena?" Politicians are calling for the immediate detainment of all transgender people, and all 90% of my colleagues (including you) are talking about are VO roles you booked for your transphobic clients that wont hire us, and conventions you're guesting at. "Oh, it's all right."
this is probably the sort of thing i should be posting on the forums and not on tumblr but here is a gameplay opinion from an oldhead www.tumblr.com/aethernoise/...
Ah, yes, for all you young people: there was a relentless effort to manufacture a consensus that Columbine was caused by Goth culture, industrial music, and videogames. The neo-Nazism was buried, and anyone who pointed to easy access to guns was denounced as a liberty-hating tyrant.

Perfect!
Genuinely Yoshi P continues to handle modders with kid gloves because as a gamer he Gets It and doesn't want to really fuck with it but as The Guy In Charge he is trying to tell you to shut the fuck up so he doesn't have to do something drastic about it.
well and truly this I have never read an address from yoshi P that read more like "if you guys would kindly shut the fuck up and keep things to yourselves we won't have to have this conversation again" which is a significantly softer line than I ever expected when addressing modding
They have their priorities. They're messed up priorities, but they're there.
Trans rights are, at their most basic level, about bodily autonomy. Opposition to trans rights is therefore a strong signal that someone does not believe in bodily autonomy. When you combine this with how often they make trans *kids* the focus of their aggression that tells you something creepy.

We need to stop calling it "age verification," when it isn't that. It's identity verification, so call it that. More people will take issue with it whenever you call it that, because there're still a lot of people that don't realise that that's what it actually is.
The same thing happened in the lead up to World War 2. Studios and their actors turned blind eyes to the Nazis, if not downright protected them. Famously, the only studio at the time that spoke out against Nazi Germany was Warner Bros (who ultimately saw a great deal of success in doing so)
Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.
Mikoto has heard wild stories.

This is why it is really fucking important for people to fight this, look how fast and how far these kinds of laws and organization can just erase content that is perfectly legal and like normal for people And it will get worse if you let them off the hook, labour should be suffering from this law
Holy shit, burn it down. Burn it all down.
"Ozma: The Trans Witch of Oz" is 80% funded in 24 hours! 🏳️⚧️ Ozma is one of the strongest Trans allegories in fiction -- a lost princess who grows up as the "wrong gender" due to a spell from Mombi, the Wicked Witch of the North. (1/3)
...No. I shouldn't. ...But what if... Just a sip. And then suddenly... ...Y'know? Sometimes they make it too easy for me as a TF artist.

(scornful eyeroll) *This* skinny little early-twenties nurse was walking the midnight streets of Manhattan, all alone, when these guys weren't a glint in *anybody*'s eye. I rode the subway untroubled late at night. These guys are—most honestly—sad pitiful weenies unworthy of reproduction. 😏
We need to stop using a framework of 'ChatGPT killed someone', it feeds into the myth of the system's agency & OpenAI's framing. The right framework to use: OpenAI is continuing to perpetuate an indefinite industrial disaster. The oil pipe is not at fault when it breaks. The company that built it is
infuriating. I know a bunch of cons follow me. don't do this. AI has already stolen the work of hard working and passionate artists with real heart and pov. the artist's potential to make $$ in these convention spaces is more vital than ever. fuck off with this.
He's living down to the Garlean stereotype, that's for sure.
She's a professional businesswoman, she doesn't go in for grifting.

Something about this really makes me feel violated. It makes me feel forced to engage with technology I have serious ethical concerns with. I don’t know how to describe it. It just makes me want to throw up
To be fair, I don't think either of them have figured it out yet
I'm sorry but you can't name yourselves the Monstrous Cocks and expect me to take you seriously
lol
And absolutely no studio will learn anything from this. Animation will still get shafted. Treated like garbage. And then rebooted/remade as "Live Action" because that's the "real deal". Despite the constant #1 Movie In The World title holders and highest grossing films being animation.
My friend surprised me with a gpose of us and I’m DYINGGGGGG
From the concussion?
On the one hand, one should follow instructions with magical instruments. On the other, TOOT TOOT!
A nicer version of my old BW Megatron sketch. The sophisticated tyrant king.
Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.
Bulllllshit.

Entirely valid. There are places I haven't been able to eat at for decades because they pulled shit like this
Thread.
If he was going around saying 25 year old women are too young to make decisions about abortion, I wonder if he’d have such diehard lib support. Bodily autonomy is bodily autonomy.

GOOD NEWS As far as I can tell, from the E-mail I have just received, Bluesky has un-hidden the "Vic stans" list. You should be able to click it, dee it, follow it, and block the people on it. Thank you to everyone who helped. Vic Mignogna is a sex pest, & we deserve to be able to block his fans.
Heyyy I need more work, hit me up if interested! #commission #illustration #art
