A quirk swap happens between Hagakure and Iida. Hagakure immediately takes advantage by going out on a fun date with Ojiro and taking lots of adorable pictures to immoralize the 24 hours they have with her completely visible to everyone, speeding around to sightsee.

Iida, on the other hand, uses

It is engineering malpractice that this site has not yet implemented an option to allow people to private their accounts, given that they’re a US based company, and the US is going through what it’s going through.

But hey, waffles, amirite.

Few artists’ entire body of work have meant as much to me over the course of my life as Drew Struzan’s has. With his gift every movie felt epic & important whether the artwork was framed in the movie theater lobby or sitting on the video store shelf.

"Deku, let's make a pinky promise."

Six-year-old Izuku looks up from the herb he's cataloguing, blinking at the young hunter. "Pinky promise? For what?"

Red eyes stare him down, holding the mentioned finger up. "That when we're old enough, you'll be my bride."

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 14h

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

At a time when billionaires would be all too happy to replace artists with AI slop, I think it's important to celebrate artists like Drew Struzan.

If you've seen a movie poster in the past 30+ years, you've seen something he did. A true master of the craft.

Today felt like this again but with folks arguing for public eugenics so they don't have to take any effort instead of fighting for clean safe-to-breathe air as a basic human right.

Too much focus on what yall WONT do for others & not enough on what we SHOULD.

to be clear biden would not actually have had to violate us law to stall weapons shipments to israel, bc there were already other us laws he was ignoring about not arming rogue states

and again he could have called bibi at any time and just *threatened* to withhold aid (LIKE REAGAN DID) as leverage

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.
