That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

I see some of you are still looking at other artist and comparing yourself to them. Really you need to stop looking at other artist, their numbers or whatever. Most of art success is about luck, getting your work seen. Don't be discouraged and start celebrating your successes, no matter how small.

96% of children in Gaza feel that their death is imminent and almost half want to die as a result of trauma. 92% of the children in the survey were “not accepting of reality”, 79% suffer from nightmares and 73% exhibit symptoms of aggression.

They actually published this David Mamet character screed verbatim like it's a bad thing anyone reasonable might disagree with.

Nothing funnier than when conservatives, who have put all their chips on "being the most hateful smirking assholes possible" for a decade now, try to do a pearl-clutch for sympathy

Remember, #TheGameAwards tonight might be fun, but there's still a #VoiceActor strike going on.

Support your favourite VA. Make the gaming companies sign a fair deal for performers.

Reject A*I at every turn. No exceptions.

Take a minute or less from your day to show solidarity with your trans brothers, sisters and partners and sign this petition campaign to get BlueSky to ban a known and documented creep from its site and enforce its ToS. His active presence here makes this app unsafe for everyone.

I bought a Christmas Furby to do pass the parcel at my friend's Christmas party! Hopefully it gets here on time

The AI generated subtitles on Crunchyroll are almost worse than no subs at all.

I like how this loops back into Bluesky's current safety failures. There's no "this is new ground" for this.

on that note, if @safety.bsky.app is thinking "but how will we achieve legitimacy if we ban "big names?" please note that even MEDIUM names *stop using social media* when you don't moderate harassment. letting assholes, however "big", do whatever they want, will lose you *hundreds* of bigger ones

stop acting like protecting marginalized people from harassment is going to cut into your bottom line, for fuck's sake

I love comics people, and I hope we all make it, and I bet there’s things to do to help that hope along.

If you’re cleaning out your bookshelf for the holidays, consider donating your comics in good used condition to our Comics Drive! This year we are donating YA and middle grade books to LAUSD middle schools and adult books to Heavy Manners Library. Drop them off in our donation area at the show.

What if you worked on investing in the things people like
