fuck this. imagine being so rock hard for money deals you'd pillage your own humanity, and openly devalue your employees and fans to add a few picometers to your already egregious stacks.

fuck hasbro. protect trans people.

I know this had to be so hard to do. Rodney is a real one, and I appreciate his sacrifice to make this known. It was the right thing to do.
Today I emailed publishers about a concerning practice a board game media creator engaged in. This will likely become public, so I'm providing the details here to give the full context of what I shared.

most of adult life is mitigating risk, whilst trying to juggle infinity problems all while staying alive and out of jail. like how is this not hell again?

thanks! I'm a designer by profession so I used Pro Create to illustrate textures, and the logo mark, then Figma to vectorize the logo mark, and to build the format frame using the textures. color scheme is based on the dark mode for outlawstandard.com mixed with the miniature's color scheme.

yes this is common. and yes your neighbor is also a dick. and no they didn't care about the space, they cared about control, and are bored and boring. Gift them a board game with a note that says, "I bet this is more fun than policing parking spaces. acab."

AI use is a capitalist trap. you are giving away your agency, creativity, and voice to a machine.

AI is not "democratizing" art. It is just another means of production that is controlled by a handful of elites that would step over your corpse while showing your replacement to their station.

β€œIf I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who’s going to win the race?”

art is NOT a race. art is not a commodity. there is NO scarcity. it makes no difference how fast or slow you make art.

AI is not art. if you use AI you are not an artist.

my soulmate @dharmafrog.bsky.social told me I'm not showing off the finished models enough, so I present to you the completed leader of my #stormcasteternals army Yndrasta. #warhammer #warhammercommunity #hobby #miniaturepainting #ageofsigmar

sounds like a great place.

in what world does a high fidelity artifact serve a purpose if it's not the final production outcome?
February 7, 2026 at 9:55 PM
it makes me wonder if folks think it takes less time to describe concepts to a LLM, than to do a quick thumbnail sketch? OR is it just the fidelity at speed they are after, do they believe a fully rendered Ghibli style storyboard is a better artifact than a sketch -> process -> to realized vision?

if I say Jesus Christ! or God Damnit! I'm not taking the lord's name in vain. That's not what that means.

um. actually, it's when you do something terrible in the name of God. i.e. putting Christ Follower in your bio while being a transphobe and racist on main.

might be onto something here. they hate everything the left says, so if we convince them Briar rabbit style that we like the idea of a king they'll put a direct stop to it!

Oh! I bet he thinks that Obama called the Affordable Care Act Obama Care, which was like a shitty nickname the right used to make it seem terrible for their base. what a absolute dipshit.
