If enough cartoons lose their tests though its going to become hard to justify spending the time to create new ones for future content unless the concept is stellar. It may be the end of an era...

This seems to be an emerging trend. I suspect the proliferation of AI generated thumbnails ripping off styles like mine may have devalued cartoons on the homepage, while photos inspire confidence that the content is real, and not slop. Just a theory though atm

It seems that my cartoon style thumbnails are falling out of favour, losing tests to photo based thumbnails instead. Here's the most recent retired cartoon

The effort to rehabilitate Liz Truss' image is as infuriating as it is baffling. There's only one way to paint Truss as sympathetic or worth listening to: lying. Its pathetic!

Wikipedia (and all websites, actually) should be in dark mode by default. I will defend that up to and including hand to hand combat with anyone who disagrees

The "show less like this" button doesn't seem to work at all. My discover feed remains full of scantily clad cartoon women. I love that for all you but its not my thing bluesky!

Sketch I made in early 2018 for a project on "future cars". I ended up developing a slightly different idea but I might have been on the money with this one in retrospect lol

Culture Crave 🍿 @culturecrave.co · Aug 25

YouTube is secretly using AI to edit people's videos

• Skin is being smoothed or sharpened

• Features like ears are being altered

• YouTube confirmed there's an 'experiment' on Shorts to 'unblur' and 'improve' clarity

• There's currently no way to opt out

Can anyone tell me why the fuck asmongold is so popular? Every clip or tweet I see of his seem to suggest he's a monumental fuckwit. It boggles my mind the number of people who eat it up!
