New pinned post time. Hey there! I'm Lalas, and I do art sometimes but mostly just blather and then go "is this anything"? I do fandom art and OC art and I like to yell about fiction. That's pretty much it. Alt text happens when I have energy

Hey what do you mean "full game download, game card not included"

I wished to purchase a video game at a reasonable to generous price, what the heck is this???

Holy shit I just realized I can set up my Switch in the living room. There are definitely Just Dance games for the Switch, right? There's gotta be, it's a motion console

Anyway screw normal workouts, the world was a more heart-healthy place when everyone was weirdly obsessed with Just Dance

lalas181 @lalas181.bsky.social · 2h

I wish my steps were lighter so that I could do Just Dance again. The only available space for that is upstairs and whenever I try and dance up here I get so concerned I'll end up recreating that "hey Ron" meme by accident or make a lamp fall or something

Last week, one of my students said that she was compelled by law to draw pretty girls and she calls that “Yuri Duty” and the kids are all right.

Scam calls always spike in the fall. Remember, legitimate callers won't:

-Threaten to report you to law enforcement
-Get defensive about the call's legitimacy
-Hang up when you ask for a supervisor
-Ask for your SSN

If you EVER don't like the vibe, just bail. If it's real, they'll call back.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

1. Last night, 26 Senate Dems helped pass a NDAA containing a military trans sports and surgery ban and dropped demands for protections against US troop deployments in the bill.

It is the latest in the national fight over must-pass bills during the shutdown.

26 Senate Democrats Help Pass Military NDAA Containing Trans Sports, Surgery Ban, No Protection For US Troop Deployments

The bill passed by a wide margin in the Senate and will be the starting point for negotiations with the House, which contain more severe anti-trans riders.

TV tropes is an incredible triumph. It catalogued and organized the massive writers' toolbox and now everyone gets mad when the tools get used.

Lyta 🐅 Dangerous Fictions is OUT 🐅 Gold @lytagold.bsky.social · Aug 27

tv tropes taught a whole generation of readers to mistake basic pattern recognition for gotcha criticism and a whole generation of writers to feel insecure every time they came up with an idea that happened to be in conversation with other ideas

'Don't care if what they're looking at is AI'

Nah, we've been pretty vocal about how we don't like the idea of Generative AI in our entertainment. But let's see if that statement will still hold within a year or so, Mr. Blum.

Culture Crave 🍿 @culturecrave.co · 2d

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.
