Great show. Season One might be a bit clumsy, but 2-4 are just amazing. Also the later arc is depressingly relevant to our current situation in the US. If you’ve never watched this show I’d strongly recommend it.

If you don't understand the gravity of how important it is to call your reps about Section 230, this is a great video to watch.

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

I'm going to promote the heck out of this:

The Minneapolis Foundation has $4 million in grants available to small businesses for everything from rent and payroll costs to legal help and temporary relocation.

More details and the application here: www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/comm...
Economic Response Fund Grant Guidelines
Small businesses in Minnesota that have experienced operational disruptions in recent weeks may now apply for emergency financial support through the Economic Response Fund.

I went to art school...

I had no clue this is what people meant by "warm ups". Like, a whole routine? Each part specific and functional? Dang.

Probably would have less "forgot how to draw" days if I did these every time. I'm gonna try it.

BLUESKY, DISCORD AND ITS ALTERNATIVES, YOUR ART SITES, YOUR ADULT SITES, FANFICTION

ALL OF IT DIES WITHOUT SECTION 230 GET CALLING

#savespeech #stopcensorship #section230 #defendsection230 #defends230
If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.
Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)

There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory
