Please note, If I do not respond to your comments, It does not mean I am not paying attention. I read every comment although I am not sure how to respond to all of them, especially from strangers. Please do not take offense.

This is gross on every level. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Pay Pros keep censoring actual artists over "concerns" and then AI companies just run this as ads on Youtube now.

Sorry, I take extended breaks by living under a rock and avoiding online stress, I hope I did not say something offensive.

given that I just read an audiobook of "I have no mouth and I must scream" I wonder what A very different Ellison would think about this

I can't repost this because a close friend seems to have some kind of serious reason she can't play NITW, but I really love this game inspite of it's lore's implications.

I can no longer call the one person i like to talk to regularly because my cell phone does not work. I do not visit sus sites. I do not download bad faith apps. And yet I must suffer because family is insane or stupid. Or insanely stupid.

Amazing that people get mad when I make my own plan for my life when their plans don't involve me or cut me out completely.

If you don't talk to me at all, you don't get to control my thoughts, or tell me what to do. YOU. ARE. NOBODY. FK OFF.

Amadeus Esso @pencilsplz.bsky.social · 5d

Before people block me, please understand I was in a toxic family connection for almost all my life that included manipulation and aforementioned cruel acts, it wasn't until I set boundaries, I started healing. At least I can limit my stressors, now.

Amadeus Esso @pencilsplz.bsky.social · 5d

What I'm about to say might be triggering but this is educational.

If u an adult living with your folks, and they are doing things to keep you too sick to do self-care or hang out with friends, that's called ab*se. No denying that. It sucks watching someone I like struggle against their toxic cage.

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

"But kindness is all around you!"

"Yeah? What about all these creators dying? And what about these rich dickheads that profit off of the creators that are being propped up and kept alive by perpetual torment engines?"

This is the aesthetic I like that no one wants to acknowledge. muscular non-human dudes into feminine clothes. I mean yeah, it's tied to a specific OC of mine or two but IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME. Look away from me and say "He ain't right" if you must, but do not try to invalidate it.

I'm suddenly reminded of a "former employer who used to rail against the protests in Chicago making life for him inconvenient. I wonder if his social media platform of choice hasn't introduced his face to a car door yet

ME five years ago: "I woke up from an anxiety-induced dream where me and someone else could not be friends because they did not like me"
Me now: "Fuck 'em"

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There.

A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

Was it a video generated to get me in trouble for sharing it? Who knows.

Amadeus Esso @pencilsplz.bsky.social · 22d

Long story short, it was an AI-generated video, YT did not label it as such, and did not give me the option to remove it from my feed. So I wondered how much of that video was bullshit.

Amadeus Esso @pencilsplz.bsky.social · 22d

Learning about #Jung, #empathy and AI... I was going through YT when I began watching this video talking about empaths and how that through life experiences they learn to be less empathetic and more selective in their social interactions.

Oh and fat-shaming them at the same time. Not cool.

I quit art years ago. Too much AI, too much push for ID of consenting adults/censorship. Too much flat-out disrespect for artists. Okay, I'm sick of being right. Predicting the enshittification of #futa #furry #adult art, I don't care how on the nose I was. HOW DO WE FUCKING FIX IT?

I know the original poem but also, it is a very good parallel of how regressive politics and censorship is. However crass, it's accurate. Need I remind people, especially the younger gens who were denied education about the horrors of WWI&II, censorship is another red flag of a swirly-icon variety

Kenno Arkkan @kenno-arkkan.bsky.social · Sep 20

I just couldn't sleep with this stupid and overly grotesque deviation of the original poem in my brain lol but its literally whats been going on on bsky all year

Amadeus Esso @pencilsplz.bsky.social · Sep 21

I tire of people/Dems being polite and trying to take the high road when fighting this shit. They fight fucking dirty. enough of this moral posturing. You don't win a war by claiming you're better than the other guy. You win a war by actually fucking fighting.
