For #toughtober Day 9 (Debris) I updated my asteroid generator #geometrynodes setup so now it can scatter boulders on the surface for that rubble pile look. #space #art #blender #scifi #asteroid

For a fictional starship with a worked example of a Q-drive, be sure to have a look at @triplchii.bsky.social's "Thousand Blossoming Flowers"!

To quote @cwebbonline.com:
📌 Historic fascists with plenary authority:
• Hitler
• Mussolini
• Stalin

Plenary authority or plenary powers: Absolute and without limitations.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

My only question about that is why isn’t everyone?
We proved with Jimmy Kimmel that money talks. Why aren’t we shutting the whole damn thing down?

And no. You do NOT need to RSVP for a No Kings protest.

Hell, we’d prefer if you didn’t register - or at least make a burner account if you want to help give organizers a crowd size estimate (for like, food and water).

If anyone is telling you have to register, they’re wrong. You do NOT have to.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

For #toughtober Day 6 I went with a #40k theme, sketching out how an Imperial voidship might look with radial symmetry (and radiators, of course). Plus this ##cifi #space #art is 100% non destructive #blender #geometrynodes 😊
Original artwork not permitted for use as AI training data or input. A version of a voidship from Warhammer 40,000 with hexagonal symmetry as well as more realistic weapon turrets and a vertical launch system (VLS) array to fire missiles.

Yes, we’re falling behind, in protecting creative industries and upholding IP law 🤷🏻‍♀️
= CHINADAILYd.9秘M COM.CN Home / China Society Beijing court hands AI copyright violators up to 18 months in prison 中文 By CAO YIN | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2025-06-19 18:02 Four individuals who used artificial intelligence to infringe on the copyrights of online artworks have been sentenced to up to 18 months in prison, along with fines, according to a recent ruling by the Beijing Tongzhou District People's Court. The four defendants were accused of using Al software to alter original illustrations found online, creating more than 3,000 jigsaw puzzles for sale and making illegal profits exceeding 270,000 yuan ($37,556), prosecutors said. The court found them guilty under a criminal indictment from district prosecutors, marking what is reportedly the first criminal ruling in Beijing involving copyright infringement through generative Al.

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.
Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

Really sad today. I'm struggling to understand how people can avoid depression at all when there's so much horribleness in the world.

This shutdown happened by design.
title : This government shutdown didn't happen by accident. it happened by design. 4 frame comic. we see Russell Vought, Curtis Yarvin, Russell Vought again, and the White House. Text reads : russell vought is the director of the u.s. office of management and budget and the key architect of project 2025. the nyt called him "the man behind trump's push for an all-powerful presidency." project 2025 includes a roadmap to achieve curtis yarvin's butter- fly revolution, in which the neo-reactionary leader advocates for replacing non-partisan gov't employees with loyalists, seizing control of public assets and centralizing power in a small group of elites. what vought aimed to do was create the conditions in which he could strip bare what he calls the "unelected fourth branch of government". back in february, he instructed agencies to prepare for mass layoffs on sept. 30th. this shutdown will give Trump the power to bypass Congressional oversight: Trump can just declare which areas are considered essential services, and ignore the 1974 law that prevents presidents from withholding federal dollars. this shutdown was the goal all along.

A useful glossary for 2025.
4 frame comics. in the first frame theres a MAGA hat. text reads : fascism is a "cult of the leader who promises national resto- ration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed commu- nists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation." (j. stanley, 2018) 2nd frame we see Trump's silhouette. text reads : authoritarianism is a political system that revolves around a central figure, a party or the military. it rejects political pluralism and the rule of law. in 3rd frame we see the Texas proposed congressional districts. text reads : An illiberal democracy is a governing system that "hides its nondemocratic practices behind formally democratic institutions and procedures" (bonet & zamorano, 2021) while suppressing opposing views. 4th frame we see Curtis Yarvin. text reads : the neo-reactionary movement, or dark enlightenment, is an anti-egalitarian ideology advoca- ting for a return to monarchy and a dismantlement of the state. yarvin, its founder, is backed by peter thiel and an influential friend of jd vance, as well as the thinker behind elon musk's d.o.g.e..
