My dudes you CANNOT apply pro-piracy arguments that apply to massive corporations to tiny indie authors. It’s the difference between shoplifting from a Walmart vs. shoplifting from a small family business. It’s so EASY to read books for free without screwing authors. Quite literally a skill issue.
These are pretty naked -- and therefore instructive -- examples of the sorts of defenses that people offer to try and get off the hook

Praying it's the same team behind the Snow White n Cinderella because they were solid jobs, and I'm still seeing spots after Alice's highlighter neon yellow hair burned my corneas from the last restoration.
Alice in Wonderland is getting a 4K remaster. The classic film from Walt Disney Animation Studios will reveal a new restoration at the 2026 TCM Classic Film Festival. I hope we get to see it soon on Blu-ray because the remasters of Cinderella and Snow White were so good.

Morning thoughts about "AI".
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
![Thoughts about “AI”
Yes it’s:
The slop
The theft
The brainrot
The loss of work
The crumbling of creator rights
The destroying of the environment and infrastructure
But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you.
Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical.
Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school.
It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

We have created a device that shall be integral to your life, to the point where it will be hard to function in society without one; we would prefer these devices to break annually and for you to purchase a new one at full price. If you don't, that's called hoarding. They're a thousand dollars each.
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

Yes. The writing is not the problem these days. It’s the fear of buying/development the studios/nets seem to have, it’s the lack of opportunities; the town feels like it’s been shut down since LAST October. And we only had about 2 good weeks before then.
It's good practice, absolutely. And it's good to have an arsenal of samples when the time eventually comes (if it ever comes!) But to continue to insist that if we just write something GOOD ENOUGH someone will SEE US is at a certain point, absolutely ignoring the industry's current failures.

the proliferation of music streaming services essentially crippled any reason for later game devices to have legitimate MP3 functionality. we had a feast and traded it for famine, willingly, because of convenience and we don't understand what we lost in the process

I like my men the way i like my coffee: unionized
BREAKING: Striking Starbucks baristas and their allies are demonstrating in Newport Beach today.
Why?
Because the company has racked up more federal labor law violations than any other corporation IN U.S. HISTORY!
Stand with these workers as they protest unfair labor practices!

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.
