I’m opening discounted art commissions on Ko-fi to help cover my cat’s medical expenses. It seems she has a teeth/gum infection. I don't know how much the treatment will end up costing but the price of a dental consultation already exceeds my budget+

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.
Eurovision has allowed Israel to compete in 2026.
Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, and the Netherlands have pulled out of the competition following the decision.

While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

Pokémon Scarlet/Violet NPC: Pokémon training is my dream, and no one is going to stop me!
Pokémon Legends: Z-A NPC: Does the wind whisper death to you, too? Do you sense the countless souls around you, begging to be released? Are we alive, or is hell here on earth?

信頼度の高い企業が、生成AIの出力される仕組みをしっかり説明せずに騙すように普及させていることも大問題だと思う
たまに親御さんに画像データが収集されそれが二次利用される事を説明するけど、そんなの知らなかったが大半
私もMSやNTT、果てはデザイン書を出版する企業にテレビ局やメディアまでもが不誠実にユーザーを騙そうとするとは思いもしなかった
(出版社に至っては権利問題の書籍出してたよな…？)
少し前はネットリテラシー高めようという動きがあった筈なんだが…どこー？

Whenever I see people talk about why the Pokémon franchise is or isn't evolving, I'm reminded of an interview I did with a former Nintendo of America employee. We were discussing the move to promote Gen 2, Gold/Silver, and all the merchandise that would be involved in that.
It was revealing.

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.
