"Our reality is being destroyed all around us"
this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Kirjoitanpa tännekin pari sanaa, turhauttaa tää silmäkuvakohu etenkin siksi, että siitä on ihan aitoa mainehaittaa Suomelle – ja kuten mediassa mainittu – tuntuu, että sen laajuutta ei ymmärretä etenkään valtionjohdossa. Tänäänkin Japanin suurimman päivälehden luetuimpien joukossa 2 juttua tästä 1/

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

A trillion-dollar company going super-cheap on producing a mechanical-sounding dub with no human touch, aura, or spark involved.

It's insulting, anti-consumer, anti-creative, shameful, and just damn embarrassing.

Also... I can't trust anything that pronounces "finger" as "fin-jer."

2:12 in, BTW.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

I really hate to have to do this but i just had a deer jump in front of my work van (and everday car) on the highway and total the bumper/fender and I need to open some emergency commissions to help cover the cost of repair and help me stay afloat while it's in the shop.

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like.

I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

#tracon2025 oli jo 2 viikkoa sitten, mutta haikailen edelleen hiukan sen kirppiksen Ken Kaneki -cossin perään... Pakkaus oli teipattu ja kokomerkintää ei ollut missään, joten jouduin jättämään sen sinne 😔

Todennäköisesti olisi ollut pieni, mutta epätietoisuus kalvaa silti ;w;

Oatly AB on ruotsalainen elintarvikeyritys, jolta ilmestyi juuri uusi tuote Israelin markkinoille, ja onpa omistaja Blackstone rahaakin lapannut miljoonien edestä Tel Avivin yliopistoon. Älkää siis ostako Oatlya, suosikaa kotimaista, esim. Oddlygood Baristaa 🇫🇮

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car.

To all the artists creating in these times: thank you. It’s not easy to make beauty, truth, or meaning when the world feels chaotic. Whether it helps you breathe or comforts others, your work matters.

Art doesn’t need to fix the world to be meaningful, sometimes it just needs to exist.
