Second thought. This cartoon raises an interesting question:

Are you a Marilee or a Steffy fan? I have thoughts for another time.

And I will go to my grave swearing that #Sega completely ripped off @ladymisskeir.bsky.social 's look and image to make Ulala in @spacechannel5-sega.bsky.social

Thirty years after Dewdrops in the Garden, I'd love to hear them make new music. Right now, we need the vibes and love.

This June, when I saw my first character come to life, I broke down crying at my desk.

Nope, Veo3 isn't perfect. But if you knew me--Autistic, ADHD, queer (and out since 1991)--you would realize that it pretty much reflects me: absolutely imperfect, but still there. Still pushing.

If you want to legitimacy-challenge me as a leftist, you may want to check yourself.

When I started this project in 1987, my sole dream was to see it animated. In 1995, I even tried art school to become an animator. I got the first issue published and distributed in 1997. (con't)

What pulled me in fandom was how much it jived with my punk adolescence: "Don't like (music/zine/whatever)? Make your own."

Organized fandoms hated us because we didn't have "canon." We made our own.

If you want spaces that reflect your values: make them.

The only constant in life is change--especially when it's driven by technology.

I use AI, but I still draw. Procreate, my iPad. The attacks from shitty people today demonstrate why I don't put it out anymore. "Oh god, my eyes! His art sucks!"

I'm used to slings & arrows. Comes with being autistic.

Nope, not "AI Bro."

AI user, absolutely.

It's a tool, like anything else.

When synthesizers broke in, musicians bemoaned "death of music!" But it's still there.

When sampled products like Garage Band broke in, more bemoaning. "No one will play instruments anymore!" People still play.

Of course, now I’m wondering how many gigs, or even terabytes of pirate media are sitting on your storage drive? Music? Movies? TV shows?

Of course, you’ll find a way to justify that I’m sure.

Look at you, dodging all over the place.

Theft is theft. You can't condemn someone for "stealing" when you yourself have done it. I'm sure you're familiar with "tu qouque."

Yes, I quite know what plagiarism is.

Please cite the plagiarized source material.

LOL I'm plagiarizing now, hm?

Source, please.

Yes, one can't copy-paste proof that doesn't exist. Yo ho, Jolly Roger.

As for "environmentally destructive data centers," I hope none of your technologies are cloud based. Got some baaaaaaaaaad news for you if so.
