Man, that's devastating. All of you have my sympathies.

Jamie Coville @jamiecoville.com · 2d

Wow.

*sigh* trying to find some ASMR to help me sleep but most of them are boring history or space lectures.

Problem is I don't find history or space boring.

Bizarro world over there.

I'm not sure if they care if anybody believes it, they just feel a need to provide an excuse to do what they want to do.

Maybe eventually they'll just come out and say we're doing this because we are fascists who get off on being cruel to people, but we're not there yet.

I can finally post videos so...

Hi, I'm Cressa and I do stop motion. You may have seen my preshows at your local movie theatre.

Here's a cute thing I made for the release of Godzilla Minus One:

Sadly a whole lot of religious authority figures are already scammers. They might be the ones behind this app as a new way to scam people.

These days it's possible that Tyler Cowen is also AI.

Jamie Coville @jamiecoville.com · 6d

I wouldn't be surprised if Tyler Cowan was AI too.

Can verify the "The Simpsons are ruining the youths" discourse. I lived through it too. A friend of my older brother was ranting about how awful the Simpsons were, based on nothing but media stories. When he revealed he never saw an episode I told him he didn't know what we was talking about.

It sorta feels like Putin is making the same mistake in America that the US did in Cuba. Thought all they needed was Batista and rigged elections. Then Castro happened. US made sure all future puppet leaders were Military dictatorships.

Sadly, Trump would fire them. Likely give them a dishonourable discharge. Then replace them with somebody that will do what he says. The only way they could keep their job and salaries is to do a successful coop.

Jamie Coville @jamiecoville.com · 7d

Likely just a cover to fire those they don't like for not being white and Trump supporters.

If you see this, QRT with a gif of your first anime.

It might have been Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets/G-Force, but more likely it was..

Who's your favorite Jedi? (Wrong answers only)

Jamie Coville @jamiecoville.com · 9d

Yeah, I was about to say, I've stayed in much worse hotels than the one you are showing.

Jamie Coville @jamiecoville.com · 9d

Great job @brigidalverson.bsky.social!

As the old saying goes, some people think the system is broken and needs to be fixed. Others think the system is working exactly as intended and needs to be dismantled and replaced with something better.

But his donor's are racist and want that stuff to continue. They are probably giving him his marching orders while wearing MAGA hats.

Comic Censorship in Canada. Great job to @librarylandia.bsky.social for helping out with this story on the CBC: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Alberta has banned graphic books before. In the 1950s, 'salacious' comics were the target | CBC News

In 1954, the province established the Advisory Board on Objectionable Publications to investigate "crime comics" that supposedly inspired undesirable behaviour in kids.

Bret does have legit reason to hate him though.

I switched to Feedly, it has it quirks, but it works.

Ideally they would just staff the airports (and/or cut down on the unnecessary security theatre) so that all the lines are "good" and not take an hour+ to get through.
