Show me what you you can do with just a pen!

I actually LOVE doing B&W ink art but it doesn't perform well so I can't spare time for it very often 🥲 #art #inks

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!”

And

I hate to say it

But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas

Quit.

Buried lede is that Sandfall deliberately lied to the organizers that their game didn’t use any AI, and then when a producer admitted that AI was used AFTER it was approved to be nominated it was disqualified from nomination

Shit got more expensive and stayed more expensive so “being employed” doesn’t help you as much
I think this strengthens the case for Stancilism.

Immediate post pandemic economy was *weird* in a way that made it hard to compare it to similar years.

But we've got low unemployment and low inflation now. Very hard to make the case that now is worse than the Volcker shock.
UMich consumer sentiment (current conditions) at 50.4 is a new all-time low -- going back to data from the 1970s.

Creative solidarity means:

If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover"
If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references"
If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc.

Never help AI steal another medium

No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

To be honest, I'm at the point now where I'll continue to make art out of spite because I refuse to let some computer take my passion. I'll prob get drowned out in a sea of slop, but at least I don't lose my lifes purpose.
I've drawn since I was first able to so nothing's gonna stop me.

Monthly reminder to stop giving attention or money to the lady who made the racist wizard books because she actively finances the genocide of trans people.

I know my followers are better than that, but if you've got a friend pulling that shit, dump them in the garbage.

A corporation’s bottom line is their ONLY concern. With today’s news, we now all know Disney supports ai. If you support Disney, you support generative ai.

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Men aren't more lonely than women but the loneliness epidemic is real. Millions are in isolation, it's capitalist individualism, & disability is isolating. Lots of folks are really alone. But it's not gendered, that framing is patriarchy, babying men like their unhappiness is everyone else's burden.
According to Pew Research and a few other stats, the loneliness epidemic isn’t disproportionately affecting men over other genders.

I have a feeling that men have been the squeaky wheel over the last few years.

If anything, we have a loneliness epidemic because more people are (barely) surviving.
