My orphan-crushing device is legal because the actual orphan crushing is operated by one of those little dipping birds thing rather than me pressing the orphan-crushing button

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

I don’t think that comics are for kids, or not for kids. What I think is that people in America have a difficult time with being normal about anything. Nobody needed to spend upwards of thirty years prefacing every discussion of comics with “these aren’t the caped crusaders of your youth!”

This guy says in the replies that this was 7-10 years ago but it makes you wonder how many companies are still doing it like this with 100% human labor. We already know every AI company is doing this with some degree of human intervention, they just call it “training the model.”

CEO: we’ve invented an orphan crushing machine, it makes $1mil for every orphan it crushes!
SHAREHOLDERS: yaaaaay!
CEO: uh oh looks like it makes slightly less money each time
SHAREHOLDERS: we will obviously need to crush more orphans to compensate

Deplatforming is out of favor in Silicon Valley. But it works.
A new study in Nature finds that Twitter's mass suspension of 70,000 QAnon-linked accounts after Jan. 6 meaningfully reduced the overall circulation of fake and hyperpartisan news on the platform. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

After Jan. 6, Twitter banned 70,000 right-wing accounts. Lies plummeted.
A new study finds deplatforming “super-spreaders” of misinformation can limit the overall spread of online whoppers.

Leash your dog. Yes, you. Yes, your sweet dog. Leash your dog. Not only because of the harm it could do, but because you have no right to put other people through the stress of not knowing what it will do. EVEN IF you can predict your dog (you can’t), other people shouldn’t have to rely on it.
a friend of mine just lost her pup to an unleashed dog that attacked it, so this my reminder to you to leash your fucking dog when you’re in public

tell me you don't understand art by announcing you will only be making sludge for children you no longer respect. You can say you want it more collaborative, you can say you want it more 'relatable', but it's for ultimate control of ideas. Fuck their trademarks and copyrights, they are sweating.
Just fold the studio into Disney and kill it already. Make Toy Story sequels till the sun fucking burns out. Love how this shift conveniently happened when more woman/POC were really pushing to direct their own stories. Defining their experiences as not "universal" is saying the quiet part aloud.
