I’m a phony for the things I don’t engage in and performative for the things I do. It’s almost like everyone just wants to fight and argue all of the time.

Oh I've seen this movie before...

The Loc-Nar, an evil green orb that's somehow sentient from the movie Heavy Metal. Watch it. It's what animation could have been, but was taken from us.

Welp. Just reported a violation of safety by my bosses to corporate. There will be retaliation for this.

And now, on the day everyone has off for labor day, that I normally have off as part of my annoyingly scheduled weekend, I get to work. Because I work retail. So instead of a three day weekend this week, I get a ONE day weekend for labor day, so my employer can sell cheap junk to people. Yay.

The Minions of Avian Intelligence Bonus speedpaint: www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFanta... #webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

Panel 1. Cepper, the gothic witch, is stunned to see a small army of Avian Intelligence (AI) parrots walking down the red carpet toward the university's reception room. Behind her, her own AI parrot flies overhead.
> Cepper: "What are these?"
> Parrot: "These are my minions."

Panel 2. The minions scatter throughout the celebration, attempting to join various group discussions.
> Parrot: "They're deployed in all discussions to make people love Avian Intelligence."

Panel 3. A similar shot to the previous panel, but now people are growing angry at the minion parrots who interrupted their discussions. Cepper and her AI parrot simply observe the scene.
> AI Parrot minion (1): "AI is just a tool!"
> AI Parrot minion (2): "AI learns like humans do!"
> AI Parrot minion (3): "AI is good!"
> Cepper: "...Is it working?"

Panel 4. In a similar shot, the crowd is now furious, screaming at the minions. The Parrot remains optimistic while Cepper is facepalming.
> Parrot: "No, people still hate AI. I guess I'll just deploy more minions."

Hey, guys- just throwing this out into Bluesky in general. If you wanna leave a mic-drop comment when you block me, you kinda need to... not block me. Or else I lose the ability to see your clearly brilliantly crafted diss. This is what the mute button is for. Elsewise I can't see jack. XD

and then, like the first bold soul who noticed you could sing the Gilligan's Island theme tune to Amazing Grace, I realized that "little dreidel" and "my Sharona" have the same syllabic count and the amount of dumb things to sing expanded hugely I had a Deinonychus, I made it out of clay

Yanno I'm seeing a REALLY large uptick in "We can't vote our way out of this!" posts. The paranoid in me wonders if it's being pushed to discourage voting, and possibly start some useful violence. Cause if I were genuinely afraid of being voted out- that's the kind of message I'd want spread.

It's funny how the "He really seems to understand the source material and take it in his own, profound direction" seems to be so similar to "Make it "gritty" and "masculine" and "realistic" (i.e no fun allowed)" a lot of the time, huh

Found a forum where people either freely distribute content other artists are trying to sell, or create knock-offs of that work to try and profit from. .... then sympathise with each other over how hard it is for artists to make money. I can only say, yeah. Yeah, it f**king is.

Man. I love how this site has a system for muting tags you don't want to see. And how specific fetish artists will explicitly NOT tag their stuff, so it keeps popping up in my feed. That "Show me less of this" thing does nothing, I've just resorted to blocking 'em.

I'm a little sad that when rejecting games just made entirely out of AI slop on my Steam curator page, the only option to say 'no' is labelled 'Politely decline'. I don't wanna be polite. I want to say 'Knock that shit off and send me a real game made by real humans'.

Was listening to some audiobook stuff I have and stumbled across this quote. Had to dig it up and show it. Cause... boy does this still ring true. Seventy years later, and he was cooking with this one.

I began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy...censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything—you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.

Come one, come all, watch a bunch of workers do anything EXCEPT remove the name from the Kennedy Center. Seriously, I've watched them put up scaffolding, go up the scaffolding, move carabiners around on the scaffolding, then go back down the scaffolding, then go back up the scaffolding...

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

In a Public Notice released on April 22, 2026, the FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to "transgender and gender non-binary programming" and "the discussion or promotion of gender identity themes."

According to the War Powers Resolution of 1973 (War Powers Act), Trump has ONE day left to secure a Declaration of War from Congress, and another 30 days to bring our troops home if not. $10 says Congress doesn't do 💩 and $20 says no one, definitely not SCOTUS, makes Trump follow the law. #feckless
