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.

Also because my girlfriend is a smart ass, she quickly made this and I MUST share:

Oh I rolled out this one. That's when they said "Oh, I'm aware of the hypocrisy, but."

Dare Arkin 🔞 @darearkin.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Oh, right, then I gotta. DON'T USE THAT.

(Also what arrows? It looks fine to me. Don't mind the Andrew Tate title, I'm listening to a report about his extradition. I swear I'm not a creep.)

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.

— If This Goes On— (1953) Robert Heinlein

Just like when they put them up! Oh wait, no, they just used cherry pickers. Huh. I wonder why they'd care so much more about safety the second time. It's almost as if there's a much more reasonable answer in character with the people issuing these orders.

Oh yes. It was a big hit. The general theme of replies was:

Huh. This comment has been flagged "intolerance." You really CAN'T say anything negative about Isrsel on social media, Cause damn, I've seen far worse about the US in so many comments...

I can't figure out alt text to save my ass, so the alt text version will be in comments.

AI slop image generators are owned by the people who helped put Trump in office. Every time you use it, you are helping him and his cronies.

Dare Arkin 🔞 @darearkin.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Did you know that AI slop benefits the people who helped put Trump in power? Did you know that you're doing what they want when you use it? Stop using AI. Even if you don't pay for it, you're still normalizing it.

Dare Arkin 🔞 @darearkin.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

And not using AI slop, which is proudly helping the very lifestyle you are claiming to enjoy so much.

Using AI puts money in the pockets of the people who helped push Trump into office. You are helping the enemy by doing this. STOP. USING. AI. ART.

Dare Arkin 🔞 @darearkin.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Fun fact. Using AI puts money in the pockets of the assholes who helped put Trump in power, and are profiting from him. STOP. USING. AI. You're not being subversive, you're not being helpful, you're being *used.*

AI puts money in the pockets of people who put him in power. Stick figures would be better than this. For shame.
