Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

There was something artistically satisfying hearing a track from The Caretaker in the Backrooms movie, even if it was anachronistic. 8/10, would smile again, internally did the "Leo DiCaprio pointing at the TV" meme

i know a lot of people really, really want gaza to be a two-sides issue that maps cleanly onto US electoral politics, but it isn't. the mainstream of both parties supports the genocide, because the US as an institution supports the genocide. i know that's uncomfortable but you can't run away from it

My SSD broke, I,am currently trying to extract as much stuff as possible. Meanwhile, felt like doing some comfort spriting on my beloved old pc from 2012. God bless #pixelart (and @aseprite.org) as a low-fi, working class friendly medium! Classic Sugimori artwork sprites, 5 colors, 56x56px

Bulbasaur sprite, in pixel art. The specifics are: 56x56 pixels, 5 colors + transparency. The sprite follows the well known Sugimori artwork, with the pokemon slightly seen from above as he walks towards the viewer. The sprite palette and shading follow Sugimori's technique, with stark contrasts and a watercolor-like, soft kind of coloring.

Charmander sprite, in pixel art. The specifics are: 56x56 pixels, 5 colors + transparency. The sprite follows the well known Sugimori artwork, with the pokemon shaking his tail with the characteristic flame on top. The fire lizard pokemon is kind of smiling! The sprite palette and shading follow Sugimori's technique, with stark contrasts and a watercolor-like, soft kind of coloring.

Squirtle sprite, in pixel art. The specifics are: 56x56 pixels, 5 colors + transparency. The sprite follows the well known Sugimori artwork, with the pokemon sitting on the ground, holding his tail with its hand. The sprite palette and shading follow Sugimori's technique, with stark contrasts and a watercolor-like, soft kind of coloring.

Pikachu sprite, in pixel art. The specifics are: 56x56 pixels, 5 colors + transparency. The sprite follows the well known Sugimori artwork, with the pokemon charging up its electrical power. Its cheeks are emitting sparkles. The sprite palette and shading follow Sugimori's technique, with stark contrasts and a watercolor-like, soft kind of coloring.

Wingnarl, a Most Curse'd Daemon of Helle

An odd demonic creature with a lanky torso, legs, and single arm. Its bulbous head protrudes from the side of the torso where two wings are splayed vertically on the top and bottom of its cheek. Two mouths are layered as well-- one locked in a short frown in between two large, yellow eyes, and the other wearing a fleshy, tight-lipped smile on the middle of the head-like protrusion. One eye is perched where the upper wing is unfolding and the other is nested in the crux of a bizarre crested growth sprouting from the top of the head. Altogether, the demon is anything but threatening and maintains an expression which suggests an uncomplicated, unimpressive mind barely stirring within.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Sorry I went a whole month without posting my own art; have a Dark Crystal skeksis. What is he saying? "Have a piss-tacular day."

A generic and non-canonical "Skeksis" character from the film series The Dark Crystal. That is, a devious-looking vulture-like creature dressed in absurdly bulky layers of lavish baroque silks, velvets, robes, and a round hump structure on his back like a great turtle shell. An empty speech balloon hovers over him.

This is a good time to reiterate that hate-watching and dunking never ever seriously harms the reach of the creator of the thing you are engaging with/hating. Especially in today's media environment, there may actually be no such thing as bad publicity. Attention itself is usually the end goal.

You don't have to be mean to [people who think pirating media is the secret best way to not support the creators of that media] to make your point that generating buzz about a particular piece of media still helps the creators. By all means recommend better media though.

Not exactly a #DailyAffirmation, but was surprising to hear @fdsignifier.bsky.social say it in an older video about Amber Heard when it felt relevant to me. Have a good one, y’all.

“I’ve been chronically online for 3 years now, as a part of this as a career. And I’ve had more than a few hate campaigns towards me, and one thing I’ve learned from this is that people can effectively just make up shit or at best take something with the tiniest sliver of truth and just repeat it telephone style in comment sections and reddit boards until it becomes basically factual lore and blown out of proportion. Because when you make shit up online, you don’t have to look people in the eye to do it. And when people don’t like you, or looking for a reason not to like you, the burden of truth and factuality on whatever bad thing they hear about you is very, very low.”

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.
