NYT did this to me too. A piece I wrote went super viral and days later the Times pub’d the same story. I put up such a stink and got my followers so riled up the Times was forced to link my story in their article. They do this CONSTANTLY. They believe it’s not a real story until they publish it.

I have one reaction after watching GTA 6's spectacular, 26-minute Netflix reveal: this is what a billion dollars gets you
GTA 6 is a world of surfaces and textures, and while you can see this obviously in the big things, you can actually see it most clearly in the little things.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

my biggest artfight attack by a wide margin. "how hard could jugendstil really be to draw" < thoughts of a deranged person
Digital drawing of a Black woman in an art nouveau style inspired by the art of Mucha. She's wearing her locks pulled back in buns and looking up somewhat wistfully. The background consists of flowy golden-yellow ribbons, thistles, beetles, butterflies, and a ladybug at the top. She's wearing a light green top with ribbons for sleeves over a large flowing white skirt.

Happy Labor Day! Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work... Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?
Stanhill, Lancashire, 1764. Wear and carpenter James Hargreaves invents the Spinning Jenny, the first practical spinning-frame, to make the tedious task of producing cloth a little bit faster. He doesn't know it yet, but this will destroy the world.

Spurred by inventions like his, the industrial revolution will transform everything -- work power, the wealth of nations. Society as we know it began here, and it wasn't great for everyone. But a group of weavers and textile workers saw this future coming. And did their best to prevent it."Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" The standard narrative does that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed.

Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight. 

And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.
Factory work paid little, since "the machines" did "the real work" human labourers were deemed unimportant and replaceable. FUN FACT!: Factory owners preferred to hire ORPHANS since less people would notice if they were maimed or killed on the job!


Now the owners quickly realized the workers might notice they did all the work for almost no pay. If they went on STRIKE or ARGUED FOR HGHER WAGES, this would threaten their tremendous wealth. In 1799, Parliament passed the Combination Act, which made FORMING TRADE UNIONS, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND GOING ON STRIKE ILLEGAL. Organizing against the rich became a crime.If you were living through it, opposing the industrial revolution wasn't techno-phobia. It was SELF-DEFENSE. The combination act forced unions underground into secret societies. And the greatest secret of all was their leader - Ned Ludd. Ned had been a folk character for years. In one version after being whipped by his master, he smashed two knitting frames in a rage. In more fanciful versions, he then escaped to the Sherwood forest, here he lived among the animals as their king. Some versions specifically call him 'Much Better Than Robin Hood'.

is this a Caul Serrikane design, or just an excuse to play fast-and-loose with historical fashion? ...yes #owhe #OurWarsHaveEnded
A full-body drawing of Caul Serrikane, a Black woman wearing vaguely Regency-era clothing. Her facial expression is annoyed, and she's got noticable bags under her eyes. Her outfit mixes traditional men- and womenswear: her shirt has a high collar, a cravat-like scarf, and long poofy sleeves, over which she's wearing a blue cavalry coat, but she's also wearing a long dark blue skirt over a petticoat. She's wearing a special, somewhat corset-shaped harness over her bodice, to which a wooden cage for the dimbox is connected by chains. Her hair in twists and falls to her shoulders, partially covered by a purple silk scarf. Lastly, she's wearing beige gloves, and boots peak out from under her skirt. The entire outfit is annotated.

According to Insider Gaming, the Barcelona studio’s launch celebration event for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced was downgraded to a smaller catered “get-together at the studio.” The game itself, meanwhile, is already the best reviewed one in the series in over a decade, and seems poised to be a big seller for Ubisoft in an otherwise anemic year for new releases from the French publisher.

putting that victorian-era fashion research to good use #sanderssides
A cropped drawing of Logan wearing a Victorian era suit, showing only his top half. He's looking grumpily at the time on his pocket watch. The next image in this post shows his full body, and that description will go into more detail on his exact outfit.A drawing of Logan, dressed in Victorian menswear: he's wearing a dark, navy blue tail coat over a lighter blue waistcoat, both cut straight across a high waisted silhouette. Underneath is a white high collared shirt with a blue bowtie. The pants are very light grey cossack trousers, tied underneath his shiny black shoes.
His glasses are pince nez style with a chain running to inside his coat, and his gloves are a dusty light blue.
He's looking grumpily at his brass pocket watch, one hand leaning on his side. "— You are late," the image reads on the bottom, written in an old-fashioned printed font.

this fucking sucks ( from the creator of the cupcake character, lorynbrantz instagram - www.instagram.com/p/DY2v_qXIoQt )
Lorynbrantz on instagram shares a post about their cupcake character being stolen for these new amazon ai shows. Reads as follows

I am horrified and disgusted by BuzzFeed taking my character, The Good Advice Cupcake, and giving it to an Al platform. My time at BuzzFeed was marked by continually being taken advantage of and lied to. They repeatedly assured me in good faith that they would never do anything with Cuppy without my input, yet offered me no legal options, insisting that I would never need them. The news that this character, who is based on my own personality and whom I created as a microphone to spread love and positivity, has been taken and turned into a soulless Al puppet feels like having my intestines pulled out of my body.

Somebody leaked the news to me early on that there were talks happening, and I pleaded with the CEO Jonah Peretti directly not to do it. Instead, he tried to talk me into signing an NDA. Obviously, I did not.

This is an assault on artists everywhere.

I encourage you to boycott BuzzFeed and any Al-produced or adjacent animation.
