Even if you, for some reason, removed the cruel aspects of the R word and stripped it down to its basics, it’s so brutally embarrassing to use. Its just in-group vice signalling for the freaks trying to drown human empathy in the bathtub.

I think this is getting a lot of hate, but we need to remember that : -AI ONLY used the same amount of water this year than the whole water bottle industry. -For this to be shitty, all it had to do was use an existing, really well made scene by artists and steal it.

The goal is to use nationalism as a wedge to destroy liberal democracy, a fascist strategy from the 20th century.

If you look at the X responses to our Prime Minister expressing sympathy over the Bondi attack, you see national and ethnic identity weaponized. Blue checks stirring up hate for Muslim people, and to end the right to protest. Cruel theatre for cowards.

Funny how we constantly hear how far right extremism is an inevitable response to wokeness and thus is the fault of the left, but never that wokeness is a response to anything. It’s just a thing that appeared and forced everyone to become bigots against their will.

How I design a creature. I often find 3D models, even VERY basic ones, are useful in guiding a painting if there are complex elements at play (wiggly fins, too many legs etc).

Authoritarians want to weave the Bondi massacre narrative into a bludgeon against peaceful protest in Australia. This is to ensure that arms sales and political support continues to flow to Netanyahu's regime. Are you willing to sacrifice your right to be heard for that?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but when you're done eradicating trans people and immigrants, you will still be broke, your life will still suck, and you'll still be a horrible human being.

Unfortunately, we’ve known about this for a while, and it’s already happened to several other Dreamworks shows as their licenses with Netflix expire. Years of hard work by many talented crews have ended up without a home. We showrunners have no control over this.
‘She-Ra and the Princesses of Power’ is scheduled to leave Netflix on February 21, 2026. (Source: https://t.co/ZM7XQBCpdJ)

I have seen comments that other corpos will eventually fill the gaps left by nVidia and the RAM makers who are departing the consumer market. But wont ALL of these companies just also sell to AI hyperscalers?

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

My problem with social media: It is demonstrably bad for one's mind. It is doom-scrolling; even artists I follow (including myself) are mostly talking about global horrors. The issue; almost all the monstrous things being posted are real. So what on Earth does one do?
