Whenever I see a post like this there’s always people being like “hey this isn’t a bad idea I should do this…” as if you wouldn’t be contributing to the murder and abuse of your fellow trans community members during that time. But hey, individualism is king these days as long as you get yours.
Buzzfeed was trying to force Kyra and her team to use AI for a Chikn Nuggit project. She left in protest because she's an actual hero. The fallout for Buzzfeed has been...real bad, so naturally, they're suddenly open to discussion. Keep being loud about how Ai is NOT acceptable.
"I don't ship them but this is cute" comments on ship art are *not* a compliment actually.
I don't care if u dont ship them. I ship them. That's why I drew ship art of them. Shut up. No one asked you.
BuzzFeed is currently deleting Kyra Kupetsky's tweets about the situation.

PSA for Discord's new age verification!
If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it.
Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+
It's really that simple. Give them nothing.
hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context
I'm not sure how much this spreading would even help but I think it's important to stay educated about these things... I'm genuinely scared about my own safety and I'm not even sure how they will go about imposing this law. here's a more detailed look at what they're trying to do
hi i did a little bit of voice acting work for this update :]
this was my first time doing VA stuff so thank you to the pendog folks for bringing me onto this cool project!
It's really humiliating to have to do this, but unfortunately since being laid off in December I'm no longer able to stay ahead of my debts. And after some real expensive cardiologist visits, I'm in serious need of help.
Literally anything helps. Thank you.

List of apps/services/etc. that you should consider swapping to! Will forget things/have bias
FOSS = free and open source software
I'll start with Discord, but I don't think anything looks solid enough yet? Worth waiting a bit to see what looks best to move to
The Pendog website is now locked for maintenance as the Winter Spirit approaches. See you all on the 19th of February…
It cannot be overstated, fuck Adobe
They should open source this instead of ending it
email from adobe, Dear Keith, We’re contacting you to let you know that Adobe will be discontinuing Adobe Animate on March 1, 2026.

If democrats can't grow a spine and do something right now I really don't know what is going to happen. Are they waiting for a certain number of peaceful citizens to be murdered before doing something? I know they're "scared of appearing anti-cop" or whatever but are they scared of civil war at all?
If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent.
And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

According to its new privacy policy, TikTok now collects more data on its users, including their precise location, after majority ownership officially switched to a group based in the US. www.wired.com/story/tiktok...
For real also like you literally owe no one explanation of trauma you’ve experienced. Trauma has a ton of nuance and making it cut and dry categories isn’t it. If you gatekeep people from drawing trauma (as a personal outlet or not) congrats that’s super fucking weird!!
seeing the take that vaggi should have/should die for charlie’s character growth is fucking wild to me
as if vaggi’s whole journey and healing isn’t discovering her life has value outside of her relationship
Worries about vaccination rates in dogs As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.
May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.
May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.
This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.
Vaccinate your pets please.
If confirmed, this really is a new low, where a state agency is altering image of real events with an intent to deceive the public.
What are they always like this?

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't. By magicmosshka, yesterday's
the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs
