The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were β€œDEI.” It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.

this would require US publishing to not do stupid shit like killing the mmpb and putting all their eggs in blockbuster baskets

My friend found out I use Paint Tool Sai for most of my work and was so flabbergasted that they said I was like a monkey successfully building an aircraft with a hammer and tbh yeah that sounds like most Sai users in the modern Clip studio paint era

conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it

Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident

What a joy it will be to have to treat every new work like a ticking time bomb until proven otherwise because mastercard wants to make sure fags dont get paid

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Girl Frame confidently stomps its way into a niche mecha genre Ast-Hound-ing

"Messy lesbians, toxic power dynamics, giant robots fighting eldritch horrors, oppression, and hard choices."

AM READING, CAN CONFIRM: the loreplay is tasty (feat. a death-obsessed city, shockingly understated blood magic, plot-relevant bioluminescence &more) plus an engagingly curious, sociable, yet vulnerable MC and Mysterious Older Woman, Clearly More Than She Appears. Tension is satisfyingly smoldering!

Zoey is presenting as an Alpha in her mid twenties after living her whole life as an Omega, and she isn't sure why it's making her stare at Celine so much but the older Alpha is surely the best person to give her advice and help her keep cool! .... Right? Right????

Don’t think the conditions are the same as GA but what I don’t think people understand is the new strain of southern democrat is unabashedly progressive and has suburban backing. It’s happening from NC to Texas.

This is the other issue. Locking up product, but only in certain locations was a bad move.

Notice how accountability is happening because popular Mangaka are leading the charge, speaking out publicly, pulling their work from the publisher, and demanding immediate change?

This is the proper response to a publisher enabling creeps.

*Warning, pretty dark stuff mentioned in article*
