People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.

Eurovision has allowed Israel to compete in 2026.

Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, and the Netherlands have pulled out of the competition following the decision.

Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. Says Skeletor, often forgetting this himself and therefore still running running running.

Okay bear with me. My amazing friend Robyn (@haykebyr.bsky.social) did this amazing image based on my stupid ass joke. It's Miss Piggy photoshopped into some Sister of Battle armour, with the white bob haircut and a fleur de lys tattoo on her cheek and everything. Except she's got pink satin gloves on. The caption is "In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future there is Only Moi" because that's the whole joke. Thank you.

While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it
A drawing of ET waving at us on the cardboard packaging for a 1980s product called "E.T. Punch Balls" As this is a repost of a Feb 2023 tweet of mine, found here https://x.com/DemonTomatoDave/status/1623464715077795840?s=19 , I have taken this photo from the No Context E.T. account who posted it there, and who originally I retweeted.

LUCASARTS PRESENTS
Columbo in:
SCUMM of the Earth
#pixelart
a pixel art scene of Columbo doddering around rendered in a style reminiscent of LucasArts' Point and Click adventure games. Columbo is looking at a dog resting on the ground, with the inspect dialogue: "You're a real friendly boy aren't you? Oh, you're a girl." In his inventory is a cigar, an egg, some sunflower seeds and some dog treats.

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"
The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. " "You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

Pokémon Scarlet/Violet NPC: Pokémon training is my dream, and no one is going to stop me!

Pokémon Legends: Z-A NPC: Does the wind whisper death to you, too? Do you sense the countless souls around you, begging to be released? Are we alive, or is hell here on earth?

信頼度の高い企業が、生成AIの出力される仕組みをしっかり説明せずに騙すように普及させていることも大問題だと思う
たまに親御さんに画像データが収集されそれが二次利用される事を説明するけど、そんなの知らなかったが大半

私もMSやNTT、果てはデザイン書を出版する企業にテレビ局やメディアまでもが不誠実にユーザーを騙そうとするとは思いもしなかった
(出版社に至っては権利問題の書籍出してたよな…？)

少し前はネットリテラシー高めようという動きがあった筈なんだが…どこー？

Whenever I see people talk about why the Pokémon franchise is or isn't evolving, I'm reminded of an interview I did with a former Nintendo of America employee. We were discussing the move to promote Gen 2, Gold/Silver, and all the merchandise that would be involved in that.

It was revealing.

This meme made me laugh.
A meme with a character from Watchmen whose name I can’t remember, saying: It is 1982. I am one year old. Tron bombs at the box office It is 2010. I am twenty-nine years old. Tron bombs at the box office It is 2025. I am fourty-four years old. Tron bombs at the box office

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.
