The cultural works becoming public domain in 2026, from Betty Boop to Nancy Drew
The original Betty Boop, the first four Nancy Drew books and Greta Garbo's first talkie are among the many works from 1930 that will be free to use, share and remake starting on Jan. 1.

The annual airing of grievances is upon us and I couldn't agree more with this one!

I live in Alaska.
It's part of the United States.
If you ship to/within the U.S. there should NOT be exceptions for AK and HI.
If you do limit shipping to AK and HI, please post that up front, so I don't go through your entire site, put things in my cart, then find out AFTER I hit order.

Let’s air those grievances. I want to hear your pettiest gripes on this the holiest of days.

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months.
It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Since Trump is addressing the nation tonight, I can't help but think back to one of the strangest TV moments I've ever experienced: Sarah Palin singing Baby Got Back on The Masked Singer right into Trump's COVID address

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.
Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

Susie Wiles is a canny political operator who knows exactly what she’s doing and bears a ton of responsibility for the way Trump has been normalized by the press
that she sees the writing on the wall is maybe the clearest sign of where this ends and the coming knife fight to inherit MAGA

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

I was going through customs and the friendly Canadian asked my profession. I told him I'm a filmmaker and illustrator.
He wanted to know if I'd made anything he might have seen. I don't know why but I blurted out, "Nipple Fire?"
I was immediately selected for a "random" additional screening.

I have terrible news for me...
When I hit my forties I made this little image of some of the "tough old men" characters I grew up with and the ages of the actors portraying them so that I'd have context for when I started to weather, which I certainly have done.
Today, I'm officially "old Robin Hood" years old.

Even if you *could* "fix" the nazi platform — WHY WOULD YOU BUILD ECONOMIC VALUE FOR A WHITE SUPREMACIST. I swear people are goddamn fools. "Tell your progressive friends to go buy a Tesla so that other Tesla drivers might like us better?" Money is power. Don't give Musk power. Read a goddamn book.
You can’t “fix” X, The Everything App by going back and posting there because the owner has this thumb on the scale of the algorithm to promote the worst ideas and people. It’s not a viable solution, you have to let it go.
Dear Bluesky liberals. Come back to Twitter. Please. PLEASE.
