“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement.

After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

A few days late to posting this, but I went to Lightbox Expo on Friday and had an awesome time! Shoutout to all the inspiring artists whose booths I walked past and got goodies from, as well as @samkestin.bsky.social for their wonderful presentation on neurodiversity in the animation industry!
A few items I got from Lightbox Expo, including prints of Iron Bundle & Mega Dragonite from Pokemon, a print based on the game Stray, and a print featuring the children’s book character Corduroy with the caption “unfortunately the vibe is continuing to deteriorate”. A few items I got from Lightbox Expo, including an original print featuring stylish and cheerful mage, an original print featuring an overgrown gardening robot, an Indiana Jones drink coaster, and a sticker of Meta Knight from the Kirby series wearing a sombrero & mustache holding a guitar. A few items I got from Lightbox Expo, including a print and sticker of Hornet from the Hollow Knight series, a sticker of fleas from Hollow Knight: Silksong, a sticker of the mouse from the If You Give A Mouse A Cookie children’s book series, a sticker sheet with characters from the Pikmin franchise, a charm of Kris from Detarune, and a decal of a wise cat saying “AH! Hello there! It appears you’ve found yourself in an unskippable cutscene! Well, there’s nothing to worry about. I’ll try to make this as quick and painless as possible. The more you read and the more time you spend looking at this means the end is getting closer and closer! Think of it like this: of all the things you could have been doing, you’re spending your time here, reading this. And that, my friend, is priceless.”

The world lost a genial man, a genius communicator and a supreme artist. I lost a friend - beloved Drew.

I JUST CALLED MY HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE TO LET EM KNOW I OPPOSE THE "One Big Beautiful Bill Act".

Steps:

1. Went to 5calls.org
2. Picked a topic I cared about
3. Entered where I live and BOOM I get a script and phone number to call.

DASSIT! YOUR TURN!!!!
A screenshot of 5calls.org. It's has the number and name for my local house representative. There is also a written script provided to use. A screenshot of a part of 5calls.org website. Put in your locatioon, pick a struggle (a topic lol), and info will come up for you (ie; your rep's name and number and a script you can read during your phone call).

fucked around in kid pix and made a comic #makeaterriblecomicday2025
4 panel comic. Panel 1: person holding two weed gummies saying “I’m gonna take two gummies instead of my usual one!” Panel two: them eating the gummies and saying “down the hatch!” Panel 3: person just chillin panel 4: a pink, ethereal shape appears Panel 5: the shape grows larger. It is symmetrical. Panel 6: it grows larger still, with red added. Panel 7: the shape grows even larger, adding more colors. The person says “God, is that you?” Panel 8: the shape says something, in wingdingy type shaped letters. Panel 9: person goes “Haha! Good one, God. You’re such a scamp” panel 10: they both just chill there. Panel 11: same panel as 10, but slightly disjointed. Panel 12: things get even more disjointed Panel 13: Weirdness ensues. Strange grids appear. Panel 14: the image starts repeating/tiling itself. Panel 15: the whole world forms into a giant swirl Panel 16: the swirl begins to repeat/tile. The world is completely abstract
