Best. Internet apology post. Ever.

No defensiveness, completely owns it, funny as heck. No notes.

"Disney has gotten too woke! Not like back in the day when we had a dark skinned, explicitly agnostic romani princess who pole-danced using the tools of her oppressors!"

"How autistic are you?"

"Well, a commenter opened by calling me pathetic and a fraud without further elaboration but I still tried to have a civil conversation with them because what if they actually know some secret truth even though they didnt try to engage in anything close to good faith"

"Ah"

Any personal wealth above 10 million dollars should go into social welfare programs and infrastructure.

If you're not enough with ten million dollars, you will never be enough.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Forgive me if this is like the oldest joke in the community and I just missed it, but...

If a cis man becomes a drag queen, does that make the character his... Hersona?

Yeah, I knew he wouldn't be a full on supporter but just going "Oh well, lol" is extremely on brand 🙄
Okay @matbrunetvo.com so it’s been almost a week and neither Doug Walker nor Channel Awesome have responded to this publicly.

But just out of curiosity I DM-ed Doug about this on Facebook (something I’ve never done before) and SHOCKINGLY he responded to me, and well…

(Don’t shoot the messenger)

It's looking quite pie-in-the-sky at the moment, but he does seem to have the right idea and is very much listening to feedback, so keep it on your radar! www.youtube.com/watch?v=P97y...

I've finally fully transitioned to being a parent, we've put restrictions on screen time for our son 😭

I am NOT saying screens are bad at all, and he still gets plenty of time, but especially with his ADHD he can tend to forget other fun activities THAT HE LIKES TO DO are also available😆

Still workshopping it but my Bluesky resolution will be that once Jan 1 hits, I will not be able to make a negative post unless I make a positive one first and wait one hour.

Awareness is important but so is positivity and I need to be the change I want to see 😤👍

A reminder: the billionaires did not leave NY after "tax the rich" Mamdani won the election. They will not leave LA either.

Can't stop thinking about this illustration from 1911 that failed spectacularly at making the Big Bad Wolf look menacing.

He's just a little guy! Lookit him blep! Whoza goo'boy? I just wanna give him a treat 😭

Vivaldi is sounding like something to keep your eye on as the Next Good Browser!

But I also have to admit I'm just glad that Firefox actually caved because i really didn't want to use Waterfox. I was glad it offered an alternative but it felt like one of those legally distinct movie products 😅
“Vivaldi CEO Jon von Tetzchner accused other companies like Google and Microsoft of ‘reshaping the address bar into an assistant prompt, turning the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship.’”

Well, Vivaldi. You had my interest; now you have my attention
After Outcry, Firefox Promises "Kill Switch" That Turns Off All AI Features
Mozilla's new CEO announced that Firefox would become a "modern AI broswer." Its most diehard fans are revolting.

Here's the thing. Trans people are absolutely NOT delusional, but I remember an early right wing talking point was "they can think they're Trans but we dont have to cater to their delusion"

Then they get mad that we cant "see the kindness" in this dystopian horror. The double standard is just gross
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

I especially feel for him in particular, as his "smooth, sexy and hyper detailed" manga style is one of the primary influences for basic wAIfu slop.

I would not be surprised if 40% of the training data for AI anime girls was entirely his work 😢
Heartbreaking words from Dr. STONE mangaka Boichi, who decided to stop posting art on X because of the implementation of the GenAI Edit button

and who has been so distressed by its hostile, destructive purpose to destroy other artists' works that he hasn't been able to eat properly since Christmas😢

Im trying to build up a resistance to motion sickness in VR since I'm not a fan of "teleport style" but smooth motion still turns the old gut 🤢

One thing that helps a bit is imagining I'm cruising through Resident Evil in a Segway 😆

AGENTS WILL GET A PERCENTAGE OF YOUR INCOME

THEY ARE SET FOR LIFE IF YOU SUCCEED

ANY MICROTRANSACTIONS ON TOP OF THAT IS A RED FLAG THE SIZE OF AUSTRALIA
Ok, since this has come up four times in the last three days:

REPUTABLE LITERARY AGENTS WILL NOT CHARGE YOU MONEY.

IF A LITERARY AGENT WANTS TO CHARGE YOU FOR AN "EXPEDITED ACCESS PACKAGE" THIS IS A SCAM.

Friend Group: *is three white guys*
POC: *joins group*
That one weird guy: White people used to be 100% of this friend group. Now it is only 75%. Obviously, this means that 25% of white people have been murdered by POC incentives

If you see a story like this & think "Gee, maybe I'm in a bubble I don't know about", that's a good instinct to have!

BUT

I am begging people to do just a bit of research, as a treat. It can even be fun! Go to the library or bookstore, check new arrivals, and count the white cis male authors! 😅🙄

I dare any antivaxxer to look up Hans Christian Andersen's brief stay at Charles Dickens' house and then tell me to my face that Autism is a recent phenomenon 😅
RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!”

“A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

Ah yes, celebrities are eroding the taboo on smoking with the hippest and hottest new trend, "Using a fork as a cig holder"
With more actors, pop stars and other celebrities spotted unapologetically smoking, the cultural taboo against it shows signs of ebbing. That worries antismoking advocates. 🔗 on.wsj.com/49om2X4

Honestly, this is the 2nd best possible way to own up to it (after just saying this when it first came up 🙄), & I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt since I can't deny that I also played with the funny art generator before I found out how much it sucked.

They're off the hook. For now.
In order to put to rest “did they actually use it or not”, Guillaume Broche said it a recent Q&A that they tried AI when the tech was new, but they didn’t like it, it felt wrong to them. And they will not be using it in the future.
