I really hope 2026 will be the year AI collapses, between companies slowly realizing no one wants it, and it's only innovation in 5 years is making Scamming and theft far easier than before, it needs to collapse soon
‘Demon Slayer’ creators on the future of AI in anime:
“Our studio, Aniplex and Ufotable, will continue to work with our HAND-DRAWN artists, our writers, our voice actors, and the talent that help bring this emotion to the big screen.”

As of today I’ve removed Twitter from my phone and locked my account.
Elon going all in on Generative AI, including enabling Grok to generate deepfakes OF MINORS is unconscionable.
This year we ALL need to be louder than ever about this: GenAI is largely unethical and needs to be regulated.

Listening to the news and various people frame the TN election as disappointing
22+R to 6+R with ultra aggressive political advertising in the district for Republicans is a TERRIBLE sign
Wait for a toss-up district's red seat retire or kick the bucket.

With SNAP potentially being paused, inconsistent workloads, and my family's debt being alot for us to handle; I wanted to advertise my Kofi more. I'd love to get rid of as much debt as I can so it can take a ton of stress off of us at this time of year.

So... after what happened at the border today, Clover and I are essentially homeless.
I've got no choice but to change my GoFundMe while we look for housing. Anything you can spare will help.

Probably my last vent post on this account, but I just feel so useless in the world, Animation feels like the only thing I'm decent at and everything else I'm not. Because of some disabilities that I've only recently tried coping with, it makes me feel like I'm just the dead weight of my family

I need to make like a vent account or something cause I have so many feelings I need to work through that I don't want to crowd this account with all that and focus on art and animation

Would people still be interested in an Indie Animated series if it was a Sitcom? It would have light lore, some horror elements, and would be quite a bit gayer than most others that air on mainstream networks, but the base would still be a sitcom at the end of the day.
