Something I drew inspired by the #MikeTyson #NowKith meme that had been going round. I can imagine Balrog from #streetfighter also having a fondness of #birds and would encourage #FalcoLombari and #kazooie to kiss.

The media hasn't been covering this much and we're all desperate for good news so here's some.
Solar in particular has been kicking ass. We're (planet-wide) deploying a gigawatt per day.
A GIGAWATT PER DAY. Think about it.

Your followers are ghosts. Your big number means nothing.
Any art you're posting is being fed directly to Grok.
It throttles outgoing links to the point of uselessness.
You mere presence empowers one of the worst men alive.
Like, seriously: why are you still there? Where is the line?

I was on Twitter in 2009. The first time my art ever went viral was bc Wil Wheaton rt’d it. I made a lot of friends, fans and contacts on Twitter.
Twitter. Is. Dead.
It’s “x” now. It’s not the place we all loved to hang out, anymore. It was killed and now Nazis are infesting the corpse. Leave it.

Artists need to let this sink in:
The thousands of followers who insist you stay there are actively hurting you at this point. You deserve a better audience who understands your rights and concerns. The sooner you rebuild, the easier it gets.

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too.
Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

My latest bit of sprite animation I'm making for our #gamemakerstudio game. In this #GIF Taro doesn't have a dedicated run button but once you unlock his charge ability, and can run full force into any enemy or structure.

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.”

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

Here is a full line up of all the sprites I've made for my main character of a #GamemakerStudio game I'm working on at the moment. I still need to make a duck sprite, a jump sprite that shows her rising and falling, and a victory animation when a level or battle is complete.

I'm just going to upload my #GIFs as short movie loops from now on. There are only a little bigger file size wise as the original gifs themselves.

Still not sure how to get #GIFs working on here. I can see it working when I post it but can't see it working when it's finally uploaded. Can someone drop some knowledge on a brother?

If you voted for Trump, I hope it ends up ruining you.
We're going to try to look out for each other and maybe save what we can. If you somehow get rescued along the way that's fine, but none of us are going to break our backs to help you.
Fucking suffer.

This video is more than 1 minute long so I can't upload it, if you're on mobile you can watch it in browser without tiktok by using desktop view. Couple notes, he never says IRA was Biden or the EO is Trump. He voted for a Trump.
Also to add this is nothing against anyone who works with the NRCS. Absolutely amazing people who have been super helpful. It’s just out of their hands. I have never been so stressed in my life. #poli...

If your boss or company tells you to do something unethical: don't say yes. Make them write it down.
If they won't put it in writing yourself. Send an email (bcc yourself?): "Following our conversation on x date at x time regarding x, I am writing to clarify your directives. According to my notes, you instructed me to A, B, and C. If any of this is incorrect, please advise. I have some concerns."

I honestly think everyone on the left really needs to watch this video, because it kind of explains in depth why being quieter on things like trans rights is such a gigantic mistake rn.
In short trump won bc right wingers showed up, not bc anyone moved right.
