The most amateur piece from the heart and hand will always be more meaningful than generative slop
If you believe that creating art is too hard to do with your own hands and mind, you do not deserve to create it. It is painful, arduous, and soul-sucking in every step from conception to release.

But it bears love, truth, and authenticity machine can't ever recreate in the end.

Playing with my 2DS again to play Pokémon, and I totally forgot about menu themes.

I now know that the Dreamcast theme has Phantasy Star Online music, since I hadn't played it yet at the time!! 🥺

You do know that everyone in both parties involved with this are going to have to go to prison right ?

Like all of them at a minimum must never be allowed to see freedom again.

Every one must go. It’s essential to the reestablishment of democracy that this entire network must go down.
Finally have confirmation that the 'liked them young' guy who was redacted is indeed Bill Clinton.

I mean if you're still reading The New York Times at this point you're reading the paper that quietly shielded the largest pedophile conspiracy of our time.
It's still hard for me to fathom that the New York Times *had* proof of Epstein's pedophile ring on their servers since 2016 and just chose not to do anything with it.

I've known for a while that the press was corrupt, but I didn't know to this extent.

Any other time, any other President, and "the dude was in a global conspiracy to fuck them kids" would have been 24/7 coverage. Even Dubya.

I remember the fucking Lewinsky coverage. Our media have become craven hacks carrying water for rich pedophiles and I feel insane typing that but there it is.

Dean made one exuberant yelling noise and the entire political media declared him a dead man walking.

NPR's Talk of the Nation had a weekly political segment and the introduction included the Dean Scream until the show ended in 2013.

But our Fourth Estate decided fucking kids is no big deal.
For four days tv news played Howard Dean screaming 633 times back in 2004!

53 NYT articles by Maggie Haberman about Hillary’s emails, 48 about Benghazi, not one about Trump’s mafia ties or Epstein.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

I find myself increasingly wondering how able bodied people appear to believe that being disabled is"easy."
Getting accommodations in school, uni and/or work: easy, a breeze, even!
Getting a doctor to write you a certificate supporting your needs: EASY!
Working from home: EASY!

Admittedly I am curious to see what vtubers manage to do with the 6-second-long format

Please do not make the videos longer than this - we do not need another tiktok clone
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

i feel so bad for artists who now have to deal with accusations that their work is ai

Its so demeaning to the life of work they put into their art, and it must suck to have to argue that your work is in fact your own.

If you can draw, that's really cool, I think you are great.

When Covid caused NYC offices to hollow out what they found was that yeah the core business districts suffered but the neighborhoods where people actually live, thrived.

All WFH means is rethinking business districts, not cities.
if you cant go in to the office 3 days a week then you really can't complain when cities are hollowed out. cities are places where ppl work and network. getting rid of that makes cities useless
And it's usually something like "but that's not what the literal DNC does!" as if I don't know, as someone who has worked on Dem campaigns, sometimes in conjunction with the DNC what they do. So I'm going to be very specific here: this is the DNC being shitty: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...
