Become far less tolerant of bullshit in 2026. Leave toxic shit, toxic mannerisms, toxic longings and toxic relationships, (hell leave all the toxicity in general), and toxic people back where they belong in 2025

Honestly pretty shocking it was just 50% before the pandemic but falling by half in 5 years is horrifying
The share of counties where 95% or more of kindergartners were vaccinated against measles has dropped from 50% before the pandemic to 28%, according to our analysis of public records from 44 states and the District of Columbia. At least 19,000 schools are now more vulnerable to outbreaks.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!”
And
I hate to say it
But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas
Quit.

Remember that all AI can do is iterate on shit that's already been done. It can't create anything new.

These labels/stamps aren't a magic seal that scares AI away. Even if you use them as a watermark. For an active defense measure use something like Glaze and NightShade. The stamps are meant as a statement from the artists to the public in a non-intrusive manner 😉 I needed them for my own art!

Ok, I've been living under a rock and disassociating from reality (as you do), and I totally missed the release of the Skelly pilot!
Friends, please give it a watch! I truly love it, and I think you will too.

If we do, the 1000th viewer will get a free print signed by me! 🖤🦴

Skelly Closet Cases (Pilot Animatic)
Welcome to the Skelly universe. 💀 This is “Closet Cases,” the pilot episode that started it all. Meet Sarah Kazner — an overworked designer barely keeping it together — and the skeleton who quite literally lives in her closet. Together, they navigate burnout, identity, and what it means to confront the things we hide. This project has been a year in the making — powered by indie creators, late nights, and pure passion. If you believe in independent animation and stories that dig deep (and make you laugh along the way), you’re in the right place. 🦴 Sit back, grab your Bone Water, and enjoy the ride.

we do not have to engage with this idea in good faith, it's ableist and a shallow excuse for stealing. anyone can enjoy art, but when you give these people a paper and pencil they reject it. they want to skip to the praise and accolades they see artists receive, that's the whole thing. just childish
just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!
