If nobody's shared it over here yet that you've seen, Grok's new update has it saying facts over feelings that (insert anti-Semitic or Chinese statement) and now it's been tricked by groypers into calling itself MechaHitler

there is such an insane amount of money and clout to be made by any Democratic elected leader willing to get arrested and given a show sentence by Trump right now. if someone like Pritzker spent a couple months in jail they'd raise enough to run for president in t-shirt sales alone
Pritzker: "Let me assure you, the state of Illinois will fight this unlawful order with everything we have."
He then repeats a line he first used in his public comments following the election last November: "If you come for my people, you come through me." #twill

@govpritzker.illinois.gov, addressing reporters in Chicago now: "What Donald Trump tried to do in the last 24 hours is illegal. Let's be clear, this is a demonstration of cruelty against people who depend on us." #twill

I wrote about the end of irony-shielding and shared a few stories from my 2024 that might be considered heartening: bad-faith-times.ghost.io/caring-not-d...

When social media sites tell you moderation has limits I want you to know there was a time when you could only find the worst people on obscure forums created for being offensive because everywhere else moderated them into those corners.

This is a classic that I referenced a lot when I was starting out and it’s still a goldmine of helpful information on a broad range of art topics. Would recommend checking it out if you hadn’t yet!
Great time to remind everyone to check out Arne's PSG art tutorial. It covers a lot of topics quickly and applies to all art, including #gameart. Especially good for #handpainted texturing too!

God I miss blogs.
Blogs are great.
I love blogging, especially when the blogs are also reporting things that others are not

if this just sounds like a version of what pre-hogan-lawsuit gawker was - this is why conservatives spent so much effort destroying gawker!

I think the thing that the tech media needs to realign around is supporting and serving users of products. You can still cover from an industry perspective, for investors, for all that, but it needs to start with how the actions in question effect real people.

20 minute value head studies: my favorite warm up returns. I lost a lot of value grouping but just trying to get back to being able to sketch from ref quickly enough to get back there. Being able to easily eyeball and replicate shapes is the skill that degrades fastest when Im not using it regularly
