An easy one: Any comics film adaptation that exists without the original creator being able to pay off their house is a moral failure

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

One thing a lot of my friends missed from other social media platforms was interacting with venerable Japanese game devs. To that end I've made a list of folks I know are here, focusing on devs whose games you will have heard of. Please share and tell me who I'm missing! go.bsky.app/5R1tEtT

Fuck it. I got time today.

Ive been using AI professionally since 2022. Ive used it for generating "art", training an AI model and marketing for a large corporation.

I can tell you factually, that not only is AI currently NOT TRANSFORMATIONAL... its annoying to use and LESS than useless.

not only does Gary Larson still have the juice, it seems to have only gotten stronger

a man is buried in the same up to his neck, being devoured by ants. A family of ants are in the foreground taking a touristy photo of it.

Two options:
- Can, but won't (for any number of reasons)
- Can't, but also can't admit it

As huge fans of Eric Carle, we were honored to see Good Old-Fashioned Korean Spirit featured in the @carlemuseum.bsky.social gift shop during banned books week!

Especially since the previous book in the series, No Rules Tonight, has entire plotline about the historical banning of Carle's books.

Part of espionage is the part where you sneak into places you’re not allowed, and listen to other people’s drama.

DOG of BLUD @dogblud.bsky.social · 4d

I see artists trade their patreon and ko-fi links all the time and it seems sometimes like it's only other artists and a handful of regular followers that pass those round.

It really does help. Previous clients saying on comm ads they had a good experience also helps a lot too.

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

Love when @hankgreen.bsky.social makes a video screaming what I have screaming in my head. It's good to not feel so alone.

Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist.

“The scheme provides unconditional, regular payments to eligible artists and creative workers, allowing them to focus on their practice without the pressure of commercial viability.”

“A cost-benefit analysis by Alma Economics found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 in return.”

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
