My cat Jeju is going through some very serious health troubles.
While it’s uncomfortable asking for help, as an artist I thought I could create something that people could buy to help support Jeju’s vet bills.
This is the help Jeju sticker packs and all profits will go toward supporting Jeju’s

Celebrimbor and the Rings of Power
The masterwork he coveted, the maker he desired—held at last where neither can slip from him again. The stone Celebrimbor never warms beneath his hand; his skin has grown too cold.

So many people who imagine themselves to be Marxists have a deeply liberal and idealist understanding of transphobia. It's not a debate, it's a power struggle and if you aren't willing to clearly take trans people's side, you are a scab.
Nah, bullshit tbh. You don't deal with the presence of transphobes by debating them. That the guy arguing no felt comfortable doing so and wasn't immediately heckled into silence speaks to a fundamental fucking rot.

You shouldn’t have to present your ID, credit card info, or face to be scanned just to access your favorite sites, news, or games yet this is the growing reality for Internet users globally. We need a firestorm to take down online ID checks for good-- so we planned one. Join us for a week of action!

And this is why we fight. This shit won't last long at this rate. If they keep racking up half-TRILLION dollar loss projections, even the most bullish, fascist-ass weirdo billionaire is going to have to stop to keep from losing his shirt.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Just a heads up with all the Christmas markets and fairs on at the moment - if you see art or art-based pieces for sale, ask who the artist is, because the amount of people deceptively slapping "made locally" on pieces locally farted out by their computer and a genAI prompt is getting depressing

The Curragh in Co Kildare is ecologically trashed due to sheep grazing.
I understand politicians need to feel their county has something to offer but surely the National Park label needs to carry some shred of integrity?

Government urged to make the Curragh a national park
Fianna Fáil senator Fiona O’Loughlin told the Seanad it was agreed in the programme for government that a conservation plan for the Curragh would be implemented

This guy needs transport from Solano County to LA County (Suisun to Palmdale, CA) if anyone has ideas for getting him there before Monday. His chances of survival are best if he goes asap but I am having a baf time with my neck issues and Chewy isn’t feeling well so I want to keep an eye on him.
Goliath’s hanging in there, not pooping on his own yet but he is more alert and active today and eating for us now unassisted. He’s showing some minor signs of URI, but probably is not going to the emergency vet tonight? Fingers crossed?
