Casual reminder that the super-rich have ironclad class solidarity, and they devote billions to making sure we don't.

Smooth Dunk @smoothdunk2.bsky.social · 6d

get it right

3 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Pink Guy has spray painted the words “All billionaires are scum” on a blue wall. Pleased with his work, he looks at the reader and gives a thumbs up.

Panel 2:
An Orange Guy comes into shot and snatches the can of spray paint out of the Pink Guy’s hand. He looks angry and yells “Hey!”

Panel 3:
The Orange Guy has changed the message so it now reads “All billionaires are scumbag pedophiles.
Both the Pink Guy and the Orange Guy give the reader a thumbs up.

Basically just don't participate in any surveys or studies about trans people right now unless you can verify who's behind it and what their intentions are. Do not give your info to strangers if you're trans in 2026.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 7d

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Years ago, when my seasonal allergies kicked in, I took some allergy medicine. But it only got worse. So I took more. For months, no matter how much allergy medicine I took, my allergies got worse.

Then I learned I was allergic to allergy medicine.

This skeet is about law enforcement funding.

They crave Black and brown faces cowed by their cruelty and subjugation so much that, when we're not cooperative, they'll just manufacture it.

a quick comic about jesus

a comic titled “what would it be like if Jesus came back today?” The first panel shows Jesus standing on a bombed-out street. Several drones are flying into the distance. Jesu says, “do unto others as you would have them d” the text is partially obscured by an american bomb. the remaining panels are blank.

a comic titled “what would it be like if Jesus came back today?” The text “— and he was born American” is added in red. In the first panel, Jesus with a hamburger is standing on a city street. He says, “do unto others as you would have them do unt-“ he is cut off as four operatives with guns and mismatched tactical gear tackle him. One tells, “DOWN ON THe GROUND ASSHOLE!!!” A drone circled overhead and an unmarked van pulls up. “STOP RESISTING” one of the masked men yells at Jesu who is already on the ground with his hands behind his back. More men, drones, and vans arrive. Finally, the scene is mostly obscured by vans and masked men jumping out of them. From back where Jesu was being held, multiple gunshots ring out.

a comic titled “what would it be like if Jesus came back today?” The text “— and he was born AS A WHITE American” is added in red. Jesu stands on the city street with a burger. “Do unto— uh—“ he says. He sits on the burb and eats th burger hurriedly. “Shit, need to finish this before my next shift.” he also has a cigarette and is distracted looking at an assortment of things on his phone. He gets up and heads inside the building. “I shouldn’t have bought that burger now how am I going to pay rent”

a comic titled “what would it be like if Jesus came back today?” The text “— and he was born as a RICH white American” has been added in red. Jesus, shaved and in a suit but still with a burger, stands by the window inside of a skyscraper. “do…” he says, “…you ever feel like you’ve changed so much about yourself in pursuit of wealth that you’ve lost what makes ‘you’ you?” He sighs and looks out the window while eating the burger. From behind him, someone says, “Mr. Christ your private helicopter to rich pedophile island has arrived.” “Ok,” says Jesus. He is gone in the final panel and a helicopter is flying away in the background. He appears to have smeared the remains of his burger on the window before leaving.

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.

I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.

If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)

castpixel.itch.io/animevox

the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!

Wow, sure would be pretty crazy if a ton of experts in the artificial intelligence field relentlessly warned everyone about this state of affairs being inevitable over and over for years.

in the song "I'm Giving Santa a Pikachu for Christmas" professor oak sings "he'll find it rather shocking" and then ash laughs. they're both used to being shocked by pikachu. but santa isn't from their world. he can't just tank a thunderbolt like it's nothing. he's gonna die.

So I am going to say something about romance as a genre.

A lot of people think that romance is ignorable because <insert thing they think about romance> and romance authors don't count because <insert thing they think about romance>.

This thread is not about whether you have to like romance.
