Why on EARTH would anyone suspend Goran?? @safety.bsky.app and @support.bsky.team get him back on here. What are you doing??

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.

Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

Gonna have to open up some emergency comms, though I won't have capacity for big complicated pieces. Here's some rates if interested!

DMs are open and email is in bio.

Bluesky has suspended my bro @Gorangligovic.bsky.social, who’s an amazing artist that would always share Palestinian and other mutual aids while speaking against Bluesky’s mods which would delete these accounts.

Fuck Bluesky.
Screenshot of Goran’s account that says Error, Not Found, Account has been suspended.

I think the only useful thing AI has done so far is make it abundantly clear that being a CEO isn't a reliable indicator of intelligence or foresight.

Drawing some coffin bois

Also featuring Sokkies, the game jam cat.

Game jamming in Tulbach with @freelives.bsky.social and some other lovely folks
Monochrome drawings of some Victorian pallbearers done in a silly cartoony style. A bunch of ink and pencil character concept drawings of Victorian era mourners A photo of a petite tuxedo cat with white toes underneath my desk at the jam site looking up at me. A photo from my hotel room in Tulbach, showing the mountains in the distance and vineyards.

Two fish characters from SpongeBob SquarePants, one buff male and a smaller female sitting on a bench holding hands and looking at each other. The smaller one is wearing torn jeans and a yellow Tee while the big guy is wearing booty shorts and stripper heels. Both of them are sparkling. There's a caption that reads: "My bisexual boyfriend and I in our straight passing relationship" Original post: https://bsky.app/profile/swampy.bsky.social/post/3m25bpsob5c2j

Photograph of a guy holding a poster for Cirith Ungol in his hands. He is wearing dark clothes and a green hat. In the background is a messy studio wall with a woven hanging of a bird in white on blue, a greyscale painting of a construction site, some scribbles stuck to the wall. A bookshelf with paraphernalia. In the foreground is a small warrior in a green tunic with chain maile and a wooden sword.

Patron Saint of Hating ChatGPT
An anthropomorphic coyote in peasant’s garb stabs a massive pencil into a shattered, sparking ChatGPT logo. The coyote is grinning, with patchwork wings splayed behind them, and their pose is reminiscent of St Michael Slaying the Devil. Behind them is a marble archway, bursting with pencils, paints, and creative implements. Same image but with a black background behind the marble arch.

cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention
