Checking the news every morning like

i think there’s a “mute replies” option in outlook? which isn’t exactly the same but sorta gets the job done.

i thought so too but it was just in early access.

I see the discourse is back!

Batman slapping Robin meme with the caption, an "18+" sign being over Batman's face while Bluesky's logo is over Robin's. Robin as Bluesky: "No discussing self-harm, suicide, abuse (sexual, drugs, substance, etc.) unless it's educational—!!!" Batman as 18+ creators (or non-professionals in general): "Artists are not teachers or therapists. We are not obligated to teach you anything."

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this

Omaha Zine Club happens this Saturday at the downtown library! I’m helping lead a workshop about printmaking with playdoh! Hope to see you there!

Whenever I see something “powered by AI”

list 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep:

1. persona 5

2. persona 4

3. persona 3

AI ‘Workslop’ Is Killing Productivity and Making Workers Miserable AI slop is taking over workplaces. Workers said that they thought of their colleagues who filed low-quality AI work as "less creative, capable, and reliable than they did before receiving the output."

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.”

if you have a billion dollars you should be legally designated a dragon and any human can adventure against you

haha get shipped, idiot

AI has never been about helping the workforce, its always been about reducing the workforce

Trans people are worth protecting. Not because we are amazing people (although we are) or because we offer a great deal to society (although we do) or because we are fine as hell (we are). We are worth protecting because we are HUMAN BEINGS, and it’s amazing how often that simple fact is forgotten.

What this means in practice is that 14K trans people will have to quit their federal employee jobs and find jobs that cover gender affirming care.

In other words, this is a purge of trans people from the civil service.

Lavender scare.

Everyone who participates is responsible

very cool how cis liberals value "can do a mediocre trump impression on the nazi social media app" over "thinks trans people shouldn't be sacrificed" when choosing political candidates

anyway i know omaha has Problems but i’m glad to be back.

i wrote a zine about leaving omaha 13 years ago and i phrased it like i was breaking up with this city, ‘cause that’s how it felt at the time. coming back feels a lot like reconciling with an ex.

i’m back in omaha and feeling pretty good about it, y’all.

inquiring minds must know which song 👀

I wish you would die.

A thing not often mentioned here is one of the things OpenAI is trying to take away is community. Having experts beyond yourself — and professionals and friends and family and and and — means interacting with them, enforcing community. This attempts (poorly, thankfully) to diminish and destroy that.

A screengrab of Tumblr user Gemini Zines's text post reads "i think everyone should make zines. about everything all the time. make a zine about a playlist, about a good sandwich you made, about a cool bug you saw, about a skill you can teach, about a cause you care about. put them everywhere. pin them to community boards and tape them to poles and leave them in cafes and in between library books. i hate how social media has been taken over more than ever now by big greedy corporations and people and has become a mess of churning shit out for the algorithm. zines have no algorithm it is just the love in your heart the passion in your soul whatever your pencil decides to put on paper!! and it's beautiful!! make zines now!"

"zines have no algorithm" 💘

meme format where a man from an anime is looking at a butterfly and asks if it's a pigeon, but instead the man is Americans, the butterfly is labeled "basic human rights” and the quote is "is this communism?"

probably a good time to bring this back

I said this to my friend last night and I think it's a good thing to think about:

If no one else, make art for your younger self. Make art of your ocs that your younger self would have dreamed to be able to draw. Make art that would make them keyboard smash an excited reply to. Make art for you.
