A poster with a colorful stack of books on the left and this text on the right: “Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

True story.

Fine, I'll repost my edit.

I saw an opportunity, and it was too good to pass up.

I'm shocked no one thought to make this edit yet.

We should be learning from other countries...

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

A thumbnail for a Defender pendant pin in the shop now! This is a base Defender-Z, so the pin is black. It has a backing on it.

A thumbnail for Zyearth Bookmarks for sale, featuring Trecheon, a red furry, Darvin, a deer furry, Izzy, a golden brown furry, and Lance, a wolf furry.

A thumbnail for the book Greetings from Earth, which features a corkboard with memorabilia, newspaper clippings, and a postcard featuring six cast members from Zyearth.

Greetings friends! I have some exciting news!

The Zyearth.com shop is fully up and running with new updates! Every novelette and anthology is now available for purchase in paperback! I also have stickers, pins, bookmarks, and postcards!

Take a gander! www.zyearth.com/bookshop

@regularcars.bsky.social put it best: If you drive a Model S, you can pry off the badge and stick on Audi rings to blend in. If you drive a Model 3 or X, you can put on that bumper sticker that says you got it before Elon went crazy.

Assholes bought Cybertrucks -because- Elon went crazy.

Saw not one not two but three cybertrucks in short succession yesterday #yucky

A hit skeet, lol. XD If you like good writing, DRM free books, and paperbacks direct from the author, come read my magepunk books full of found family, social commentary, and creative swearing. www.zyearth.com/bookshop

I too am being called out.

A half-wit president is about to go half-cocked on a half-assed semblance of a plan.

...So, a Tuesday.

Nintendo.

Who hurt you, and why did you design the top screen of the 3DS like this instead of going to therapy?

Good evening.

I'm not sure what I'll do. Maybe find a secluded parking lot and do some celebratory donuts. Then I'll yell out a triumphant scream the likes of which will be heard for miles.

Then maybe I'll order a pizza, or something.

Seems like it should be bigger news that Sam Altman is being sued for raping his own sister when she was a child

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch."

― Edgar Mitchell

Hell yeah! Shoutout to all my autistic homies, especially the ones who didn’t find out until early adulthood and suddenly everything started making sense.

Oh. Oh my God.

As an IT professional that has seen issues exactly like this, I am losing my mind.

illustration depicts Shadow the Hedgehog wearing fashionable techwear clothing (m56) while also riding an Arch KRGT-1 Motorcycle, an homage to Keanu Reeves motorcycle brand and his role as Shadow the Hedgehog in the recent Sonic motion pictures. A tech brutalism version of shadow's emblem is shown in the upper right.

PRJ. Shadow

imagine the Pope personally calling you a fake bitch who's going to hell lol

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

I feel like they'd get along

I think with the level of venom with which AI proponents have treated artists, writers, musicians, whole creative industries, they deserve at the very least to have that venom met in kind, and I hope it stings. I'm only sorry it hasn't happened sooner. Party's over, enjoy the hangover.

First Sora now Meta, big tech asbestos finally getting its due

A text image of a small part of the transcript of a conversation between Ari Shapiro and David Simon (Creater of 'The Wire') on a segment on NPR during the wirter's strike of 2023: Shapiro: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had that tool to solve those thorny problems... Simon: What? Shapiro: ...Or saying... Simon: You imagine that? Shapiro: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. Simon: I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. Shapiro: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into AI and say, give. me 10 ideas for how to transition this. Simon: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

And if you think this is just some BS meme image, you can listen to the man himself: www.npr.org/transcripts/...

Rust in piss, you won't be missed.
