A blog about the stuff I'm interested in. Most recently that's art, games and especially transit infrastructure. Odd, maybe, but I want to think about building the kind of world I want to live in.

They were one of the first platforms to make explicit rules on AI use and tools to flag them. Still one of the few sites to do it, because Newgrounds is a website for artists.

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Protesters aren't kidnapping people and disappearing them. They're not blanketing communities with tear gas. They're not shooting people with rubber bullets.

These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.

If you see people saying the Freedom Flotilla approaching Gaza needs to be stopped remind them that it's transporting baby food and prosthetic limbs for children and that only the vilest ghouls imaginable who have lost all their humanity would try and prevent such a delivery

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from

I can't say this emphatically enough: familiarize yourself with open source software as soon as you can because as much as you hate Linux nerds and FSF hippies, they're right. Open source is the last defense against surveillance capitalism, enshittification and the silicon valley rent-seeking agenda

This story makes me so incandescently angry. From the demons who killed him to the cops who shrugged off his attempts to find help to the news media that presented his death like an accident to the entertainment industry that used him for a punchline & threw him away. A plague on all your houses.

I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone. #unboundless

SkyMuseum is live! We hope you enjoy playing our game as much as we loved making it. What started as an experiment is now a full 3D gallery where you can explore Bluesky feeds and art shares like the works of art they truly are. Download it here: twigbit.itch.io/skymuseum

Guys I am so serious right now, you need to give your artists these type of doodles whenever you have a clear picture in mind you'd like us to draw. It helps more than 100 moodboards. I LOVE getting these. Never be shy.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Why is alt text so important? It’s not only great for accessibility and people with slow connections—it also benefits everyone: it allows your posts to be searched for what’s in the alt text and people can mute posts they don’t want to see.

this bill is FILLED with bullshit, including the decade long freeze of genAI regulations (while south memphis chokes), and an increased difficulty in receiving social safety net services. here’s the part about trans healthcare. please please please call your reps.

Folks, the House advanced the disastrous reconciliation bill, with the destructive 10-year State Ban against regulations for AI intact! We now MUST mobilize our calls to the Senate! Call today! If you need a script the post below offers a fantastic alternative! We only have one chance! Lets go!

It bears repeating that 5calls.org makes it incredibly easy to contact your reps. They give you the phone numbers, a script to read, and a run down of what is happening with each issue. I just called my senators in my pjs half awake and I'll probably do it some more later
