That artist is the founder of Cara by the way (https://cara.app/zemotion/all).

Cara is the only art platform I have found that not only prohibits AI art from being uploaded on the site, but also offers their users to Glaze their art (which protects them from ai mimicry). They are also working on implementing Nightshade, which actively poisons ai training.

I have used Cara for a couple of months now, and I hope more people check it out. It's really nice. 💚

We need these kinds of places for artists, and it's also FREE (despite the staff paying out of their own pockets to keep it running).

reblogging this as I was just complaining about the rampant AI usage on pinterest yesterday lol

Even if you're not an artist, I highly recommend signing up just to lurk because it's been such a lovely wholesome experience free of the noise and brainrot that comes with the ads and reels on instagram. As a writer I think it has a niche for connecting authors with cover designers and illustrators. I'm documenting my experience in this thread if anyone wants to follow along!

This is actually extremely worrying? Not the website or whatever, I mean the court case. It breaks with longstanding standards in fine art. Appropriation art is well established and accepted, recontextualization is itself a creative process. And he didn't just recontextualize it (which, again, should have been enough), he actually painted it in oil. A painting is not a copy! Every single brush stroke is an act of artistic expression, it doesn't matter if it traces an existing image.

This happened in 2025.

His name is Chris Gatlin. He’s a Black man. AI has, for years, been worse at recognizing Black people. Black activists have been speaking up for years about how police use of AI will perpetuate racism in the justice system.

The victim repeatedly told the police that he was not a reliable witness due to sustaining a head injury from the assault. On top of this, police pressured the victim into identifying Gatlin as the suspect, even though he had already identified two other suspects. It took 17 months police to finally hand over the bodycam footage, which they conveniently forgot to say existed in the first place. The case was dismissed soon after.

Yo

lmao done, now I just need to get better at learning Reaper.

Area Man Experiences Consequences, Whines About It

If you're in the notes thinking this is really only about little origami stars

Red flags such as:

- Dismissing his girlfriend’s hobbies and interests.

- Talking her out of buying fancy paper because HE doesn’t think it’s important. (Why does it matter if she spends her money on something she likes for her hobbies?)

- Destroying a thing his girlfriend made, repeatedly

- Disregarding when she asked him to stop, because he just couldn’t help himself.

- Ignoring that this thing he’s doing clearly upsets his girlfriend

- Lying to her repeatedly

- That whole mess of homophobic nonsense in the update, and acting like he’s the victim when he actually experiences consequences.

Classic DARVO response (Deny, Attack, Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender).

- First he says it wasn’t him, must have been her roommates destroying her things.

-It’s not a big deal, they’re just little paper stars, why are you making such a big deal about this? It doesn’t matter.

- Trying to guilt-trip her about how she could have seriously damaged his computer with that glitter!  Why is everyone being so MEAN telling him he’s the asshole? And how dare she date someone else! Can’t you see how unfair and TERRIBLE she’s being to him? And he’s ALL ALONE for Thanksgiving because she’s just being so UNREASONABLE. (Totally ignoring that these things are all consequences of his actions.)

Reminder: You can break up with someone for ANY REASON. Even if it’s “not a big deal” - if they’re not respecting you, your belongings, or your boundaries, that is TOTALLY a valid reason to break up with somebody or end a friendship.

here's the story. i know expressvpn has been recommended in some 🏴‍☠️ how-to posts but it is not trustworthy. the parent company, kape technologies, not only used to distribute malate but has ties to multiple state surveillance agencies. and be careful where you look for info about good vpns, because kape technologies owns a bunch of "vpn review" sites too

In case anyone can’t read the article for whatever reasons, the VPNs acquired are:

ExpressVPN

Private Internet Access

Zenmate

CyberGhost

And the VPN review sites they purchased are:

vpnMentor

Wizcase

So if you use any of those, time to look for other options.

According to a major report by the Associated Press (AP), an Israeli double-tap strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis killed at least 20 people, including five journalists. The first strike hit the hospital’s fourth floor, followed minutes later by another that targeted rescue teams and journalists as they were responding to the initial attack.

The report noted that among the dead was Maryam Daqa, a freelance correspondent for AP, along with journalists from Al Jazeera and Reuters, as well as rescue workers and medical staff.

That's because this is Silmarillion

The upshot of people demanding others put their age in their bio is. Frustrating. And annoying. "What if you're a minor" what if I'm old enough that I was raised not to put my goddamn personal information on the internet. What if that.

I think with the success of Kpop Demon Hunters, every culture should make their own unique magical girls. Make them crazy. Make them unique. Drench them in your culture. I want a buffet.

Make them popstars, make them fashion designers, make them computer coders, museum curators, farmers, gymnasts, florists, boxers, whatever you want.

All girls teams. Solo fighters. Co-ed groups. Frenemies. play around

But definitely let me see your culture. put in stuff americans won't understand. incorporate cultural dress. Make me research your country in a fandom fueled deep dive until 2am.

I want it so bad

Germany's are an all female socker team. Their costumes are all based on Tracht (=traditional dress) from different regions.

They have a union and a Tarifvertrag (=industry wide union contracts) with Frau Holle, who grants them their powers. Tension within the group (called Die Wilde Jagd) come from some of them being workaholics who push for their version of overtime crunch (e.g. training and patrols with the whole team, always) while others are determined to only work what hours are in their contract (and thus e.g. have a complicated system of shifts that accommodates everyone's day jobs). Frau Holle seems to favor the former, warning everyone not to fall into laziness like a former employee of hers.

The main villain is a woman called Marie, with black marks marring her skin and hair.
