- I compared gen ai with the mechanical Turk in a train of thought about 2 years ago. Had no idea how evergreen this analogy would be lol
- Amazon’s convenience has made many people less aware of what’s around them. It’s still possible to find some things locally, especially if you live in or near a city. It’s inconvenient for a bit and takes some time to figure out a network, but small businesses can surprise you!
- Reposted by 🦬 ✨Lots of folks reminding everyone that you can unsubscribe from WaPo the last couple days, but you can also divest from Amazon to whatever degree you feel capable. Some options: —cancel Prime —choose to buy certain items from other retailers when you can —stop shopping at Whole Foods.
- Send Help is a hilarious rebuttal to the “nerdy girl makeover” trope.
- Saw Send Help tonight! There were maybe six people in the whole auditorium but we were all HOWLING and Raimi gave us exactly what we came for.
- Reposted by 🦬 ✨I need all of my British friends to see this.
- Reposted by 🦬 ✨when i was a kid in the 00's, all the nostalgia was focused on the 80's... it's just. crazy to me that we've reached the point where the 00's are now having that nostalgic lens applied to them.
- Reposted by 🦬 ✨Calling up your Dem senators and thanking them for doing this is how you encourage them to hold the line, no matter how low your estimation of them is
- An *actual* graffiti goblin for #goblinweek! Better get under cover buddy!
- I almost participated in a fun art meme, walked it back after seeing the OP be an alt text scold. As someone who *heavily uses alt text*, please don’t be a snide asshole about this. Direct that energy instead to requesting tools that make it easier to write it, like enabling drafts on mobile.

- I’m trying to not feel terrible about tomorrow’s exam. It helps that a random student said my outfit was cute though :>
- Ohhhh what up #Goblinweek

- Not all heroes wear capes; sometimes they wear blue shorts. Also, being a mail carrier is MUCH more dangerous than working for ICE.

- How do people feel about dusting off “nimrod”? The context seems appropriate for certain current events.
- The author disabled quotes.I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one. It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

- RIP 😢
- Reposted by 🦬 ✨Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results https://voteyesornoai.com
- This is so disappointing. Gurney’s blog taught me more about illustration than school ever did. Plus he could draw a better planes map blindfolded, I don’t get why he’s so impressed with this crap.
- Ah, look who it is. Shocking!
- New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...
- Funny, considering we had to drive OVER AN HOUR to the nearest theater playing Frankenstein! It wasn’t even playing in Seattle! Our local art house theater would have loved to show it but #Netflix is a huge pain to deal with 🙄
- All according to keikaku. …Girugamesh.

- Seeing Immortal Bloodline in t-minus forty minutes. Intrigued to get more context!
- Military recruiting is still very hot in schools! Even people like me who are too old get hit up by them: pay close attention when applying to scholarships, some sites share your contacts with the military. Recent changes that make college less affordable will only help drive people into this also.

- Reposted by 🦬 ✨As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.
- Reposted by 🦬 ✨I’m not a big callout guy, but I feel it’s my duty to the community to share that I have several friends who, to this day, are paying the (EXPENSIVE) consequences of working with TaxBadger after he biffed their taxes and then ghosted them. I didn’t know that he was back, so here’s your buyer beware.
- Reposted by 🦬 ✨I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io. While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍 Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest... Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...
- FYI, you *can* take mail to a clerk and request that they postmark it at the counter, but that takes time and not everyone has access to a post office. This is absolutely a way to undermine states with mail-in voting.
