オカモモ kawaii… draft manga

love how momo and okarun's dynamic as of episode 5 is momo being like "if you confront me about my feelings about ken okarun I will fling myself off the nearest cliff but also if you hurt him I will skin you alive" and okarun being like "wow my first friend!!! 🥰🥰🥰☺️☺️ I wanna treasure her forever. If she doesn't talk to me I'll kill myself"

They're so pookies I love them <33

gotta love how Germany's giving citizenship to asylum seekers who enlist to fight for Israel. absolutely genocidal behaviour

Link

I think this might be worse than the original post even says -- it doesn't sound like they're giving German citizenship to these asylum seekers at all, but rather trying to recruit asylum seekers who are in Germany and send them to Israel (where they may get citizenship on the condition that they enlist). It seems from this article that they're doing this as a way to legally expel these asylum seekers from Germany without giving them even the rights that asylum seekers are entitled to, much less give them citizenship.

germany not beating the nazi allegations jesus fucking chirst

HOBBES vs. TIGGER cage match TO THE DEATH say goodbye to your childhood because ONE! WILL!! DIE!!!!

Picturing two tiger plushies just kind of sitting there facing each other in Thunderdome

i am picturing it

Hobbes and Tigger would find some aspect of tigerhood to bond over, but Calvin would put Christopher Robin in the ground.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is not untalented but he shouldn't be making billion dollar disney movies or whatever. This guy should be in a garage making deeply earnest but unpolished rap opera concept albums and posting them online for a niche fanbase of no more than 100,000 too-online theatre nerds. Hiring him to make forgettable paint-by-numbers radio friendly disney princess pop is trying to raise devil's pupfish in captivity. You have to stop giving him money and let him go make cringe in his natural habitat or you're never going to get anything good.

Cringe is a vital nutritional supplement in the ecology of people like him, and if you don't provide an environment that offers it, his body will be forced to manufacture the cringe itself and that's not good for the product or for him

Thank you everyone who got me to 5 reblogs!

this is the funniest possible post for this feature to bug out and proc on.

uhoh.

Readers are gonna go feral when they read the chapter of Child of a Wandering Star that I just wrote.

I'm trying to make Wandering Star a fairly short book. Will I succeed? Unknown.

Time To Completion: Unknown

Folks with this whole "you're old once you hit 25" mentality are just buying into a repackaged "you need to have your life figured out by 18 and if you're not successful by 22 you're a failure" load of shit. Like....bruh, life doesn't end at 25. Idk how to tell you that the time limit you're silently imposing on yourself and your peers is largely responsible for your dissatisfaction with your life. Stop living your life like happiness has an expiration date. It doesn't.

I thought I was going to hit 30 like the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, and I didn't, everything was fine, but try as I might I can't stop feeling the same way about 35.

DORIYA!!!!!

I’m not usually one to hop (haha) onto the meme train but I found that comic absolutely delightful.

This sent a very real chill down my spine

this is scarier than any david lynch film

Rage. In my heart. All-consuming. FUCK AI.

For those who don't know, this piece is titled 'Unfinished Painting', by Keith Haring. He painted it about a year before his death of AIDs. I believe he actually finished other pieces between this one and his death. He left the majority of the canvas blank to represent his life and art career cut short due to HIV/AIDs. This was a deliberate choice and commentary about all that we lose (both personally and culturally) by ignoring the AIDs crisis at the time (1989). He was devastated he didn't have time to make more art. 'Finishing' Unfinished Painting is straight up spitting on Haring's grave and shows no understanding to the meaning behind the art. The AI interpretation doesn't even follow his extremely recognizable shape language and symbols. This is why people are angry about AI art. All commerce images and no meaning or humanity

The purpose of that tweet was pointing out how stupid AI is. It was a series of tweets sarcastically "completing" art to demonstrate how fucking stupid and empty that is and how it often robs the art of its point. It's making fun of AI bros. You're getting mad at a cherry-picked half-joke taken out of context to create a scenario that didn't exist. There's no one to be mad at here.

This is like if I put on a clown outfit and climbed into a cardboard box and said "Oooh, I'm a big man, vroom vroom, look at me in my cool Tesla Cybertruck, the most serious of hardcore trucks!" and honked my clown nose and then somebody just posted the part where I said "Look at me in my cool Tesla Cybertruck" with no context and everyone got really mad online fuming "I cannot BELIEVE that Derin bought a cybertruck!"

Sufficiently advanced extremism is indistinguishable from parody. There is nothing in the content or presentation of the tweet itself to indicate that its OP is not an AI bro.

Meanwhile the cardboard clown car is obviously a cardboard clown car.

No, in the context of the series of tweets it was very clear what the message was. Cherry picking this part and pretending it's complete to give the impression that it's serious would indeed be like cherry picking that one phrase and omitting the cardboard and clown outfit to give the impression that the cybertruck statement is serious. Did you read the original tweet series or are you just assuming that the joke couldn't have been clear?

That's why it fucking sucks that people take things and jokes OUT OF CONTEXT. It's rage bait.

Sometimes it's on purpose, sometimes it's just lack of care.

Context. matters.

Exactly!
