People in the comments being all bitter. As if the arts aren’t out here giving you a reprieve from all the shit y'all go through. As if the arts aren’t out here making sure you live a little bit instead of just surviving.
And here’s the kicker - I gave them too much credit. I realized that not even the AI users are credited apparently. Check this out:
“+Human”. No names, no nothing.
I know it’s tempting, but please don’t hate-watch this thing. Numbers equal profit even if the people watching are just doing it to mock. Don’t give Netflix and other studios even more incentive to fire more animators and replace them with machines trained on their work and skill.
Hilarously, the excuse used is ‘there aren’t enough artists’. That’s not true - there are more than enough artists, but the real issue is that no one wants to pay a living wage. Here’s a short video about the reality of animation in Japan.
The biggest winners in this equation at the end of the day are the AI infrastructure owners - owners of Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc. Do not feed this machine, it creates more monopolization of entire industries, raises a powerful few and dehumanizes the rest.
genuinely hope to see the fall of christianity as a global power some day in my lifetime
belief on an individual level, whatever that’s fine, but do not act as if christianity’s influence and doctrine is not a heavy hand behind some of the most evil governmental decisions being wrought upon people at this very moment (anti-trans bills, don’t say gay bills, roe vs. wade repeal, etc)
people who are not christian are being forced to live by christian standards and under christian rules and that isn’t right
If you’re an individual Christian, fine. Believe in your god. I do not wish you dead or gone.
As a power system, as in “a thing that keeps getting into governments” your religion has done some real damage and needs to fucking go.
im gonna be real i do think we need to spend more time as a society encouraging adults to play pretend in structured ways bc what i’m getting from a variety of sources is we all like to make fake shit and pretend to be people we are not
No fr adults would be a lot healthier if their need for play was more easily satisfied. Play is a fundamental human need that does not go away when we exit childhood but it’s treated as childish and frivolous. No bitch that’s how we process our experiences and knowledge and practice emotions of all kinds in a safe space!! Learn how to play again!
i want a live action movie that’s just two hours of this
I love this version of Clark so much
Clark is a sarcastic little shit who has weaponized big city folk’s perception of him as a harmless back country mama’s boy as Clark and takes full advantage of both the “mysterious alien” angle and the “lawful good boyscout” angle of the public’s perception as Kal El. Ma and Pa Kent raised a man who knows how to radiate honesty while subverting the truth for his own protection and is smart enough to play off of everyone’s expectations. Clark is a world class manipulator who can read a room perfectly and knows how to convince everyone he’s totally clueless while getting them to do exactly what he wants. THERE IS A REASON HE AND PEOPLE-SOMEHOW-THINK-I’M-A-STOIC-LONER-DESPITE-MY-RIDICULOUS-SENSE-OF-HUMOR-AND-BROOD-OF-ADOPTEES-BRUCE ARE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. People want to read “good and wholesome” as being mutually exclusive from “clever and fun” and those people write boring or awful Superman stories.
my favorite thing about this post is all the people who chose to use the default icon defending themselves in the notes like no stop it just put a picture up

it makes me so mad people won’t leave this poor kid alone but every single response he shoots off is funnier than if you gave me a week to think of one
Lil nas x is like if bugs bunny were a real person
When I moved to my city, the shitty car I owned immediately died. Luckily, I thought, the apartment we’d moved to had a bus stop right outside and there were bus stops right down the road from my job, and the city’s website even had a convenient little route planner!
4 hours. The trip that took 20 minutes by car would require 4 hours, with multiple changeovers, to do on the bus.
When Americans say “public transportation sucks,” it’s not because we just hate the concept of public transportation; it’s because in most places it exists here, it is deliberately underfunded, underserved, and poorly implemented.
I hate to beg but I recently went back to college and I’m paying super high interest rates for loans because I’m an immigrant and I don’t have a super lengthy credit history.
You might recognize these from edits/pinterest/telegram etc. I made them! So if you’ve ever wanted to support my work, you can share this post around and/or tip me on ko-fi. anything is super appreciated and goes towards my student loans ♡
