I don't usually bring up situations like this but it's terrifying how many black teens and trans people have been going missing and killed this past month, please bring more awareness about this it's a genuine issue that the government doesn't seem to think is important.

If you need to partner with AI to get a greenlight on your project, it ain't worth it. I know it's super frustrating out there rn but nothing makes replacing your peers with automated garbo justified. Nothing. We gotta hold the line on this one or we're f*cked.
Hey, when these AI-slop shows come out.
Don't talk about them.
Don't Watch them.
Don't engage with them
Hell don't even pirate them.
Give THEM NOTHING.
SHOW them we don't want it.
When it releases, SCREAM and SHOW OFF about your favorite indie Show(s) instead!
So far AI has:
• destroyed the prices of personal electronics
• have data centers relocate people from homes and contaminate water supplies
• destroy the concept of objective reality with Gen AI
• layoff off thousands from jobs
Oh, but it’s the future guys!
Just a reminder: Two of the best animated films of this decade, The Mitchells vs. the Machines and Nimona, both include LGBTQ representation done naturally and effectively, with Katie Mitchell from The Mitchells being canonically queer and Nimona centering a same-sex relationship between Ballister and Ambrosius, and both films were critically acclaimed, widely loved by critics and audiences, and received major awards recognition because they’re genuinely strong, creative, and emotionally resonant stories. Undoubtedly better storytelling than these two Mario movies
Who could’ve thought that you can include representation in such a sincere and honest way when the writing actually cares about its characters in an animated film?
Mexico just approved a law that generative AI can't be used for voice acting. It must be performed by humans.
Furthermore it protects against AI misuse of voices!
