country queer ≡ 28 y/o artist ≡ Chickasaw ≡ they/he trans masc butch ≡ ♓☀️♈🌙♍🌟 I run a small farm with my partner and I'm working on The Queer West, a gay cowboy tarot deck. I like cowboys and livestock and queer history!

i see a convo w a character ai and i keep scrolling

listen im seeing tags about people agreeing that ai bots can be really inaccurate and i want to point out that this is NOT about that. the ai bot can be as accurate as you want it to be i still get mad at em.

its not about how good they do at emulating a character, its about that they aren’t a person making creative choices and i hate that. i want to enjoy my characters with other people. hold my hand and tell me all about why you think your blorbo is autistic or likes your favourite shitty band. i love you. if a bot randomly shuffles those opinions out idc if theyre even the same ones im exploding it with my mind.

What’s the point of loving content if I know there isn’t someone as obsessively fucked up as me sitting on the other side of the internet

smoked a joint the sorcerer gave me and experienced life as a 1989 toyota tercel from assembly and production until i was left derelict in a junkyard in baker california oxidizing and rusting for 10,000 years. my favorite part was five hundred years in when a family of armadillos moved in for a few weeks

Can't let British people have air conditioning because first they'd call it something twee like "the climate fixer" and then in 20 years they'll call it "the climb" or "the climmy"

French kids would call it "le climot", frustrating language officials who would prefer they call it "machine pour le contrôle du climat froide à l'interieure de l'édifice"

I pointed this out in a Discord server I'm in and thought Id share here:

Bob Iger announced that Disney is going to absorb Hulu, and Hulu will no longer exist next year. All shows will move to the Disney+ app.

Disney also announced they were going to remove shows and movies periodically from their streaming services.

I believe both of these moves are because of the Writers Strike.

Disney knows its going to lose the strike. There is too much public support. Specifically, the WGA is going to win writers getting more residuals from streaming.

So if Disney takes shows off of streaming, they dont have to pay the writers the residuals.

They are going to use excuses like "not enough funding for the server capacity" or "not enough views to warrent keeping the show". These are BULLSHIT. Its all greed. Its only GREED.

Pay attention to what happens in the following weeks.

And keep supporting the writers' strike.

This is similar to what happened with HBO - new owners merged two streaming services, and all of a sudden there wasn't enough server capacity for all the shows somehow. A total lie.

Cancel at three seasons so no one gets a raise, remove at 3 years for tax purposes. No DVDs. No physical copies anywhere. No syndication. Just gone.

Also watch for Disney cancelling Hulu shows and then resurrecting them at D+, which they did with DAREDEVIL (Netflix). Everyone starting at S1 rates, even though it's going to be S4.

(Netflix has run a variation of this for years. Notice the music on shows like FRIENDS and DAWSON'S CREEK, and you'll find that the 90s hits have been replaced. So they don't have to pay the license again.)
