Brian Merchant<p>OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman even made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait.</p><p>Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to the industry's biggest boosters that they have won—that they're free to use, appropriate, and commoditize art however they see fit.</p><p><a href="https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/openais-studio-ghibli-meme-factory" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bloodinthemachine.com/p/openai</span><span class="invisible">s-studio-ghibli-meme-factory</span></a></p>
Andrea Junker :verified:<p>Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.</p>
Jane Lago<p>I had a conversation this afternoon with the director of my regional public library, about Libby. She said that tagging books as Notify Me is what tells her what to buy. Libby notifies her about the requests for books from users, and if any book has more than three requests, she orders it. So using Notify Me is important!!!<br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Libby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Libby</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/PublicLibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicLibraries</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a></p>

Abandoned America<p>A classroom full of lampshades at the abandoned Central Junior High School.

JA Westenberg<p>Snow White didn’t bomb because of Rachel Zegler. </p><p>But it also didn’t bomb because of Gal Gadot. </p><p>It bombed because nobody - absolutely nobody - was even slightly interested in the existence of a live action Snow White movie.</p>
Joy<p>Another sketch in the 642 Things to Draw where I try to inject capybaras where I can!

Rabbit<p>If you are not a US citizen and you are thinking about coming here, please strongly reconsider. I would be concerned for your safety, and to be honest these idiots need to feel the pain of tourism and international business drying up.</p><p>The US has what are effectively secret police snatching up people and disappearing them into a detention system. Some people reemerge in two weeks, some stay in there. </p><p>Don't risk it until something changes. </p><p>Security and hacker conferences and the like should really be considering alternate venues for international audiences, and consider whether they are being held in places queer folks within the US can safely attend.</p>
Boots Chantilly<p>Just look at this handsome young fellow. My son and d-i-l found him hiding under their truck—no tags, no chip. He’s going to make someone such a wonderful best friend. Could it be you? </p><p>He’s house-trained, very affectionate and eager to please, and SO sweet-natured. He’s a very VERY good boi who desperately needs a home & family. ❤️ <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Houston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Houston</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LostDog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LostDog</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LostDogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LostDogsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PleaseBoost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PleaseBoost</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PleaseShareWidely" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PleaseShareWidely</span></a></p>

Chase W. Nelson 倪誠志<p>Much of the Signal discussion is overlooking a key point: an entire apartment building was leveled to kill one guy.</p><p>How many civilians died? Is this a war crime?</p><p>The religious language—“prayer,” “God bless,” “Godspeed to our Warriors”—makes it all the more revolting, like a game of Battleship from the safety of a church basement.</p>

Em :official_verified:<p>We are entering an era of paywalled news where the poor will only be able to afford reading the headlines, and never the articles. </p><p>This isn't gonna help the current state of the world, at all.</p>
Ricki Crush Bandicute Tarr<p>Truth is not an echo chamber, accepting other people who aren't hurting anyone just by existing isn't an echo chamber, kindness isn't an echo chamber.</p><p>I don't need to consider "alternate beliefs" that are just lies. There's this idea that if I'm not constantly reading stuff by straight up Nazis, that I won't understand that they are Nazis. Not having to read nonsense as possible facts is one of the really cool things about having critical thinking skills.</p>
