Not to be dramatic but the whole AI art debacle has really brought home to me that mainstream audiences are so fundamentally indifferent to the ethics of how art is created. It makes me feel like people just want to shove their faces full of mindless generic content and don’t care about the ethics of where that content comes from. Sometimes it feels like—- like people really care more about fictional characters and the prettiness of cartoon anime girls than they do about the lives of the real human beings who actually labor to create the things they enjoy.

Does anyone remember the name of the tumblr artist who had a really Don Bluth/90s Disney -like art style, and who always drew themselves as this tall, lanky skinny figure with dark bags under their eyes and long-fingered expressive hands, every single character design detail just OOZING that extremely clear and distinct "90s cartoon queercoded villain" vibe.

TIL of a colony of ants with no queen, no males and no offspring, comprised entirely of non-reproductive females, that live in a disused nuclear bunker in Poland. The colony is supplemented by ants falling through holes in the ventilation which cannot escape.
