Gonna need one'o those "I'm slowly forgetting your face" edits/animations but it's Pokopia Ditto and their trainer
hey guys it's time for me to shill for ComicFury again
ever think Man, I want to support artists but I can't afford to be on 60 different Patreons and fifty separate ko-fi subs?
well, you can support ComicFury at Patreon or Kofi instead and through a single donation support the actual hundreds of comic artists hosting there!
ComicFury is one of the only old school webcomic hosting sites still active, with seventeen years of putting its actual community of artists first, including such rarities as a no-ai policy and an active healthy forum with fair and clear moderation.
It's grown a lot in the past year and so needs have grown alongside it, so here I am doing the PBS Style donation drive post, lmao.
Here's Kyo's forum post about it since he's got a fairly concise explanation of what he's hoping to do from here (he didn't ask me to make this post, you can see me on page 4 saying I'll make it unsolicited).
Keep in mind this ask is only if you're in a position to support artists and have been wanting to, but ComicFury has been my comics home for years now and I'd like to see it continue to thrive, especially in the current environment of exploitation, censorship, and other abuse webcomickers have to deal with on other platforms. (because guess what, you can show violence and/or tiddy AND swear all you want on ComicFury as long as you properly rate your comic for it.)

Obviously Tumblr isn't going to let me blaze this post because it never does, lmao, so reblogs are appreciated!
Rene Magritte: The Glass Key (1959)
Being a very poor painter, Magritte's works seldom resembled what he intended them to. This attempt at a glass key ended up looking like a rock in a mountain landscape.
Other mispainted works included his attempt at a self portrait, which looked like a slice of ham with an eyeball; his painting "Heartstrings" which resembled a cloud in a glass; and perhaps his most famous failure, "This is Not a Pipe," which sadly very clearly showed a pipe.

no more assumptions that antagonistic/flawed character traits = author endorses these things.....
has anyone read a book or watched a movie before
I'm watching multiple comics and fics have to go dark or private on patreon because of this bs.
I'm working on my own webcomic right now, and I am scared to do so.
99% of the time these people are working for free around busy schedules and have lives to live. They don't owe you shit, and you need to have basic reading comprehension abilities before opening your mouth.
No one who writes these things actually condones them, grow up.
Big challenges

much love to ‘i love my blorbo but they did all that’ but there should be a new category of ‘i love my blorbo but they were written by someone with transparent but unspoken biases and you gotta understand that context’
I am a huge fan of retiring to my quarters

crazy how every time a female character gets cliche misogynistic writing we have to explain to people again that fictional characters are not real and do not choose things for themselves.
it’s really this at the end of the day tbh

Hey do y’all remember when Boeing fucking killed a guy last year. And we all said “huh I guess Boeing fucking killed a guy” and then went on with our lives. And everybody knew that Boeing had fully just fucking executed a guy and nothing came of it. Like there was no police investigation no justice no nothing. Like literally EVERYBODY knew that Boeing had full on murdered a guy to silence him and there wasn’t any consequences for them. Kinda crazy.
and there was even less talk when openai did the exact same thing more recently
So for those who are, very understandably uninitiated on this story:
On 23 October last year (2024) the New York Times published an interview with former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji who worked on organising and gathering data for OpenAI until 2022 when he begun thinking about the morality of it. He eventually came to the conclusion that what OpenAI is doing blatantly violates copyright law and decided to leave the company altogether in August 2024.
After he came out with this accusation he was set to appear in court to testify against OpenAI’s data-gathering practices, something which had the potential of being a complete disaster for the company and the generative AI industry as a whole.
That was until 26 November, just days before he was due to appear in court, when he suddenly and mysteriously was found dead inside his own apartment. Investigators concluded that the death was self-inflicted, something which his family has disputed.
There was also “sign of struggle in the bathroom and looks like someone hit him in the bathroom based on blood spots”, and his apartment showed signs of having been ransacked for evidence: “The pin drive is missing. His computer was messed up.”.
Overall it feels pretty clear-cut what happened, that is to say that OpenAI had him killed because he was a legitimate threat to their business, indicating that they are fully aware that the way they’re gathering data is completely illegal.

For those of you who don't know about the Boeing case, a whistleblower named John Barnett was found dead in the middle of his deposition: https://www.qcnews.com/news/boeing-whistleblower-set-to-testify-is-found-shot-to-death/
And there actually was an investigation, but it concluded that it was suicide: https://apnews.com/article/boeing-whistleblower-suicide-9fe771a97c5745b9c53f24c04141e474
It is possible that it was suicide (which doesn't make Boeing look any better, obviously), but I wouldn't be surprised if the "surveillance footage" was doctored in some way, especially since another Boeing whistleblower, Joshua Dean, also died after he testified: https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/05/07/boeing-whistleblower-deaths/
That being said, the deaths motivated even more whistleblowers to come forward against Boeing: https://fortune.com/2024/05/09/more-boeing-whistleblowers-emerge-law-firm/
Hopefully Suchir Balaji's story will have a similar effect, especially with all the evidence pointing to assassination.
