Ultrakill secret santa gift for @sillaycircuitry

I hope you enjoy it! Originally I had a two minute animatic planned out (which I'm still working on!) so the rest of my gift won't be here for a while. I hope this snippet from it is enough for now though. Merry Christmas!

Motaz posted a 22 minute video and here’s the takeaways:

- north Gaza is being heavily bombed. There are estimates say one person is killed every five (5) minutes.

- new massacre in jabalia, many killed with no media coverage (2 journalists were injured this morning.)

- no connection or food in the north, no food, only aid since the last pause

- Motaz has not showered for six days and others haven’t showered for weeks

- in two days, one Israeli drone came to Motaz’s home (and other houses) and it was able to kill and shoot

- there’s no food

- “you are waiting to die. This is what Gazans still alive now do. You are waiting to be killed,”

- everyday it gets worse

- aid does enter Gaza, but it is not enough. Israel won’t let a large amount enter.

- “you can’t help us, I’m sorry you can’t help us, you can’t do anything”

- he denied an interview from CNN since he does not want to be judged by people.

- “if you are human, you will share the videos, but don’t tell us you did something for us.”

- he works for UNRWAUSA, and those are the only people he trusts.

- people have been blaming him for not “doing enough/sharing enough”

- one thing in Arabic he says is “The death of Palestinians is easier than drinking water.”

⚠️ Fandom is Moving Forward with Generative AI ⚠️

As of December 15, Fandom has announced their plans to continue using AI to "enhance" their articles.

In short, they claim to have primarily used AI to

Scan images for "appropriateness" (be that NSFW content or just fitting in with the theme of the show), which still involves scraping tons of images and comparing them to a potentially unethically sourced database. As with all machine learning using images, it is still wildly inaccurate.

Optimizing edits - something they admit is still severely lacking because it can't read tables or variants on simple things like "birthday"

Optimizing SEO - this is clearly what they care most about, since Google likes the "Quick Answers" - as shitty as they were - this means they can continue to dominate the search results and gain more ad revenue.

This is a good time to remember that Fandom is a for-profit company with inverstors, which means their end goal is always to make the most money possible. They don't care about "The Fans" (despite the lip service), and they don't care about the authenticity of user-generated content if they can figure out how to automate the process.

STOP USING FANDOM.

Alternatives/Workarounds:

Indie Wiki Buddy is an extension that will redirect you to non-Fandom versions of wikis if it's in their database.

BreezeWiki displays all Fandom wikis in a clean, ad-free format with just the article content (no links to their forums, autoplay videos, etc)

If you must use Fandom, install UBlock Origin. It's available on all desktop browsers and Firefox Mobile. Hit them where it hurts. And encourage the wiki teams to leave Fandom if they can.

Also, be sure to support independent wikis! You can disable adblockers while on their sites, as they usually have much less obtrusive ads which directly fund server maintenance rather than CEO salaries. Change links on your posts/pages to direct to non-Fandom Wikis (even wiki.gg is better).

Keep information free from corporatization.

Silly thing

[stitchbuggies]

I saw pill bugs on here a few weeks ago and really wanted to make my own! The pattern is a bit rough but I hope it works (I tried to get it perfect for like a week before calling it good enough).

Just print out (or copy from a screen) the first page and cut out the pattern pieces. Hopefully the pictures on page two will help but if not I will do my best to answer any questions!

Hope you enjoy and make your own lil isopod friend!

If anyone makes this, I would love to see pictures 💕

[cosmocatart]

will definitely be using this to make my bf a little pill bug < < very cute!!

people with siblings: how do you feel about them?

[cosmocatart]

I have mixed feelings about him. He’s fun to talk to sometimes and generally if we’re not talking too deep about things we get along. Hard to talk about politics or stuff since we can disagree on things ofc, but we’re generally respectful of one another and don’t invalidate the other’s point. He vents to me a lot and sometimes I vent to him. So we have that going. I’d say I’m the one person he truly opens up to. Sometimes he annoys me though, but most siblings do that anyway. He sometimes bothers me because he’s bored but it’s not like he’s coming in to my room and randomly saying “balls” to insult me. He’s actually really cool we just have varying interests sometimes. But he does listen and I listen to him. When we’re together and things happen at family gatherings or something and I’m there to defend him, you bet your ass I ain’t gonna let that slide. He’s my brother, my younger sibling and family member, I have this urge to protect him even when he can hardly relate to me. I actually ended up facing my stepmom and dad who, mind you, scare the shit out of me, but I did it because they were making him cry. I had an anxiety attack afterwards but I had to help him out. He’s my brother, and even if he’s wrong, or annoying, he’s not a bad person. He’s a great guy, and I’m honestly glad I’m not an only child. When I’ve been at my worst, I tell myself to keep going for him. Be the role model he needs to see. And so I do. I need to at least keep going until he’s old enough to be on his own. I’m grateful for him. He’s the one guy I can relate to, the closest person to me. He was there for as long as I can remember. The one person I’ve always been able to talk to. Even if he doesn’t care, he’ll listen. Even if I don’t care, I’ll listen. It’s a complicated thing but really what it boils down to is someone who understands. Someone who knows you well enough that often times you don’t need to say anything. You just know after being around them for so long. And I think that’s a beautiful thing.
