so weightwatchers released an app for kids - a diet app for kids (!!!!) down to the age of eight (8) years old.
this is literally an app that is supposed to have children track their food intake, and their energy output, every damn day, with the purpose of them losing weight. it does before and after photos, and uses this system that is a “stoplight system”, so bad foods are red, medium is yellow and good is green.
when you sign up you have to put in your goal and one of the choices is “to make my parents proud”.
this is basically an app designed to shame children, and indoctrinate eating disorders into them.
what the hell is wrong with people????!!!!
also, apparently oprah is supporting this shit so screw her.
i am so damn mad. this is child abuse, and the weightwatchers cult is making money off of it.
What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?
An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:
I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.
Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.
A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)
So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.
here it is, the funniest most absurd line spoken in all of kingdom hearts
Got the BTS dolls V and Jung Kook since they had the closest faces to the characters I'm going to use them for. Ordered them online since I didn't care that much how off the paint placement was but still a little sad I can't salvage much of it. LA's Totally Awesome did a good job getting rid of whatever product was in their hair, tho.
Tried to remove V's face first. Took 20min with a magic eraser just to get that much off his eye. :/ The rest is on the eye surface and underside of the lash line, so I'll just paint over it.
Luckily his lips seemed to only be two paint layers deep, so it took only a few minutes.
Will definitely be getting more of these boys when they go on sale if only for the sculpts alone.
Yeah, terfs found shinigami and are tagging trans people as terfs in hoards, basically destroying the extension. Dunno if it will be fixed.
It’s not possible to break the extension in that way because the criteria for what counts as an anti-trans blog isn’t based solely on user reporting.
From their FAQ:
[Text: Is there a mechanism in place to prevent malicious/fake reports?
Yes. While your overrides are immediately visible to you, changes are included in the publicly visible dataset only if they pass some trustworthiness criteria (including human validation).”]

Got Kay's padding done! The belly is just a bit of a legging and stuffing. Her chest is thin foam padding up top (to "shorten" her neck) and the rest is the same materials as her belly. It's all removable, so if I ever want to take some pictures of Amaya again, I can easily swap everything out.
Unfortunately, the only thing I have that fits her right now is the high-waisted pink dress that's a smidge too small for her chest. I'll take more pictures once I get her different clothes.
Welcome to Kingdom Hearts, where both the clothing and stories are needlessly complicated (no seriously, you’re going to need graphs to understand the story beyond the first game...).
also I feel I should tell you guys that a friend of me persuaded me to watch a playthrough of Kingdom Hearts because I never played it and what the effity
am I enjoying this? I think I am but I am so confused and oh my god why does everything have zips this is amazing
Basically spent the day cleaning heads, since tomorrow will be good face up weather. I'm also going to try Liquitex matte spray sealant and see how it goes. n_n
