Honestly, this is what makes the 18th so fascinating to me. It's the time period where all the underpinnings of modern Western culture coalesce into a recognizable form.

As ever, I appreciate Brandon preaching the good word of "military history doesn't exist in a vacuum, learn some social history too dammit".

Hey! Today is the last day Inprnt is running its 15% sale on prints. I've added a large number of options to my shop, including the majority of my Warcraft in-game paintings and a selection of other studies and illustrations I like :3

I'm too tired to fully dissect this, but I want to point out that the underlined text is nearly boilerplate for any social media site. It very specifically states you are giving them a license, not full ownership rights. This, in practice, is what allows a site to allow content to be reblogged/retweeted/shared/etc.

Tumblr's Terms of Service shares similar language (though their ToS later goes on to put it in more plain language which is always great!)

The privacy policy does specifically call out using user data to train AI, but that is in reference to the data they collect from you which is typically focused more on when/where you are using the platform and how you interact with content. It's more along the lines of "oh you like work from User A and we are using this data (in conjunction with the data of other users that like User A's work) to suggest you follow User B."

tl;dr the underlined text in OP's post isn't what is problematic. There very well may be other areas of the ToS that could raise concerns, I haven't reviewed it all. But the important takeaway here is a license is not giving away all rights you have in your posted intellectual property. The privacy policy is also worth a read, as it outlines what can be used to train AI, and it likely isn't as concerning as it sounds

If you want a quick run-down on some of the more concerning aspects of the ToS I suggest tosdr.org

Watch Elon Crust being the worst human alive:

Translation:

Everything (including art, writing etc.) you post on Twitter ("X") after 29. September belongs to Elon Musk and you lose rights over it.

(That means they can feed it to AI, change, publish and sell it without your consent.)

If you have friends who post their ART, WRITING, PICTURES (etc.) or other creative, self-made projects on twitter, please tell them.

“Dear little chap!” said Holmes, strategically. “What a rosy-cheeked young rascal! Now, Jack, is there anything you would like?” The youth pondered for a moment. “I'd like a shillin',” said he. “Nothing you would like better?” “I'd like two shillin' better,” the prodigy answered, after some thought. “Here you are, then! Catch!—A fine child, Mrs. Smith!”

What a dear little chap indeed. Sherlock Holmes interacting with children is very endearing

Also just shillin this game a bit, a Zelda-like called Horn Of Balance, if you loved Zelda Link to the Past, this game takes a lot of cues and inspiration from it. They recently launched a Kickstarter for it, only got 10 days left and still got a fair bit to go, really deserves some more love, they certainly put a lot of love into this, and hope it meets the goal.

Give this a try and share around, folks!

A FARAWAY CITY Hello, Taipei

I would like to believe that life is only worth it if you collect memories that you would carry with you as you leave this world someday. A future nostalgia as you age, and a supercut that will play during your very last breath. Sometimes I think about dying with a smile knowing that I have done it all — but that is still a constant goal right now. And I am really convinced that this memory is one I would remember for always.

I have spent four amazing days in Taiwan with Wence, the boy who’s been pulling my heartstrings for almost a decade now. And oh heavens, it was my first time to travel out of the country and I wouldn’t do it any other way. It was a beautiful core memory to carry with me although at times I still feel like it was only just a dream. It was also an awakening, that life is bigger than you could ever imagine and I am just a dot in this incredible planet.

The Supercut: Hotel overnight. Airport stories. Red-eye flight. Taiwan touchdown. Subway train rides. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. Bopiliao Historical Block. 7 Eleven snacks. Ximending walks. Red House x DVD stalls. Met Jai Hang. Blue hour mornings. Coaster Bus rides. York as our tour guide. Met our kabayan, Athena. Yehliu Geopark. Shuinandong Smelter x Golden Blue Sea. Golden Waterfalls. The mystic Jiufen Old Street. Shifen Station. Sundown bus ride and realizing I was happy. Shillin Market. Photobooth moments with Wence. Bought charms and crystals. Warm hotel nights with Wence. U-Bike moments. Din Tai Fung x Taipei 101. Fell in love with Da’an District’s Jinhua and Qingtian Streets. Train to Tamsui. Biking x Sunset Watching at Tamsui. Spa night. Biking x midnight snacks at the hotel. Fong Da Coffee. Longshan Temple. Spent the afternoon biking around CKS Park. Luggage shenanigans. Streetside Noodles for dinner. Train ride back to airport. Another red-eye flight, but every little thing was so worth it.

For someone like me who thought his heart was hardened by life’s mishaps and shits, these moments remind me that there are still a lot of things to look forward to, a lot of experiences to warm your core, and that cliché statement is nothing but true: Happiness really starts from within. I have come to realize that I never want to lose that sense of wonder, to discover more and understand life better.

At this moment, I still think about how life isn’t really perfect after all, that I still might duel with sadness in the future. But let me just capture this feeling for a little while. It may be simple for others but let me just dive into this memory a little longer. For one day I’ll get older and I’ll reminisce those days when I felt genuinely happy.

*bangs fist on table* I KNOW THAT BRANDON F. KNOWS A LOT OF HIS VIEWERS ARE BROKE-ASS STUDENTS BUT HE NEEDS TO BE CHARGING MORE FOR AN ACADEMIC ANTHOLOGY LIKE THIS!

If this actually ships in April I'll eat my hat (it will almost certainly not) but even with the potential delays a pre-order pay-what-you-can starting price of $15 is ridiculous bargain-basement cheap and I'm worried about whether he's actually going to successfully fund this for publication. So I really hope people pre-order, dear God...

For the love of-

As an absolutely die-hard One Piece fan who has watched who KNOWS how many episodes, whatever Tumblr is doing ain't it.

I was McFuckin' happy to just let the live action thing die and not be a thing in my periphery. Now I keep getting all this intrusive Tumblr shillin' for it.

Y'all, I promise, as a fan, I definitely don't claim this shit, my g o d

Is this what they meant by Tumblr being a hellsite?
