I know I'm not the only one who misses the days when Amy Rose was a '90s British lesbian.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 
We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 
For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 
Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

In today's update of "String", the urban fantasy webcomic, the chapter ends in a rather more precarious state than when it began.

Rain Draconis isn't a complete neophyte, she did remedial finger-painting back in the village, though crucially her finger-painting never blew things up.

For decades, the Disney Corporation has lobbied to extend copyright law in order to maintain a stranglehold over its most bankable characters, leading to Mickey Mouse not entering public domain in the US for 95 years.
Now ask yourselves a question, why did they stop doing that? Having bent the law to their whims for longer than most of us have been alive, why is Disney now perfectly sanguine about Steamboat Willie entering public domain and allowing any Tom, Dick or Nazi to slap their company mascot onto a crappy horror knock-off and tarnish their image? Answer's obvious really, Mickey doesn't matter to them anymore, they got massive swathes of human culture under their drum for many decades to come.
Also a helpful reminder that while the silent versions of The Gallopin' Gaucho and Plane Crazy are now public domain as well, their sound versions won't be until next year.
Still nuts I can slap this on a t-shirt and sell it in Primark and nobody can stop me. I had tons of fun coming up with the old-timey dialogue.
