Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!

I'll venmo you $100 to change your username so that it's not making fun of a real black man.

? i love karl malone

i'd gladly take your $100 but i don't really feel like sharing my venmo with you

are you a friend of the guy who is anti-braggadocio

no way! that guy's a dork. I've already got your venmo and was trying to send the moneys a minute ago but my bank account's not verified but I'm working on it.

I don't mean it as any sort of a personal challenge, you're a good poster, I'm just wondering if there's more for sale here than paintings cause I did find myself pondering the irony of Karl's name showing up in racially-charged threads.

i hope i bring only good fortune to karl malone. i just like the idea of people encountering posts by a famous awesome guy

no one else has ever mentioned that, and i haven't thought of it, but if others are bothered i change it tonight

^would

you should just send the $100 directly here and save me a step: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd

I hear ya. but I'll be honest... I'm actually the real Karl Anthony Malone. and although I stay very busy with my successful Utah-based car dealerships and my Louisiana-based Arby's restaurant franchise, I've just been sort of sensitive about people making fun of me ever since Jimmy Kimmel repeatedly did that whole blackface bit thing on national TV.

you've been posting under that name since february. who were you before that?

have you thought about making a 100-gif magnum opus where each gif is its own individual animation, but when placed in a specific order on a 10 x 10 grid so that they form a mega-gif?

I have! Not 100 (10x10) gifs, exactly, but I've wanted to do a really big one with dozens of different pieces that fit together. The problem has just been hosting. Tumblr can't handle animated images wider than 500 pixels, let alone a megasaur gif combo. And my old barrylutz space wouldn't accommodate it well, either. And of course on ILX it wouldn't work (I think on some stylesheets it might look ok but I'm not sure, and in any case most people wouldn't be using the correct stylesheet and it would look different on everyone's monitors, etc)

hm.. how's about the next 9 requests you get, try to configure it so that you can put them into a 3x3 brady-bunch style one?
you could do it as a table like:

<table>
<tr><td>1.gif</td><td>2.gif</td><td>3.gif</td></tr>
<tr><td>4.gif</td><td>5.gif</td><td>6.gif</td></tr>
<tr><td>7.gif</td><td>8.gif</td><td>9.gif</td></tr>
</table>

with the img src etc...
i guess that would mean each gif would have to have the same proportions and same number of frames.
haha sorry this would probably be much more work than fun.

man, now i'm reminded of fucking boingboing. my day is ruined

warning: the images in this thread are 993MB. god knows (OUR GOD IS A MIGHT GOD!) what it would be if all the old tinypic and photobucket images still worked. so warning: do not load the complete thread. i should probably post this every 40 posts or so, right?

super cool km

hey, can i throw out another idea that involves asking people (non-ilxors too) to donate money to an org?

in this case it would be the National Lawyers Guild (https://www.nlg.org/donate/). they are amazing and have been helping not just protesters with their legal issues, but also the immigrant community, people of color, LGBTQ+, etc. we've been working with several of NLG's staff recently and they are all really inspiring people.

the problem that no one even knew existed: when i ragequit my tumblr and instagram because my dad's a racist, a few years ago, i lost a lot of "followers" that i used to have back in the day. i thought i'd eventually get them back, but i underestimated how much i lack the enthusiasm to "get myself out there" upon my stabilization from or inside of *tim rogers voiceover* DEPRESSION. why am i typing this?

the solution you thought i'd never get to: what if i bundled together all of my tumblr-era images (just downloaded them all in bulk) i could put the whole thing on a thumb drive and package it in some new cheap-ass container and send it to people in return for donating money to a NLG fundraiser page (either one that already exists, or one i set up)? i'm not sure what the price would be, but i would probably set it at name your price, minimum of my supply costs (5GB thumbdrives bought in bulk and a cheap diy case for it, cheap as possible) + shipping, so probably like $15 or $20 minimum? and probably a lot of people would pay more?

i don't think too many of the teen goths who used to follow me on tumblr are following me on twitter or instagram these days. but there might be enough to sell at least 20 or 30 of these packages, on the low end. and then on the other end, maybe some nice will respond to my PR exertions and give me a write-up, and a lot of other people will buy it too. am i just high again? what do you all think?

oh god, i just thought of copyright. i've never had a problem because "i am an artist" and i'm not making any money. the only people making money are the corporations that own the platforms and image hosting services, and no one is coming after them, lol.

but if i do sell these as a charitable fundraiser, they can't go after me either, right? although these days i usually make most of the source elements myself, during the tumblr days i frequently copied and pasted from aaaalll sorts of shit

actually, it wouldn't be a charitable donation. from nlg's website:

Gifts to the National Lawyers Guild are not tax deductible for federal income tax purposes as charitable contributions. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution to support the National Lawyers Guild, please donate to the National Lawyers Guild Foundation by clicking on this link.

shit, am i going to jail now? this thread has just gotten worse and worse

Didn't BoingBoing once rip you off w/ a gif and steal it or something? (it's in this thread somewhere but I'm forewarned and will not load all 993mb of it)

Because - boing - this is what - boing - revenge should - boing - be like!

i have made a new boing post, and i hope you all go there and reply "boing"

Hi everyone. This is a GIF titled boingboing.gif. For every reply that says simply "boing", I will donate $1 to the amazing National Lawyers Guild, which works to defend #BLM protesters, immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ+ persons ,and others. (Cap $1K, I'm not rich). Please RT pic.twitter.com/eH5Oma6SBM

(this is the part of the fundraiser that covers the amount of money i can donate)

Didn't BoingBoing once rip you off w/ a gif and steal it or something?

they did it multiple times! and each time, all i asked for was that they'd put my name under it, and each time they profusely apologized **and then removed the image**

then a few months later, there it is again. it was one of the trump ones.

y'all please boing me here.

not to get into depressing stuff, but i don't know which way is up or down any more. i don't know what i'm doing. i've tried to succeed in art, i've fallen down the stairs, i have stumbled around in depression for years, i've gotten back up again, i have turned into a chumbawumba song, i've tried to give my stuff away for fre, now i'm asking people to make me donate $1 to one of the best organizations i've ever worked with by replying "boing" on a fucking tweet

xp THANKS for your boing LBI! <3

I thought I'd remembered that correctly. Those bastids.

You are a prince for doing the donating thing <3

Whoa you saw it before I tweeted it basically! :-D

xp

i guess the nice part is that even if this is yet another failed effort, i will just say "FUCKING TYPE BOING ONE TIME AND I'LL DONATE THE OTHER $990 FOR CRISSAKE"

sorry to lol at my own pun, but the golden girls part of it came to me at the very end and i think i'm going to add it to every reply now

+$1
($7 total)

thank YOU for boinging, my friend <3

— Z_S (@weinventyou) June 8, 2020

thank you all. it's taking off now i think. :)

thanks to a very generous donation from an ilxor, the matched donations beyond my own are up to $900+ now!

and thanks to another generous donation from ANOTHER ilxor, my own personal spending cap is now bumped up from $1000 to $1100. on the off chance that elon musk wants to match whatever i donate, this will be a big help, so if anyone wants to add to that, let me know!

I didn't contact National Lawyers Guild or anything, so they're probably a little freaked out about me if they see this on twitter or instagram. sorry, i mean well NLG (they read this, right)?

hi KM, do you have any spare time these days for freelance design stuff ? either charitable efforts or for $ ? i've got a small, relatively simple idea that i don't exactly know how to execute and was wondering if you'd at least hear me out and see if it's feasible, or maybe point me in the right direction. think you have my email, otherwise ILX mail is cool, thanks and sorry if this is an intrusion

hey budo, no problem at all! i'll send you an email later tonight.
