Like many technologies, AI is designed to kill humans, but in the most soulless way possible, stripping away even our ability to own and express our pain.

Bertolt Brecht: "In the dark times, will there also be singing?
Yes, there will be singing, about the dark times.”

AI: NOT SO FAST

Chris Smalls is your constituent and a maker of good trouble. Please take all the action you can to protect him, including a press conference to demand his safety and release. The world is watching.

My 5yo just said “fast-backward” instead of “rewind” bc he doesn’t know what that is

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

telling people to leave the beach because there's a tsunami advisory: pier pressure

it is now everyone's responsibility to bring this to the USA, please accept this mission I'm begging you

The fact that they are finally releasing some aid just because of a little bit of pressure proves that we always had the power to stop this and every single person with any power simply chose not to. Don’t forget.

“I told you so” is a petty, fairly useless sentiment except with fucking genocide, climate destruction and bogus reasons for invading a country.

Then it needs to be “We told you so, so now you have to not be treated with any seriousness ever again.”

Change your vocabulary and stop using the language of the predator.

1. Underage woman = child
2. Sex scandal (involving children) = rape
3. Sex with child = child rape
4. Sex trafficking = rape trafficking
5. Pedophile = child rapist

Love that they are figuring it out, but this is a great big “duh” for me.

The prevailing narrative around women’s emotional strength is also a distraction from this truth.

Ever been to a hot pilates class? Watch the women and then watch the men. Better yet, watch a man try to take a barre class.

RIP H.R. Giger you wolde have lovid Labubu

thyss iss kyllynge meeee

whoa he fully fucking dies of heartbreak at the end? this part i forgot

wow the absolute horror of waking up in 1979 it does seem bad

am wowed by the sense of love being a departure from the designated track no matter how fated it is

these bizarre little throwaway lines - “is it you?”, “oh my god what’s happening” - are ending me and they’re also giving a level of matrix-breakage

and yeah i just can’t reiterate enough how certifiably bananas this mc man is

okay i’m not proud of putting it this way but here is a movie that will FORCE you to put down your phone and focus. the scene where he first sees her by the lake? “is it you?” “yes.” holy shit

3. romantic experiences can permanently derail/disable your life. we’re not supposed to admit this anymore, and yet.

1. a sense of presence can be fully transmitted through objects and images. this is an ancient idea and today it is very deeply strange

2. love will make you lose your fucking mind completely. i mean, i realize this guy is a playwright and we are imaginative AF but he has lost it

Reeves makes it all work bc his earnestness levels are off-chart, and the whole movie hangs on this because it is asserting, very earnestly, some wild things that i think a lot of us in the post-cringe post-app world have forgotten

I remember it being one of the most UltraRomantic movies in the whole world and so far there’s a lot to support this distinction

Christopher Reeves is surfacing due to the new #Superman movie, so I’m watching “Somewhere in Time”, which I’ve seen but only maybe once
