btw just in case anyone needs an example: this is a transmedicalist

Also Harry Potter adults really ought to be ostracised and I mean that with my whole chest because if you can casually support it then that means you’re cool with supporting its creator against trans folks so please go house sort yourself into a bin where you belong.

Writing an email? How about some AI help?

Sending a DM on Instagram? Let Meta imagine that for you with AI.

Reading a book? AI can give you the five most salient points?

Calling your family? AI can listen in and summarize for you.

Don’t want to use AI? Please please please please please plea

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

CHOTINER: So this movie, you already had it on bluray?
ME: That's correct.
CHOTINER: And you've bought it again.
ME: Not exactly. I bought a 4K bluray of it.
CHOTINER: Superior?
ME: Yes.
CHOTINER: Perceptibly superior?
ME: The resolution is...look, on an OLED-
CHOTINER: Do you have an OLED?

It's not a ceasefire if they're sending air attacks. What is wrong with everyone

This averages out at a violation roughly every four hours, around the clock, continuously since 10 October. At what point do we stop calling it a ceasefire when Israel has just literally not ceased firing

Your help are an investment in rebuild a woman and an architect My name is Alaa, and I hold a Master’s degree in Architecture.

Bombs are falling again in Gaza. Alaa is in the area where the bombing is heaviest. 45 people have been martyred. They are restarting the war with even less international attention. Please if you can support Alaa, she used what little internet she had to tell me this news and ask me to spread it

this is AI. so actually I have a couple notes.

Hasn’t even been 2 days since I posted this for it to immediately be relevant.

If a trans woman auditions for a cis male role it’s because she wanted to voice the role.

End of story.

"AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed" so succinct! so good!

wizard frog is insane

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

I fundamentally do not understand people who want AI actors like Tilly Norwood. I adore working with actors as a director - and I love watching actors make choices that are specific to them, their techniques and histories as people. Weird empty facsimiles of that is so depressing an idea to me.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE

YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS

PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

No. Your friends don't secretly hate you. You're just dehydrated.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

A white supremacist shit head died and the whole world rallies to lionize him, my trans siblings get murdered constantly because of his rhetoric, fucking crickets. I'm exceptionally exhausted with existing in a world that would clap at my death and celebrate those who called for it.

This will go unstated during all the coverage of Tyler Robinson, but once again we have a case where the shooter was apprehended not because of the competence of the FBI or law enforcement, but because someone turned him in. The expensive and intrusive mass surveillance tools didn’t do a thing here.

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

Anyone want to go in on buying David Lynch's house so we can mix films in his in home dub stage? #sounddesign #filmsound

"Hensel wrote more than 466 numbered works, that we know about, and when I started looking at her, only a couple dozen of them were available online. … I think, now, I have something like 185 of my own editions of the scores on there (henselpushers.com)." - @henselpushers.bsky.social Incredible!

What does he say about IQ and race, you fucking cowards?

sorry i don’t think Zohran’s win indicates how state or national races will go. Zohran campaigned against unaffordable basic needs and an old pervert. problems that are unique to new york city and no where else in the country
