more often than not, and especially on social media, anyone who ever says "i'm on their radar" is only on their radar as much as any other random person, which is to say "sorry they probably don't care about you lmao"

a kier starmer tweet "to those in scotland and around the world, celebrating over a Burns Supper, i wish you a very happy Burns Night" but it's him, out of focus in the background and, instead of a Burns Supper, a plate of fuckin biscuits and tunnocks teacakes, a can of irn bru and a bread roll

The Rodney King video is one of the most important moments in American history because it showed people, particularly comfortable white people, irrefutable evidence that marginalized peopleโ€™s stories of how police behaved - which were never believed - were in fact true.

we're literally living through immigration policy dictated by social media memes pumped directly into the brains of both government and opposition party. where have you been all this time?

Comic Con banned Al art. https://Inkd.in/dEeA7GFZ
On one side: Artists fighting to protect craft, credit, and originality.
On the other: Creators finally able to bring ideas to life without mastering the traditional tools.
Al is dividing the creative world in two.
But hasn't this happened before?
Was Photoshop cheating?
Was digital photography?
Is CGI less "real" than practical effects?
Is animation less valid than live action?
Studios are already using Al.
Cinema is evolving.
Music, design, apps - everything is shifting.
We're not just witnessing a tech shift. We're living through a cultural evolution.
Yes, we "should" protect artists.
Yes, we *must* talk about ethics, consent, originality.
But should creative expression only belong to the trained?
Al is giving more people a seat at the creative table.
To build, paint, compose, animate - without gatekeepers.
Maybe we'll need two categories:
@ *Human-only*
2 *Al-assisted*
Or... maybe not.
Because creativitv should

the way you people act like you've been consigned to a siberian gulag when told you can't use the environmentally damaging plagiarism machine to extrude an image that you can sell for quick profit is absolutely incredible. your audacity and greed are breathtaking. try getting a real job

I was once accused of "smuggling vegetables"(?) on arrival and I definitely did not help by saying all I had was a bag of maltesers and he could have one if he wants. had issues on arrival even years later. wouldn't chance it at all now or for a very long foreseeable future

the extent to which this administration is out of control is really summed up by the fact that they immediately went with โ€œthis was an armed terrorist there to kill law enforcementโ€ knowing that video from multiple angles completely disproving them was out there and would be seen by everyone

her glasses have no camera and work with street view. i just checked and the new G2 model (again, no camera) also do this. and i feel like the main bone of contention keeps slipping away here: even if they glasses have a lens for (legit function of some kind), you don't need to be able *to record*

my relative had (has?) a set of even realities (i do not know which model) and they don't come with cameras, and they're very light. i've worked in fields tied to AR/XR/VR. this is really not an uncommon or non-existent thing, and again, you don't *need* to have camera or video built in

Man, I hate to break it to you, but I think the White House might actually be involved in all this.
