I’m writing about the need for AI literacy

AI does not belong in art. It does not belong in music. It does not belong in any creative pursuit.

AI should be finding me cheap groceries and coupons, mowing my lawn, dusting my shelves, and folding and putting away my laundry.

*I* make art. Not AI.

We’ll see next year, I’m scared of the republican retaliation for this

This is exactly what I was thinking

my pumkin
he is everything

nani the fuck is going on

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

Labour’s response to over 100,000 fascists in the streets of London is to appease them

Labour’s response to peaceful protesters demanding an end to genocide is to arrest over 1,000 people and now they are increasing police power.

Starmer is continuing the Tory project.

TEARING OUT THE CORRUPTION

I have been screaming for a long time, calling reps, attending protests, sharing information, having conversations in the real world, & panic attacks recently lol Idk how else to react anymore

I know this is about Americans as a whole but it IS disheartening to see as someone who has been trying

Tbh it cracks me up how many ppl waste their time bitching about Taylor swift when they could just… not listen. Or care. And just do something else.

I don’t recognize the country I live in anymore when I see the news

It’s very dissonant from my lived reality and I know it’s a huge amount of privilege that keeps me safe

same people who said we were alarmists and cranks to warn about genocide in gaza

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I don't think there has been a generation before which has been so thoroughly failed by the adults around them at every stage. It's amazing that they still have such moral clarity and initiative. God bless them.

It’s especially creepy that the Tilly Norwood creature is a synthetic young girl with 0 agency.

I can’t help but think that “AI” actress that has been “invented” is basically a way to silence actors and actresses on their political stances as many of them have been more and more vocal lately

Texas Tech isn't the only university system handing down chilling, verbal-only directives banning discussions about transgender identity. If this is happening at your institution, I want to know about it--reach me on Signal at emmawhitford.96

ME ON THE OTHER HAND, NOT BEHOLDEN TO LITIGATION OR NDA: WHAT A LOAD OF FUCKING BULLSHIT

I can’t really give more detail. But that’s what’s available publicly. I’ll let others interpret this as they will.

Image of text that says: C——— K—- was a racist, xenophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, sexist, white nationalist mouthpiece who made millions of dollars inciting hatred in this country. Whether it was his genocide denial, his transphobic tirades, his pushing for mass deportations, or his normalizing Trumpism for years, the man stood for nothing but hate. I extend absolutely no empathy for people like that. In this situation, my empathy is reserved for his children. May they grow up to live in a country that is the total opposite of everything their father envisioned. May (highlighted in red) all of our children grow up to live in a country that values their lives enough to take gun violence seriously and reject any person who would try to justify senseless gun-related deaths - especially the deaths of children.

Let’s not forgot the three children murdered today as well.

Long story short, bro violated his work’s social media contract somehow in regards to a comment about CK.

Well, I may go back to fb still but for now I’m deactivated. I’m done with the ugliness there.
