So loads of people are sharing an obvious ai "glow up" of an actual photo. I never share ai stuff even to dunk, but in this case I'm sharing a comparison to show the problem. We have to stand against this slop at every level or it becomes normalised. They want us to stop caring. See alt text.

A woman’s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her
Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship.
She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead.
Boyfriend opened fire on her car
We aren’t angry enough.
that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it
anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love
