Bangtan teaching NJ how to drive: JM: tirelessly explains the smallest detail while cracking jokes to keep it light YG: steady patience and arms crossed, says "go ahead" for the 2000th time TH & JK: stars in their eyes, "you got this, hyung! fighting!" SJ & HS: steely gazes, jaw clench, "pull over"

Came across this Taemin photo again. He's so mesmerizing 🫠

AI slop as radioactive poison. Time to spent time on high-quality repositories of pre-slop material made by humans. Some resources here.

god i love fried rice

Ouch ouch ouch ouch

The human cost of AI: the real people, hired as "data labellers" and other euphemisms (after signing non-disclosure agreements) paid a pittance, and enduring immense harm in the process. A devastating anatomy of how tech companies exploit, dehumanize, and ultimately replace human beings. 1/

Historian focusing on early modern book culture here. I am not sure that feeding a private company with all our past handwritings from archives is a solution or a way forward. Google‘s AI studio is a data trap. #skystorians

(bangs fist on the table) SHINee! SHINee! SHINee! SHINee! SHINee!

"SHINee WILL come back next year" He said it; he said they're already picking songs

every new ai thing is just advertising products to people who hate real human interactions or anything made by someone who’s alive

I keep a screenshot of this tumblr post on *every device I own* bc it makes me laugh so hard every time I look at it.

When you call the femme fatale as a witness in court and she ends up pursuing her own agenda. Oh, you are screwed.

perverted monsterfucker seonghwa and, well, an interested mingi. this one got away from me 👹 cw / brief mentions of light bullying (think i'll post this on the archive, it's too long for alt text on the first photo, apologies!)

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Anyone who thinks immigrating is easy has never been through the system. Even under the best circumstances, it's a confusing, lengthy process that often requires expensive legal advice. This is unconscionable. Shame.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Logging on

*dies*

Was reading this, fully hooked and immersed into the sheer horror, while constantly thinking 'Wait, why is this so good?! Who did this?' Until I got to the end and saw it was Anand RK, with lettering by @adityab.net and then it just made total sense lmfao. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

spoiler: mass media consolidated in the hands of ad-based corporations owned by a handful of right wing billionaires is easily exploited by a wide variety of bad actors and fatal to democracy and informed consensus

And don’t say Hoseok that man is also parasocial he made squirrel themed merch for us even though he doesn’t know why we think he’s a squirrel

Still think some weeks about how Shirley Jackson's bone ash was being gifted to select writers at a convention back in the day.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

this afternoon we're thinking about kibum packing lunch for minho on sports day, with his little heart shaped containers. Cooking as act of love.

i sense there’s something in the wind 🌀

Always lovely to have a friend appreciate one's book 💙 Incidentally, Shreya has a gorgeous, transportive, haunting historical novel coming out about a courtesan-assassin from the Indian subcontinent sent to try and infiltrate Alexander the Great's invading army and kill him. Don't miss it:

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

jungkook: WE ALL HAVE BOOKS BESIDES OUR BED

The liminal time approaches

Just to show you a few recent, cool entries. The blank expression is key, but as to where you pose, you can see a lot is acceptable. (This is not yet a comment on what will be accepted for the book, since we can only use a few.) (Claim your photo if u want, but did not want to preemptively ID.)

We talk about Indian folklore and D&D monsters but Manmita has delivered us these beautiful creatures inspired from them in a FREE package with LOTS to dive into. Watch our full interview and download the PDF from her Itch io page! youtu.be/01qUWu4iRis

December 1st is #WorldAIDSDay, so I gathered a handful of nonfiction and art books off my shelves to recommend. Of course there are many, many more this—but for anyone who’s just beginning to learn all the community histories that aren’t taught, I hope this lil’ stack might offer somewhere to start.

remembering the late 1990s/early 2000s observations of a Day Without Art, a Visual AIDS project for World AIDS Day—and on the web, people turning their own personal websites black

Social media, eh? Actually from a pamphlet published in Berlin, in around 1828.

NEW EPISODE of kill the computer we talk about how social media and ‘kirkification’ has altered charlie kirks legacy we also talk about the future of a blossoming tech industry called “grieftech”, people who want to “revive” dead people in the form of ai for profit
