“…the creators of these [nonconsensual, violent AI] images often seemed to be treating the action like a game or meme, with an air of laughter & detachment.”

The children yearn for weird PS1 motion controllers.

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

solidarity with trans people and death to fascism

transphobia as a political project is about preserving authoritarian sexual control of children

It’s like “oh women have to be sexually available to men or else the men will destroy the fabric of society” damn ok

it's not a coincidence that they're pulling this shit at the same time as the epstein news. the world is fun by powerful rapists who openly believe that women having the right to vote or control their own bodies is the root of all political evil and must be stripped to restore men's power.

What's a few life-threatening mass blackouts when you can type in a few keywords and get a picture of Sydney Sweeney as Lara Croft but with 3 boobs

something I'm surprised gen AI discourse didn't hit yet is the attitude "I asked for it to be done, so I made it" has always been how rich people view using workers who have trained skills and do the technical side. they see themselves as creators for having an idea, we were just a means to that end

one good thing coming out of AI bullshit i guess

You FUCKED UP, your LEFTY politics have ALIENATED the BILLIONAIRES who run the CHILD BONE EXTRACTION FACTORIES and now they will do a MASS EXODUS from your STATE or CITY. Don’t CRY to ME when you no longer see their CHILD CATCHING VANS in your STATE or CITY, YOU IDIOT

Asking if AI is intelligent is like asking if your friend’s dog Princess is technically part of the British monarchy

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

if you see narrative people being meaner about larian than it sounds like they deserve, trust me, we've been waiting for this one

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon the Paris building shared by metal music fans and the union for metal workers, what a delight

Conservatives love AI because it's far easier to abuse a population that can't read, can't write, can't think, and can't tell what's real

to be loved is to be changed

In a sane world, the government guilty of committing genocide would be dismantled, and forced to pay reparations. Instead they are allowed to corral their victims into a concentration camp and steal their land. We live in the most obscene of all possible timelines.

This is true. It is the best email I got this year.

"Will this have to stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God's creation?" is the new "Is this going to be on the test?"

I like how the airport fast food tastes but I am tired of all of this chewing.

Me, an atheist: Your holiness I stand ready to join the crusade against the demonic computers

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

I don't know about you but the way my brain works is by analyzing the contents of the entire internet to make an educated guess about what word I should use next.

In America they arrest you if you tell someone else not to commit a crime

imagine having to hear shit like "study confirms giving diabetic children insulin reduces their death rates by 100%" as if that hasn't been known for like a hunred years. that's what being trans is like

Gender-affirming care saves lives

God I'm so sick of how "Activist" is used to un-person trans people.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Aside from the 18 other nazi ideas that fell out of her mouth, notice how one of the key points is "people who have access to global media and not just nation-approved media aren't easy to brainwash" This is the whole reason thst information control bills like KOSA are getting increasing sponsors

“due to no legal or policy restrictions.” Testing on brown people before using it on you. American voters, foreign policy is domestic policy. This truth can no longer be ignored for the panacea of a mythical lesser evil.

Collapsing the economy and destroying the planet so you can simulate the act of having friends with the world's sweatiest nightmare blunt rotation

PCHR reports systematic sexual torture of palestinian detainees from Gaza by israeli forces, including rape and psychological humiliation. "These practices are part and parcel of the ongoing crime of genocide against the Palestinian people in the Strip." pchrgaza.org/pchr-documen...

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together! It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity! So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖

On one of the dirty hippy US politics podcasts in 2017, after the torchlit Nazi rally where one of the marchers killed a woman.

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

“Life without art is not life.” I want a Netflix series on this whole family - how they live and how they walk around in the world. They sound like people we would all get great value from knowing.

oooooh my gawd the sun came out

anyway good night

The Morning Monty accepts his gloomy weather fate.

anyway good night (and beware the danger beans)

International Criminal Court judge, "sanctioned" by the USA for doing his job, blocked from using internet services worldwide, credit cards, banking... And nobody cares...

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad
