even beyond all the reasons to hate cybertrucks is the fact that it’s just a horrendously ugly vehicle. like regardless of why you got it and what you stand for, you have zero fucking taste. no way we bullied Kia soul drivers for the last two decades for you to think this looks cool

as someone who was a teenage girl on the internet, i think making AI-generated revenge porn of a minor should get you the electric chair actually

it's 30 years later and this still happens.

Jenna Ortega revealed in an interview with The New York Times that she quit Twitter after seeing explicit images of herself generated by Al when she was a teenager. She also became inundated with messages from fans that ranged from "disgusting" to "absurd."
"I hate AI," Ortega said. "I mean, here's the thing: AI could be used for incredible things. I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed. That's beautiful. Let's keep it to that. Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It's terrifying. It's corrupt. It's wrong."

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and I think where I come down on it is: if you’re cool and/or hot, smoking cigarettes is cool as hell. if you’re neither of those things, though, you probably shouldn’t do it

To the first point - we need to bring back smoking cigs

my pet pig learned how to unzip my backpack, took out a folder, and literally ate my homework. I told my professor and she said she’d believe me and I could make up the essay for full credit if I brought my pig to class as proof.

and that’s how phoebe attended her first day of college at KU!

at the library and found a book about me

A spread in a children’s book that reads “although we call her princess, she acts more like a clown”. Art is of two children playing dress up with a dog, one wears a hat and the other a crown.
