LRT I was just talking about this with my partner yesterday but there has been a stark and obvious difference in the way we approach technology and innovation in the last 20 years
Innovation has taken a backseat to profit and thus technological innovation no longer focuses on improving lives

What a great day to be thankful for what you have! Once you start to see the value in “obsolete” technology, it’s impossible to justify just how short our upgrade cycles have become.
Call me crazy, but I think TVs, phones, computers, etc SHOULD last for decades.

I think the most dangerous thing the internet has normalized/accepted as "the norm" is dogpiling harassment campaigns. Like people brush it off as "that's the internet for you!" but like. It doesn't need to be this way. Start holding your friends accountable for contributing to that shit

i wish that schools had media literacy classes that went beyond just "the writing" and actually talked about how the media is presented, who made it during what time period, who the media was intended for and how that shapes the messaging, etc

For my Neopets Black Market video I made this little AIM chatbox popup thing and keyframed a mask to have the letters pop up as if they were actually typing
took like an hour to edit and separate the aim window/text and do the animation keyframing sldkhfsfd

She was a *child* when she did this and Olbermann preyed on her just a year or two later. We can hold her responsible for all of her later in life terrible grown-ass decisions, but this is a disgusting failure of the adults in her life to protect a CHILD.
Someone found an mp3 of the creepy "Jailbait" song Olivia Nuzzi released when she was 16 🫣

also I find it concerning that upon quick glances over profiles, seemingly not a single woman in the comments has expressed concern and would rather mock. I think this is indicative of how girls are encouraged to drag each other down early on and become isolated instead of embracing solidarity

“How could this have happened?” If you were a young girl/young woman living through the 90s early 00s this was the prevailing conventional wisdom through which we were told our looks were perceived. It was absolutely designed with predatory patriarchal motivations to control us under the male gaze.

i feel compelled to highlight that many of the reactions and replies to this tweet being uncovered is making fun of the (now adult) woman who created it and saying this is indicative of her "true character" despite the fact that the OP explicitly says it was made when she was 16

I struggle with this to the max. However, when working on your project be it animation, game, comic, or whatever you encounter stuff you can’t draw well… change it. Play to your strengths. Challenge yourself of course but not to the detriment of finishing the damn thing.

People definitely underestimate the depths of the propaganda. Like it's not just the news and stuff but also entertainment, advertising, everything. We live in the real "does the fish know it's wet" shit here.
