And I’m the last person to argue for free speech censorship, but AI isn’t a person and AI content isn’t art, it does not have free speech rights. It is patently unethical that all of us are the beta test for Gen AI.

A twelve year old can make AI porn of his teacher but cannot see the movie Before Sunrise in theaters. Does that not feel completely insane.

Does it strike anyone as weird that we have a ratings board that counts the number of times a movie says fuck or shows a boob and decides who is allowed to see it, and yet GenAI was dropped on the entire with no restrictions, no age verification, no checks, no regulation whatsoever?

One of the shits about chronic pain is how it fucks with your availability to realise when something is really wrong with you and you need proper treatment 🤦 I'm such a dumbass, I've been sick for weeks.

One of the reasons i love tolkien is the theme that despair is an enemy
and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair
and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair
You can be as terrified or nonplussed or unperturbed as you like; the sun will still rise tomorrow & the rent will still be due on the 31st. The world has no romantic narratives for its fate except those we invent, because the world does not die. That is our privilege.
I said it elsewhere, but it’s weirdly exhilarating and addictive to be terrified all the time, and the people addicted to it, when they say this, may as well be saying “I can stop at any time, it’s just the world doing this *to* me.”

Making shit is a balm for your soul like no other. It absolutely eradicates the doom scrolling void inside.
I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Sorry but getting towards the end of Erha and I'm staunchly in favour of the villains, the butterfly boned beauty feasts.
They destroyed the whole world coz y'all enslaved them.
All they wanna do is build a bridge of human corpses to the demon realm, let them cook.

Oh. Oh no. I've gotten "did I really go to that concert?" levels of old.
I know I went to Daft Punk Alive but for a second I was like "Wait, did I really go?"
Maybe I should go to bed and stop undersleeping to write dumb novels and draw before I start burning holes in my brain.

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.
even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.
they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

I always appreciate how easy it would have been for them to overuse a character like Nifty, and how they didn't.
Thinking about how Alastor is gone all season, but Niffty stays. She goes to help Al... but she doesn't follow him.
Her song IS ABOUT how much she likes the hotel and how Charlie is nice and that she believes in her dream.
Niffty likes the hotel. Shes there cuz she WANTS to be.

Jacquie Thomson was brutally attacked and then misidentified as the aggressor. She's working to hold police accountable
Jacquie Thomson is one of a large number of women who police continue to misidentify as primary aggressors instead of as victim/survivors.
