“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

it's SO annoying because going "they banned it because a black woman did it!!" obscures the very real racism she faced which had nothing to do with backflips and a lot to do with a) figure skating's enduring and insidious antiblackness and b) Didier Gailhaguet specifically being a piece of shit

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

Chels made a spreadsheet to keep track of the known abusers in figure skating (gross that the sport has enough to merit a spreadsheet but it is what it is) The list included known sexual assaulters and in some cases victims were minors.

Happy Grand Prix Final week everyone! ⛸️

I don't know about you, but I'm already internally screaming with the craziest mix of excitement and dread topped with a dash of woefulness because this fever dream will be over all too soon.

Just so we’re clear; if you use gen AI for your writing at all then I don’t care what themes the work contains or what point you are trying to make. Using gen AI tells me that you fundamentally cannot engage with or create art in any meaningful way and nothing you have to say to me has any value.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

People always say that there can't be enough fanfics with the same trope, theme etc. because fans eat that up. I think that's only true for new fandoms when everything is exciting and there is a collective craving for more.

Once a fandom gets older,

One of the best worldbuilding guides you can read is Tolkien's notes on translation, where he talks about the fact that *everything* you write is in practice being translated into English; is is no more anachronistic to use the word "September" than it is use the word "sword" or "house" or "hello".
Not sure how I feel when a book tells me that instead of "12 months" they have "10 arcs," which are each 40 days long, and they all have names like Blossomarc, Flamearc Snowarc,.... I appreciate the world building, but couldnt we have just kept the calendar the same?

He has Hobbits and Men refer to Rivendell, while Elves still call it Imladris, even though convention isn't to translate place names, because he said he wanted to convey what it would be like to run into people "who still casually called Winchester Camelot".

It's never too late to stop using AI. 💖 I am genuinely saying this with compassion. I know it's hard out here. Your own hard work will take you further than the work of a chat bot or whatever gen AI tool. You can bounce back. I promise.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

小言いふ相手のほしや秋の暮

Half-forgotten for most of the year, Tenju-an (天授庵), like many of Nanzen-ji's small sub-temples, bursts into life during late autumn.
