most cutting thing you can say is "who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns

willfully spreading misinformation for clout does not make you a vulnerable community and trying to use disabled and neurodivergent people to justify it is gross

thanks to everyone who reported this; she's deleted it as a result

no, they were completely turned off, and have now been changed to the setting you describe. it's fine, the damage is now somewhat mitigated, but you'll notice it took me actually posting about it from an account she can't control the replies to.

I am not usually a posting cop; I primarily don't care what slopbrained people do but using known misinformation to go viral under the banner of defending journalism makes me wanna fuckin puke. real journalists are getting locked up! for chrissakes, have the integrity that god gave a tapeworm

this is the AI content post in question, by the way. you'll notice @jennbudd.bsky.social has turned off replies after people kept pointing out it was AI. she doesn't want to delete it because it got a bunch of likes. luckily bluesky has a "report misinformation" feature bsky.app/profile/jenn...

on the very specific occasions where the King needs to pick up their prescriptions on a Saturday morning from the place that is right next to the bagel place... the King doth Treat

the irony of doing it for a post ostensibly about the threat to journalism

"even if it's AI, it's at least true" hard to overstate the damage this stuff is doing to people's brains. we're gonna be cleaning the slop out of archives for decades

spreading misinformation like AI-generated videos is harmful specifically BECAUSE it makes it harder to focus on the real people being arrested. how are you not getting this

Cohen is a Ghost @skullmandible.bsky.social · 1d

it's ok to just admit you got fooled by a an initially-convincing video. twisting yourself into knots to say the fake video is true actually is embarrassing

1 28

Cohen is a Ghost @skullmandible.bsky.social · 1d

Well it's not true. You're leaving up a video that everyone has told you is AI generated because it went viral, and then you turned off the comments. How can you expect anyone to trust anything you say when you're so obviously compromised? Don't you see the issue here? bsky.app/profile/jenn...

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

in grad school an acquaintence found out I had a twitter following and sent me a message asking if I would do a tweet about her fashion blog, and I did to be nice. over next couple days I got three more messages from her: two were links to other blog posts and the third just said "posting today or?"
