THE NEW VINE WILL TAKE YOUR CONTENT like everybody is excited because “vine is back and they don’t allow AI!!!” But that is only because they want new content to scrape for training AI. Don’t be fooled.
Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.
Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.
The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

There is no reason for gender or sex to be on identification. The only people who need to know are your health care professionals and people you choose to be intimate with. Most other reasons to categorize are for bullying and discrimination.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The modern conservative panic is fueled by juvenile tantrums, of people clinging to hierarchies until their fingernails are bloody because they're too contemptuous towards undesirables and offal acquiring even a shred of humanity and dignity.
But it's inevitable, and the clock will not turn back.

"Fear is contagious, but so is courage."
Good statement.
Trump and Republicans are clearly on the defensive at this point and Trump is acting in desperation literally throwing stuff on his social media platform.
Dems shouldn't be giving an inch rhetorically - but also legislatively on the Hill.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

Baldur's Gate 3 and Mass Effect would have been significantly worse without the stellar cast. Designers can give them a body, but good voice actors give them a soul.
I'm afraid we're all being trained to accept mediocre AI. Consumers won't know any better because everything will be garbage.

remember when SEO ruined most of the internet the first time well in case you hadn't realized the internet is being ruined in new ways now trying to figure out what to put where online so people asking chatgpt for best protein powder or investment company or movie or bread brand get a certain answer
I meet adults who are frustrated by the inability of young people to google things how we did at their age, seems to be from losing touch with how it's all trash now. our lives either don't need it as often or we take for granted we gradually learned to work around slop as it festered
