WE MADE A MOVIE IT EXISTS GO SEE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA #wildwood

We saw variants of the Great Replacement in the 19th century when the pope or various Catholic heads of European states were accused of flooding the US with Catholic immigrants to out-vote native born Protestants.

There are no ethical uses of AI. There are no “safe” uses of AI. There are no defensible “leftist” uses of AI. You want to know how I know this? The computer scientists in my life who had to work on it are all suffering moral injuries and burnout.

"Not voting isn't helping Republicans! I didn't help Trump get elected by voting for Jill Stein! I could be helping Democrats! I am so clever!" No, that only works if you'd vote Republican instead of not voting or voting 3rd party. In which case, that's very telling of your actual politics.

Getting fooled by an AI image/video is fine. It's gonna happen to all of us from time to time. Refusing to acknowledge it and make amends when it's pointed out to you isn't fine. Ask yourself if your reluctance to hear the truth is because you've put your ego before the cause?

Folks, if your antifascist meme depicts AI generated scenes that didn't happen you're not advancing antifascist ideals. Misinformation is a tool of fascism. GenAI is built through theft from ( and displacement of) workers by elites who won't face repercussions. It's a tool of fascism.

Maybe I'm not deep enough in Star Trek fandom, but I've never seen anyone talk about the cleverness of naming Data's evil-mirrror twin "Lore". Data: hard facts, information Lore: myths, beliefs #StarTrek

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

This Doc Rivers clip reminds me: I say this all the time. Back in the day, Black folks who could vote, voted for their survival, not perfection. They chose the best option for them. NO KINGS‼️🧵

Not-So-Fun Fact: Liking some female characters does NOT mean you aren’t sexist. Saying, “But we like Mara Jade and Ahsoka!” is the fandom equivalent of saying you have some “Black friends”. It doesn’t mean your poor excuses for hating Rey or Rose are not misogynistic. #StarWars

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

Trying to decide if I should just give up the ghost on the hair that has lingered on the top or should I let it stay?

Normalize discussing things you dislike without resorting to saying it’s “shit” or trying to insult the intelligence of people who enjoy it challenge

If you're tired of Republican governing and having a blabbering buffoon in the White House, here's a fun fact: Your vote is private. Nobody will know you voted for Democrats.

“Musicians should shut up and sing and not be political!” Meanwhile, Lynyrd Skynyrd (1974): In Birmingham they love the governor (boo-hoo-hoo) Now we all did what we could do Now Watergate does not bother me Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth

Very sad to see that Blockenheimer is down again. :(

Basically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.

Getting rid of USAID–which was an Elon move; you a fan of his?–is why hundreds of thousands of people are dead. Including half a million children. Haha so funny. Haha it was all just a CIA op. Haha. You’re so clever. Haha. hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

Rape as a tool of political violence was the natural escalation point to allowing an adjudicated rapist to become President. I think I'll just start shrieking at the top of my lungs at anyone who tells me I'm overreacting from this point forward. No words, just the feral sound of unbridled rage.

To repeat myself, the true genius of this account is often not the ST episodes themselves, but the brief glimpses of the other shows in this timeline.

It's Anti-Prime day, which means free shipping on Bookshop until midnight, which means YOU can preorder HOW TO SURVIVE PREHISTORY for just $21.43 and get it as soon as it drops in April. Words by me! Art by @stievenvdp.bsky.social! Beasts by the inexorable hand of evolution!

I think one reason it’s good to have a liberal arts education in the classic sense is that you don’t then spend time trying to invent the concept of “intellectual pursuits” from first principles

Explaining to kids what Toys R Us, Shopping, Sprees and 50 cents were.

It's tru, tho.

I need something to cheer me up. What is the cutest, sweetest movie of all time? Go.

Anyway, Castle Rat was fan-frickin-tastic. 🤘 🐀 💀 🏰

some creatures you might find in the woods.
