If a website insists banning AI content is "unenforceable" they are lying While that was true in the past, today AI is required by law to include statistical watermarks specifically to enable automated detection and removal

"Batman's villains getting redeemed is so overdone" Yeah it really sucks that the franchise that's entirely built around the idea that the criminally ill need treatment rather than police brutality follows through on its core premise

The difference between art and products is that art is made for the people making it and products are made for the people consuming it The world's worst art has more intrinsic value that the world's best product

Fun fact about me: I'm the reason my school growing up stopped making kids write essays about why they love their families Apparently the teachers got really depressed because I couldn't think of anything

Just found out the head of the local Roman reenactor's Guild is a neo-confederate and now my initial ick towards their group has turned into a full on burning hatred The Klan used to lynch Italians, now they pretend to be us and appropriate our history & art for propaganda

There is a genre of post online that is just Italian nationalists insisting the diaspora has been "bastardized by outside forces" because they can't handle that the no cheese on fish thing is literally just a random trend from the 40s that has no actual basis in history or culinary theory

Copyright should go back to being only 28 years. It protects creators while being minimally culturally intrusive Once you're the age people make their first major published work (30's-40's), everything culturally relevant to your upbringing should be fair game

Almost done with Act 1 of my novel

Using both twitter and bluesky means being endlessly inundated by confidently wrong people constantly insisting nobody uses the other site anymore

Reminder that the literacy crisis has nothing to do with being able to mechanically read or sound out words. It's about people lacking the referential literacy to pick up on complex themes topics & symbolism as well as not knowing how to fact check or do systematic level analysis

Happy No Kings Day! By being there for the people you love and care for, you are more patriotic than the people that run the country.

You've heard of breasted boobily now get ready for penised prominently

Por favor falem de Epic the Musical comigo

The culture of Florida makes a lot more sense once you realize the bottom 2/3rds of it are essentially apart of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the upper 1/3rd is a bunch of white supremacists actively trying to rig all elections and media coverage to hide that fact from the rest of the country

To all my fellow lung disease folk: get your pneumo boosters I forgot tot get my booster done and now I have an infection It's a quick jab every 5 years in exchange for not getting bronchitis or pneumonia every cold and flu season

Idea for a movie/tv review site: Every piece of media has 2 ratings, a general audience rating & a target audience rating. If you have more than 10 reviews and a net positive rating for a specific genre, your reviews get counted for the target audience score

PSA from a dyslexic adult: while extended time is great, if it's used as an alternative to more comprehensive accommodations, it becomes a punishment Imagine being told that you have to do 5 hours of homework while everyone else only has to do 1, that's the life of a dyslexic child

One of these days I will remember the password to my OF and delete everything. Then probably post a bunch of new stuff like a week later, lol

I feel like we're on the precipice of a massive "party's over" moment for the ultra-wealthy

I feel like Clinton's dick is cursed, like every time that man gets head the entire country burns to the ground

The anosmic version of deaf people finding out farts have a sound is finding out that cum has a smell. People are so squeamish they use euphemisms like "your room smells like boy" and you're left wondering why they look so uncomfortable when you say it's probably because their brother came over

I had a dream where they started casting people with disabilities for lead roles more, but rather than using CGI to get rid of their mobility aides they just painted the word "NONDIEGETIC" on them with bye-bye-blue & go-away-green

Life hack: if you add a bunch of languages you don't speak to your google ads settings, you unlock the ability to tell immediately what is and isn't an ad since the odds of it being in your native language go down with every additional one you select

A response to Jimmy Carr’s comments about Graham Linehan.

Most radical opinion on economics: there should be a maximum profit margin for a given type of good or service. That way you know what things that are expensive are that way you can identify cheap crap at a glance

Normal Frieren fans: Yeah the demons weaponizing racial tolerance is fucked, I wish the writer did more research on why certain fantasy tropes aren't used anymore. "Those" Frieren fans: It's not genocide if they're evil bro! On an unrelated note, wanna see some crime statistics?

The thing I hate about the hero's journey is that playing with different story structures and figuring out which option fits best is basically the funnest part of writing for me. When you act like there is one "correct" way to do it, you're prioritizing the end product over the fun of creation

the moment gen AI is used to forge evidence in a high profile criminal case, it's getting banned. It being so resource intensive makes policing it incredibly easy

Living through red scare 2: electric boogaloo

Donald Trump was president on January 6

Video sharing sites could probably circumvent the whole problem of kids seeing inappropriate content by just doing what TV does and letting time zones affect what content they push. Family friendly while parents are at work, and adult oriented while the kids are asleep

"Death gives life meaning" sounds good on paper, but in practice it's often a way for the young healthy & able-bodied to offload emotional labor onto the most vulnerable; The old, the sick & the disabled. To those of us in said groups it reads as "your purpose is to die so my life can have meaning"

The thing that sets the fantastical racism of Marvel's mutants apart from other examples of the trope is the fact that it's a universe where superpowered non-mutants far outnumber the mutants. Once you notice this you realize the distinction between mutant and non-mutant is an entirely arbitrary

D.o I.t Y.ourself is coming out so much better than I first thought, I'm so fucking excited to have this shit ready by Halloween

The history of christian authoritarianism is basically just them pulling made up religious taboos out of their ass and then feigning shock and horror when the only people still doing those things are non-christians

I feel like private health insurance is gonna collapse in the next 10 years. If insurance costs more than just tanking the bill, healthy people will start opting out, creating a domino effect where fewer and fewer people are in a position where insurance is a net gain

Far too many socialists think that refusing to compromise with liberals and vote blue will somehow magically convince other people to be socialists when in fact all it does is drive the center further to the right by forcing them to compromise with conservatives instead

Figured out the primary baseline for my song D.I.Y. I haven't uploaded music in years and when I left last time I totally nuked all traces of my previous online presence, so it feels great to be making shit again

Comment on my Charlie Kirk video, lo

i fucking love Jimi Hendrix

New song's coming together nicely. Almost done with the lyrics, then I'm going to record the baseline and throw together some instrumentals

Summarizing my thoughts on Charlie Kirk's assassination: youtu.be/ZCGJgOqo2ug?...
