My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Consent to be touched respects the person who has the right to choose whether they want it. Nobody has a right to physical interactions with children, whether or not the intent of that interaction is physical. The alternative is an unconscionable denial of children's rights to body autonomy.

In fact, there's a lot of these images around. Many of which (like the original one) have likely had AI feature in their creation. There's lots of tells, but things like 'highly detailed tyres on the 90s ones' should tell you something is up.

So I just saw this posted by some random engagement farming account and want to use it as an example of a certain kind of post because they piss me off. This image is just a lie. These are not Hot Wheels. You can tell since they have no branding on the bottom.
