"why do you want to gossip with the girls?" why do i want to learn from the poets, the writers, the thinkers, the scientists, the mathematicians, the intuitive, and the philosophers? is that what you're asking me?

[fluoresensitives]

Sometimes I do forget that at some point, and even now, a woman reading or writing, a woman educating herself was seen as unthinkable. And even the way people talk about the books some women read... you know what, read the porn, read the nonsense, read whatever, because it certainly wasn't allowed for a good long while

[fluoresensitives]

an illiterate group of people is a helpless group of people. If a girl is allowed to think, to reason, to empathize, her whole world expands, and if her world expands, she knows she wasn't born to submit or obey. Such a powerful, powerful tool!!

honestly they shoulda halted production in the second wicked movie when half the main actors on set were clearly in a ed competition with one another like yes these r grown adults but they dont have these roles and access to these movies and large venues and studios and directors and mv staff out of thin air like …the people overseeing her brand know whats going on and them not stepping in is crazy

Really enjoying the idea that Grace's angry outburst in Denmark became a meme. The Angry Scientist. It shows up in discussions of egregiously bad sci-fi movies and arguments with antivaxxers and astrophage deniers, in forms ranging from pristine screencap to super-crunchy jpeg. There's an animated parody in the style of Ace Attorney. His students use it without realizing it's him.

In his first week on the Gansu six different people asked him about it and four asked Stratt why she hired Angry Scientist Meme guy.

[runaway-orbit]

sometimes i think about the fact that when stratt finally gets ahold of the video diaries, her hair is of course already graying, her skin looser, eyes wiser but much more exhausted.

just like everyone else around her who knew grace.

carl’s hair is gray, there are bags under his eyes. the agents and the engineers have prominent lines on their faces. the diplomats are balding.

but she watches grace. she hears his laugh that doesn’t have the strain that hers does nowadays.

he is as young as the night, as warm as the sun. just as witty as she remembers.

as brave as the day he ran away.

as soft as the day she killed him.

at least i never have to hear you say, “i told you so.”

even though you were right.

so eva watches. again. and again. and again.

please stop making people feel weird for getting excited about the things they love

“body shaming” and its recognizing nearly every celebrity in american media is either succumbing to extreme eating disorders that clearly r making them sickly or pushing things like ozempic bc ppl r obsessed with skinniness to the point of being ok with dying bc of it ….i for one think its more shameful that this has become so normal that ppl think ur weird for saying this isnt how the world should be 😭

And plastic surgery and body modifications that don’t classify as plastic surgery.

A shiit ton of people who work in such industries as support have come out saying 95% of celebrities have had WORK DONE , that even people you would never expect have had plastic surgery . Even if it’s something small or even if they lie they’re all natural.

Also plastic surgeons and people working in beauty clinics have said multiple times that they have famous clients from celebrities to influencers who come in, get a shit ton of work done, go out and boast on social media how they achieved these things with exercise or diet or it’s “natural” .

And some people actually believe these celebrities are “natural” , defend them and get angry when you call out bullshit and now some people don’t know how a normal non-modified human looks like. I once said a popular celebrity wasn’t beautiful she just had money and I would be beautiful too with her money (and ok I realize these celebrities are probably pushed by industry and their managers to do such surgeries) but anyway some fan almost ate me alive. Yeah bro believe her obviously modified face that has 0 to do with her photos as a teenager isn’t surgery, but “puberty”

Twitch says that the AI scrapping feature is opt out because they knew no one would opt in

Amazon will train on Twitch streamers' content by default, unless they opt out | TechCrunch

"If this was opt-in, nobody would opt in," Twitch CPO Mike Minton said on a livestream responding to user feedback. "That's honestly the ans

This new AI scrapping feature had the internet up in arms against Twitch

“In a stream on the official Twitch channel, Twitch Head of Community Mary Kish and Chief Product Officer Mike Minton addressed a live audience of nearly 3,000 aggrieved users, many of whom were posting anti-AI sentiments in the chat.”

Minton said during the stream

“Why is it not opt-in? That’s what everybody is spamming in chat. I get it. ‘Let me opt in versus making me opt out,’” “Well, there’s an honest answer… If this was opt-in, nobody would opt in. That’s honestly the answer.”

“Twitch knows that its community of streamers is largely opposed to the use of generative AI, since the most prevalent generative AI products are trained on books, images, videos, and other materials scraped from the internet without consent.”

prepared for backlash and confusion from streamers

“Twitch’s approach to breaking this news shows that the company is braced for backlash.

Instead of telling the community that Amazon would begin training on Twitch users’ content, Twitch framed this change as “[adding] a setting that lets you opt out of having your channel content used to train generative AI content models across Amazon.”

Some streamers asked if their streams have been used to train AI, with Minton responding , “I don’t actually know the answer to that question because I don’t know what Amazon […] has done in terms of model training and what they’ve used and not used.”

If you use ChatGPT genuinely DNI, I can’t be moots with people who choose to rot their brain and destroy the planet

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYINGGGGGGGG!!!! Like the last person said, tech bros (and Silicon Valley as a whole) fundamentally reject consent. This is why Microsoft refuses to let you say no permanently and "reminds you in 3 days," this is why AI """"artists"""" keep stealing from artists, this is why websites make you go through 14 menus to turn off tracking cookies.

It all ties back to not respecting others' autonomy and consent, which is part of rape culture.
