Yes yes i know love is love. But they are still killing CHILDREN. over this.
"Love is love" is a milquetoast cishet marketing phrase
Pride is a FUCK YOU to a society that wants us dead.
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.
Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.
No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.
He didn't do it.
The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.
Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?
From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.
It is wild to me that the SPOP fandom doesn’t talk about or even mention the fact Hordak attempted to commit suicide on screen. That just happened and then the whole fandom proceeded to be like “well he’s still selfish and mean”. Guys. He isn’t perfect but what do you mean there’s like zero sympathy or acknowledgement of the tragedy of that???
And yes, I will not argue on this. It was not ‘a metaphor’ or ‘kind of’. Hordak stepped into that pool knowing it would erase him. He did not want to live with even the vaguest of memories of who he was. He fully intended to delete everything that made him himself. He willingly tried to destroy who he was and what he felt and everything he was inside. He did it in a way that left his physical body to still be useful because he was so brainwashed that he didn’t want to be a burden even in death. He heard so much as his name and he was ready to kill the part of him that was him, was Hordak. To make himself just another face, to wipe away the feelings and thoughts he had. Destroying everything inside and leaving just a body. That is absolutely a form of suicide. Hordak tried to kill what was left of himself in that moment.
And he was partially successful.
And it breaks me every time I think about it, and again every time it’s forgotten or thrown aside just because he isn’t a main character.
YES OMG!
Just look at the face he makes:
It’s just heartbreaking.
And being told they’re selfish is something a lot of people with suicidal ideation get slapped with, and it’s the LEAST helpful thing to say to a suicidal person.
I think a lot of this fandom is still young and Hordak is a character that in no way can be fully held in a black and white understanding of the world that is just something we all have to grow out of with time. Hordak is such a complex and nuanced character and it’s what makes him the most beautiful, at least to me.
To add on. This exchange. He’s scared and determined and even warning. Hordak took that last glance at something he remembered and yet it was almost begging. It feels to me like he’s saying “sorry, I don’t want this either, but I need to, I have nothing else.” It could even be taken as, in addition to the other reasons he’s doing it, Hordak is doing this to warn her. She needs to understand the danger she’s in, and this is his way of protecting her by showing her what will happen if she continues while hurting himself. The recognition in her eyes and slight jump…she finally understood that the vision of him she’d painted in her head was a lie, and he was just as trapped and scared as she was…I wish they got a proper arc together. I felt like in that moment she realized what was about to happen but couldn’t do anything :(
the newest hit on my island
I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.
they should invent a body that feels normal to be inside of
GET OUT OF MY DRAFTS NOW!!!!!!!!!
Ollie: So how do we not have expectations?
Jay: I’m really good at that I’ve practiced a long time with Chip.
Jay: Stick I love you if nobody else does
Chip: I love you more than she does.
Lizzie: Look, don’t ever repeat these words but i fucking, I c- I c- c-care about Chip.
Jay: He’ll never he’ll never know, and on the down low I do to but like I’ll never tell him that.
Chip: Jay!
Jay: Oh my god Chip!
Chip: Hey!
Jay: *grabs his face* You’re real!
Chip: You’re drunk!
Arlin: How many times this make now? Hundreds. We keep reliving the same moment. You’re gonna try to kill me. And I’m still gonna love you buddy. You’re not gonna change my mind. I’ll never, ever regret pulling you onto the ship. No matter what this place tries to make me believe, you’re my son. And you’d never hurt me. Come on. Let’s run it back again. I could do this all day.
Chip: You know some people call it a chip. It’s an easy mistake to make.
Arlin: I haven’t heard that one before.
Chip: I think you have.
Arlin: Kind of a silly name.
Drey: Always figured chip would make it but
Chip: You did?
Drey: Of course man. Just sad we weren’t there to see you grow into one. But i’m glad to see you both. nonetheless
Drey: You become a great pirate when you tell yourself that you’re great. If you believe that you’re great, you’ll just accidentally do great things.
Jay: If it’s in the interest of my fellow captain I’m in all the way
Gillian: Chips either getting killed or bitches and this store’s got no bitches Jay.
Charlie: Dm, can I get advantage because of psychopath?
Gillian: It's not our dad, it's not our dad! Your real dad would nev- Wait.
being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
i would rather see the information for an event handwritten in sharpie on a paper towel than see another AI generated flyer
you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

HEY wanna read but annoyed on where to find copies of books?
Here's an archive with millions of PDFs of books and papers and magazines and essays and stuff.
I've been looking for such archives, thanks
i was not going to publish this essay because i don’t like to yell but here the fuck i am.
the first link broke, here you go
BEGGING us to read nonfiction every now and then. Like. Words on page. It doesn't have to be the only thing you do, but you gotta keep in practice with it. No easier people to subjugate than those who question nothing they're told.
the use of AI lately has made me feel so hopeless, i translated pages of an unfinished fanzine of mine so i can remember why i love art...i hope it can resonate with anyone feeling the same way
