Finding out AI companies are chewing through - literally, they’re pulping and burning them as they go - millions of books often including 1/1s and old texts that cannot be reprinted

Meanwhile there’s always some dipshit telling me AI is the future and we’ve got to just let companies erase human history and literature so they can train their abomination machines to pretend to think like people because a judge said it’s fine

When I was a little boy, girls used to just do random cartwheels for no reason. Then one day, they stopped. Now that I am a man, no women randomly do cartwheels. This is because society is evil and killed the cartwheel impulse in their soul. They don't even spin horizontally anymore. It's fucked up.

you CANNOT read too much old timey fiction because I was playing Raft with the lads this morning and without a THOUGHT said we could sail over to another island "if the wind would consent to blow" & let me tell you. This did not pass by unremarked.

i think we should start openly mocking male creatives who can't figure out how to write women. like actually i think it's embarrassing that it took elliot page transitioning for christopher nolan to give him a good role. why did it take like ten years to get the first female lead in a marvel movie? why is it a Known Fact that stephen king can't write women? why is 50% of the population omitted from large ensemble works? i asked my friend to name a movie directed by a man with a majority female cast and he said ghostbusters 2016. ghostbusters. ghostbusters. g

Elliot Page also starred in Inception before transitioning, and from what I’ve heard is in The Odyssey for less than five minutes, so that’s a really weird example to use. Like, I don’t disagree with the overall point, but why is that the first example? Kind of feels more like criticizing Nolan for hiring a trans actor than actually being about men not able to write women.

[fvckw4d]

Elliot Page is such a good example of how when trans men transition people automatically read privilege into their experiences—them specfically, in a way that singles them out among the sea of cis men they are surrounded with living their lives uncontroversially—when all evidence suggests they are actually experiencing the exact opposite of that. Elliot Page has gotten nothing but hate and scrutinity from the general public and the media and his career has taken some serious damage since coming out.

theres a catastrophic everyone loneliness epidemic men are just the loudest abt it 😳😳 just sayin

this might get me attacked but i said what i said

[siluscrow]

No no you’re spot on, but the causes for either “side” are different.

Male loneliness is a result of years of…I think it’s 4th wave feminism? The ones going “all men are dangerous violent rapists”, coupled with those women giving advice to other women (who I mentally ballpark associate with like pickup artists and those annoying “alpha chad” advice guys) that they should play games and test their man (and not fun games either, like self-sabotage). These factors (among others) have resulted in a good portion of men just going “fuck it” and withdrawing from the dating scene because the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze.

The female loneliness is a result of the male, as when men have withdrawn from the dating scene as an act of self-preservation, there are no longer viable or “good” men out there to date. Ultimately it is a situation of their own making, complaining of reaping this while a not insignificant amount not realizing or acknowledging that they had sown it in the first place.

There’s ways out of this but it’s not really a conversation people are ready or willing to have, as it has to do with both social bravery and accountability from both sides, and you know how stubborn people can be.

okay so my grandma had this friend and he was late to everything, but he didn’t really mind, as he would always joke around and say ‘oh well, as long as i’m not late to my own funeral’.

he recently passed away and last week at his funeral, everyone was in the church waiting for it to begin. they waited for more than 30 minutes past the set time and then came the news: 

the hearse had gotten stuck in traffic. the hearse with his body in it. 

he was late to his own fucking funeral.

can someone tell this fool that the sea peoples' were a factor in the bronze age collapse, and pre-date the odyssey by several hundred years at least?

[meme-space-nine]

To be fair the odyssey was floating around fir several centuries as an oral tradition before “homer” wrote it down, no?

Women have consistently earned a larger share of humanities degrees than men, but the humanities constitute a diminishing proportion of the

Archaeologist problems: Women (in the US at least, likely similar in many other countries) currently earning 70% of recent archaeology degrees, but still being forced to listen to some random guy's (uncited and unfounded) sea peoples theories.

[micewithknives]

Adding Australian data to this - 58% of currently employed consulting archaeologists (CRM equivalent) were women in 2021, and this number was increasing. It’s understood that this is even higher when we factor in academia numbers, and graduate numbers in general, but less data is available on this

[xensilverquill]

It's also worth noting that Nolan's take on The Odyssey was primarily informed by the translation by the classicist Emily Wilson (see below):

the best fanfic is the one the author had fun writing actually.

[thetrekkiehasthephonebox]

the second best is the one the author used to work through some issues.

[mikkeneko]

the third best is the one the author wrote out of spite due to some really dogshit discourse going on in their fandom
