HAPPY BANGING OUT TUNES DAY

ROCKING out the tunes this year round
Do I have an essay due? Yes. But consider:
HAPPY NEIL DAY
economy is bit tough atm but she’s still banging out some tunes!
It’s still the 13th somewhere…right? Anyway one degree later and we’re still banging out the tunes!
me (whispering): dude i'm not playing hard to get, i'm playing hard to find. now shut up he's almost counted to 30
tldr: tumblr's 'based on your likes' suggestions show a dangerous inability to distinguish between 'political' posts
hey so does anyone know why Tumblr loves to recommend alt-right content to me 'based on my likes?'
this seems like a really dangerous facet of whatever suggestion algorithm Tumblr is using. if all 'political' posts are treated as one category, then me reblogging and liking a progressive post is the exact same, to it, as liking some random TERF's hate-filled rant.
I'm bothered by it because I am thankfully aware enough to recognise that no, these posts don't actually align with my likes and I am involuntarily being fed hateful garbage. however, I worry for the people who will inevitably be susceptible to the messaging in these posts at Some Point. they'll have a look and go 'you know what, I actually agree with that' and off down the pipeline they go.
I admit I might be biased because I don't check whether a post is 'based on my likes' if it seems like something I would actually like. I don't think this bears much relevance though because that should be the way the suggestions actually operate. it's content I go out of my way to avoid, but often it's a single image post and isn't tagged.
point being, this kind of system opens the door for hate and bigotry towards anyone, even people who are actively targeted by this kind of alt-right bullshit.
pearlll you are sooo special 2 mee, full of starss
Reblog if you are a human rights extremist who believes that all humans are equal and has no sense of loyalty to nation states.
the term "objectification" feels so watered down, lately. it is used almost like a joke, an ostentatious bow on a horrific experience. how many movies have i seen where the single female, wearing barely-anything, snaps - don't objectify me. the joke is, i think, that the movie will continue to objectify her. that her complaint is vapid and ignorant. objectification is to be expected, it is innate.
it is casual dehumanization.
how many podcasts by men about a woman's value. as a lesbian, this is funny when it isn't heartbreaking. men listen to other men talk about how to "get bitches"; these men are known to be detested by said bitches. it seems their methodology is one of a numbers game: to obtain the bitch in question, one simply has to keep trying an infinite number of times - they are not looking for a particular person or personality. yet if a bitch does seem interested; their value is inherently lowered by that desire. after all, why would you want to date someone who you pick up at a bar? this bitch - you do not need to get to know her. she is an object for your sexual desire, and should be discarded. every other bitch that denies your advance is a real bitch and you should discard her as well, it's not worth your time.
the male loneliness epidemic, i'm told, has nothing to do with sexism. rather, it is actually the fault of women, who are neglecting an emotional labor that is unpaid and unrewarded. women are supposed to be a man's entire emotional support structure; their sole nurturer, teacher, therapist (regardless of the number of women who reply that feels like i'm his mom). if a woman does not want to adhere to this incredibly luxurious one-sided effort, that is her fault. she is encouraging his loneliness. and sure, true, these men have often been told to view other men as potential threats, as rivals. true, these men have been cautioned against ever actually trusting a woman.
but after all, how are you going to feel emotionally close to an object?
the term is candid in its approach, and maybe that is half of the problem. something in the honesty of the word itself (object-ification) has rendered it unable to translate the sheer desolation of the experience.
there's an incorrect idea that to be objectified, one must be beautiful. that the objectification is only about desire. any fat woman can tell you differently. any person who is not an able-bodied white male can tell you differently. the law at times will tell you differently - treating a useless clump of cells as being more important than your human life.
and it is so pervasive as to become almost subatomic. how many times have women said when i find out a guy friend has only been my friend because he wants to fuck me, it ruins me. how many times have women said i love him but he literally sees me as a piece of meat. how many times have women begged and cajoled and pleaded their case, even in the smallness of their personal lives. how many of us have said i feel like you have no idea who i am. you aren't listening.
it can be fun to play in this space, of course. who doesn't like putting on lingerie and reminding him what he is dating. still, later, in bed and sticky, you'll think - shit. why do i need to be an object in order to be sexy? there's a thrill in being wanted, certainly.
an object in comparison, kind of. the object of the female body is so pervasive as to not even register to other women. the other day while playing a mobile game, my brother let out a little cry of alarm at what he saw on my phone - i hadn't realized the ad that had loaded was a gambling app's almost-porn.
i was told once that the reason models are so skinny is that they are not supposed to exist. the idea is that they are objects, that since the clothes are the art on display, these human people are actually more akin to coat hangers. why is it that i have been taught all models are stupid and vapid? surely they have internal lives and experiences, right? there's maybe a level of attractiveness a woman is allowed to be before the assumption is that she's stupid (but pretty).
it is very often in my life that i find myself trying to figure out what degree of attractiveness will force people take me seriously. if you are attractive in the "right way," that is acceptable. to be too-attractive or not-attractive-enough is abhorrent. even in professional spaces: my acceptance as a human person is somewhat defined by the aesthetic of my body.
an object to sell cars. an object to sell the video game. an object to sell gambling apps. an object to decorate your house as a live-in mother/maid.
at a bar with a coworker, he tells me that he isn't like other men; he reads books and paints his nails (and good for him). he takes a moment to sip his beer and then adds, "but i mean, i'm not like crazy about it."
like a person can be crazy about feminism.
hey girl r u from tennessee bc ur the only nine i. eight. seven. six? OH FUCK THE BOMB . I FORGOT ABOUT THE BOMB FUCK FUCK FUCK 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
I am slowly losing my mind over the shift towards video as the default media format.
I do not find this to be an efficient way to absorb information. I am bored and distracted by the time the largely unnecessary introduction is over. I can't use ctrl+f to find the specific information I'm looking for. If there are instructions to follow, I don't want to have to constantly pause and back up to the part I need.
At least give me a fucking transcript.
I can read faster than you can talk and these videos are wasting my time.
bringing this to tumblr because a realer thing has literally never been said
why are people so desperate to be able to hate things
did we all forget how to be nice? or like. if something makes you angry, to take a deep breath and let it go? MOVE ON???
can we be desperate to be empathetic and kind people for once fucking christ
neil. banging out them tunes for 20 years!!
Like a month ago I messaged a craft group about accessibility for wheelchairs and the answer I got was “there’s a lot of stairs but we have cute boys who can carry you”. And it’s…not good. As a wheelchair bound person I largely depend on people when I want to go out and do *anything* so I’m used to it, I laugh it off, make an annoyed post about it and off I go. But I wanna just say a thing real quick.
Even if I wasn’t gay, wasn’t a survivor scared of men, getting help as a disabled person is just…Not a pleasant thing to us! Imagine for a sec how you’d feel being carried up a flight of stairs. You’re a grown person. You’re being touched in an awkward way. You’d rather do it yourself. You’re So Uncomfortable. It’s not where I look for the beginning of a romantic relationship. So like…could abled people stop doing this thing where they think helping us in a condescending and infantilizing way is cute? Cause I’m real tired. Just get me a ramp or lift and I’m cool. I don’t need a dating service when I’m just trying to go about my day
If you’re abled please reblog it cause like…the more ppl knows the better
Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting

Hey do y’all remember when Boeing fucking killed a guy last year. And we all said “huh I guess Boeing fucking killed a guy” and then went on with our lives. And everybody knew that Boeing had fully just fucking executed a guy and nothing came of it. Like there was no police investigation no justice no nothing. Like literally EVERYBODY knew that Boeing had full on murdered a guy to silence him and there wasn’t any consequences for them. Kinda crazy.
and there was even less talk when openai did the exact same thing more recently
So for those who are, very understandably uninitiated on this story:
On 23 October last year (2024) the New York Times published an interview with former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji who worked on organising and gathering data for OpenAI until 2022 when he begun thinking about the morality of it. He eventually came to the conclusion that what OpenAI is doing blatantly violates copyright law and decided to leave the company altogether in August 2024.
After he came out with this accusation he was set to appear in court to testify against OpenAI’s data-gathering practices, something which had the potential of being a complete disaster for the company and the generative AI industry as a whole.
That was until 26 November, just days before he was due to appear in court, when he suddenly and mysteriously was found dead inside his own apartment. Investigators concluded that the death was self-inflicted, something which his family has disputed.
There was also “sign of struggle in the bathroom and looks like someone hit him in the bathroom based on blood spots”, and his apartment showed signs of having been ransacked for evidence: “The pin drive is missing. His computer was messed up.”.
Overall it feels pretty clear-cut what happened, that is to say that OpenAI had him killed because he was a legitimate threat to their business, indicating that they are fully aware that the way they’re gathering data is completely illegal.
