[what-even-is-thiss]

I do not celebrate death on principle but I do find it interesting that Charlie Kirk died via the thing he advocated for. Like who’s writing this political novel we’re living in. The symbolism’s a bit heavy handed if you ask me.

[what-even-is-thiss]

He was basically pro school shooting and then got shot in a school. Like. I mean.

[what-even-is-thiss]

And he was debating someone about gun violence while it happened. 1940s sci-fi levels of heavy handedness.

[yaoiblackmold]

He got shot while answering a question about the numbers of mass shootings in America, too. His last words were literally "gang violence"

[what-even-is-thiss]

I don’t believe in karma but if I did I’d say that’s a pretty good sign that he’s about to be reincarnated as a mosquito.

[trickstertime]

Also, his last post on Instagram had the quote "play certain games, win certain prizes". Like, who tf is writing this season?? Chekov's gun was not only shown, it was swung around with wild abandon surrounded by big flashing arrows pointing at it.

[weedstoner]

fyi was watching the news at my parents' house and the way he's being described by mainstream news outlets is as "someone who reached across the aisle to try to engage progressives in healthy debate" and it's absolutely imperative that we do not let him be remembered in this way. we are not going to revise history and pretend he has ever done anything other than lob logical fallacy after logical fallacy at a bunch of college kids so he can clip it into flashy videos for his youtube channel. he did not argue in good faith, he did not try to find common ground with liberals or lefties, he would sit in an auditorium for hours dodging questions or making ad hominem arguments or bringing up non sequiturs until his time was up. there was no intellectual engagement happening here. I think it was probably a fun debate exercise for the college students to be able to identify logical fallacies in action, but nothing of substance was being argued or discussed or acquiesced upon. his two goals were to make fun of libtards and to give young white men nazi talking points coated in a veneer of social acceptance.

"why did you stop writing your story!!! never stop writing!!!!!!!!!!!" well you see the character had to drive one mile to a new location and the sentence "she got into the car" was quite simply my undoing

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

let's put Scooby and the gang in a genuine horror movie situation, i wanna see what these freaks are truly capable of

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

"didn't they already do this with—" no. put them in a slasher film. put them in a BLOODBATH. put this van full of weirdoes in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre scenario i have FAITH in them

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

THEY'D DO WELL IN SAW

[batneko]

okay I'm thinking about this

not Saw specifically but a slasher with a legit body count. Summer camp slashers are overplayed but I think it really works because it's the type of thing the Scooby gang WOULD get caught up in.

like some of the counselors didn't show up (got got) so the head counselor calls his younger cousin to see if him and his friends can fill in last minute. They show up and they're a bunch of nerds, one of them even has an anxiety dog, and they don't have a big role at first. It seems like the movie is setting them up as cannon fodder.

and then the deaths start and suddenly the nerds are locked the fuck in. The little one with the glasses actually fixed the phone line and is taking stock of all their supplies in case the vehicles go out. The counselor's cousin who seemed like a himbo has set up a perimeter and made makeshift alarms for all the doors and windows, knows all the entry points. The anxious one and his dog are keeping the mood up with the snacks and activities that were supposed to be for the kids, making sure nobody panics and starts making dumb decisions. Somebody tried to grab the redhead and she flipped him over and had him zip-tied before anybody noticed. Weren't they a D&D group or something? What is happening???

As AI art gets harder to clock, I feel like we are going to need to have a discussion about attribution and it's probably going to bum some people out.

Because the surest way to avoid platforming, reblogging, or encouraging AI art posting is to know where every image you share originated and that's 1) boring, tedious research and 2) extremely limiting in what you feel you can reblog. But if unattributed images never gets traction, people will start attributing their images.

I've been guilty of this in the past, but for a while now it's been my policy that if I can't verify the origin, I don't share the image. That goes for stuff like screen grabs of headlines too -- more than once I've avoided spreading misinformation by saving a post to research before I reblog, then seeing the post refuted before I've been able to verify it.

And I usually try to attribute photos I take -- case in point, the "woman with shrimp" post gets a lot of attention but not one comment about it being AI, despite it being pretty similar to something you'd get from an AI. That's because I clearly state it's in a museum and link to its catalogue page.

I'm not saying this to scold anyone -- I think yelling at the Internet to cite its sources is very much a losing game -- but because I don't see this discussed much. We're such fertile ground to be fooled by AI art because we've grown accustomed to not questioning the origins of any given image. And of course I also want to encourage both OPs to attribute their images and rebloggers to verify unattributed ones.
