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

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

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

I (and probably a lot of other people) found the garlic test scene in Sinners reminiscent of the blood test scene in John Carpenter's The Thing but I just thought of another scene in Sinners that reminded me of Carpenter's 1982 horror classic. Spoilers for both The Thing and Sinners btw.

When we are first introduced to the vampire Remmick he is being hunted by Choctaw vampire hunters. He seeks shelter with an American couple who offer him protection from his pursuers. The lead hunter warns them of Remmick but is ignored. Remmick then kills the couple and assimilates them into his vampire hivemind.

The Thing opens with the Thing (in the disguise of a dog) being hunted by Norwegian researchers. The Thing seeks shelter with a group of American researchers who protect it from its pursuers. One of the Norwegians tries to the Americans of the Thing but he isn't understood and is ignored. The Thing then kills the Americans and assimilates them into it.

In both movies a creature pretending to be something it isn't (a human and a dog) is being hunted by a group of non-English speakers. The creature seeks shelter with, and is offered protection by, a group of Americans. The non-English speakers attempt to warn the Americans of the creature but are ignored. The creature then kills the Americans and makes them one with it. The non-English speakers who were hunting the creature are also never seen again after their introductory scene (the Norwegians are killed when they try to kill the Thing and the Choctaw just leave the moment the Sun goes down).

Coincidence? Maybe, but I wouldn't blame Ryan Coogler for taking inspiration from The Thing. Both movies are amazing and I love them.

I understand what your going for here but this entirely flattens the racialised element of this part of the film. The KKK couple choose to ignore the warning of the Choctaw vampire hunters (who speak English perfectly fine). In The Thing there was a language barrier, in Sinners white supremacists CHOSE not to listen to indigenous people who knew more than them in favour of letting a stranger into their home who had spun some lie about his wife being raped by native Americans.

As a society we have benefited so much from successful public health measures that we now have the privilege of declaring that we must not need them anymore

Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that don’t use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%— in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people

I’m literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history

You might say “oh well today we all have access to vitamins and toothpastes and dentists so we don’t need those things in our food supplies” and boy do white people on social media loooove to fucking say that. But here’s the thing: no, people don’t all have easy access to those things. That’s privilege talking yet again

lot of terfs have been reblogging this so I may as well publicly state that the woman on the right is modeled with permission after my transfemme friend. if you relate to it as strongly as many of you claim in the tags I urge you to reflect upon that with empathy and compassion about the depth of experiences you truly do share with trans women.

otherwise fuck off I guess. my art is not fuel for your hatred.
