ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

It's pretty consistent across the board, regardless of what those women are doing--talking, existing, etc.

17% is actually the tipping point between "equal" and "dominating," and it shows up in audiences' perception of how many spoken lines male and female characters have in movies as well.

So I have been hearing my entire life that it is vitally important for private citizens to own guns to prevent government overreach and tyranny. Turns out what we actually needed was inflatable frog costumes.

Connie’s Sandstorm is one of the most unusual and captivating roses—a rare garden treasure. With swirling petals in tan-brown tones brushed with mauve, it offers a desert-inspired palette unlike any other rose in our collection. Its rarity and distinctive coloring make it highly sought after.

I would also say that astronomy, broadly speaking, is one of the oldest forms of science and it's done extremely well for humanity so far (navigation, huge impact on other fields such as optics and chemistry, etc.). Your work is a continuation of all of that.
