It’s so childish, the position of President used to be honorable and respected, now he’s a joke. He’s the literal naked Emperor. People enabled this ish from him

Reminder! Block and ignore. It’s clear from the heat that’s being turned up on this place that the powers that be can’t stand that they can’t control this place. Just block and ignore.

What does it mean when the more you unmask the more unrelatable and insecure you feel? Like it’s a lot easier to just fake it fake it fake it fake it - isn’t wearing faking it like armor just faking it until you make it? I already am a weird eccentric but I’m so much weirder than I even share

I haven’t written a lot in the last few years as I’d like. The problem is that when writing I open myself up and it all tumbles out…

If the complaint people have about you is that you’re expensive - take it as a compliment instead. You value yourself. That’s a good thing. The people who get paid are the ones that price themselves to get paid. #creative #selfemployed #photographer

Meh. Another production of Little Shop where they try to make Audrey 2 an actor. Can’t tech and puppetry have something? Let them have Little Shop! Making the puppet believable IS ESSENTIAL TO THE SHOW. When someone comes out to ‘act’ it i appreciate the effort but it loses believability instantly.

I was skeptical the new "custom AI movies" thing was going to work, but I tried it last night and there, on screen, was Spiderman banging my wife. Later we watched a Tom Cruise film and he too banged my wife. And when we put on an old Marx Brothers movie, all of them were going to town, on my wife

this movement. It’s not God or whatever BS you think it is - it’s the lack of logic in the face of how obvious it all is. Like this dude will fight me w an AI article before acknowledging the only way to interpret that quote is bullying someone. Skyis blue no matter how hard you try to purple it.🧵

I point out the real problem is that if he acknowledged the very real article he could make legit arguments like, hey, we aren’t all nice or kind all the time. I asked him to find where Kirk apologized for the comment etc. and the final point I make: this is what terrifies people about 🪡

Like not only is it AI but it doesn’t even provide proof for this dude’s argument in any valid way. He’s stuck on this ‘report’. Basically we go back and forth and I end up just saying if he thinks the quote is ok then we don’t agree on what is nice or kind. It kinda devolves. But ultimately…🪡

…taking care of them like the ‘50’s. Full video, full quote, article with context. He comes back with a fully AI generated Grok article that claims that Kirk never called for violence, but worse, acknowledges the quote, acknowledges that TP is the source saying he’s never done that…🪡

Through a series of posts I reaffirmed what’s terrifying about the World right now. Going back and forth on a post re:Kirk w fellow community member who typically is a pretty smart nice older guy. He makes argument that CK was a ‘nice guy’, I point out his quote: re trans folks and 🧵
