Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.

Personally I think more IPs should do the TF2 Pyro thing where they constantly make references to not knowing a character's gender but never actually answer the question. That in itself is a gender if you ask me.

Three panels from the "A Cold Day in Hell" TF2 comic. Three bears have located Soldier, Scout, and Pyro, stranded in Siberia with "Amelia Earhart's" downed plane. Soldier, thinking as hard as his little brain can, says "They couldn't have tracked us. We've been stealthy like shadows. Something must have BROUGHT them here." He continues, "There are only two things that attract bears... Honey... And MENSTRUATING WOMEN. My god, I knew it! Somehow I always knew! PYRO!" He points at a startled Pyro, who is busy putting on multiple T-shirts in lieu of a coat.

"Stop blocking the door!" Soldier steps in front of the door to the plane, pushing Pyro aside. There are crates labeled 'honey' piled up inside. "Good LORD! This plane is FILLED with honey! Amelia Earhart's famous sweet tooth has doomed us all!"

the constant reiteration from liberals etc that we should extend empathy to people who not only wish us dead but who've devoted their lives to violently creating and enforcing the devastating conditions for our premature deaths remains putrid as hell.

Love how folks are preemptively blaming the Left for the violence the fascists were already going to inflict regardless. "Things will only get worse because you celebrated." Don't fall for that stinky bullshit

Without comment:

Oct 12, 2022 - Screen grab of a tweet from Jason Campbell:

Still from the Charlie Kirk show Charlie speaking. Underneath the quote from Charlie reads a quote from Charlie’s broadcast that day:

“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage.”
