I have terrible grammar, both from inadequate education and a weird quasi-dyslexia that means I often read, write, and especially revise/edit crosswise. A blanket explanation

Worth a read. It's wild to me how far American society has regressed with respect to accepting transgender people, cross-dressing, gender-bending, etc. You couldn't turn on a TV, watch a movie or read a culture magazine in the 80s without seeing positive depictions.

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

- The funny thing is that that is indeed what Crumb in the 60s/70s is trying to do and failing miserably at - in fact, attempting to do that while also honoring the brain-vomiting-up-repetitious bit is what makes it so bad. Couching the same thing in therapy speak would only make it worse

It’s noteworthy that Sydney Sweeney has only recently started to say what she really thinks about all the Nazis who thought she was their Aryan goddess now that it’s a lot more obvious that MAGAWorld’s “popularity” has been revealed to be a mirage. I hope it’s because she has new management?

Actually my takeaway from this that the computing industry and computer touchers are addicted to the idea of the computer as a means of social control and behavioral manipulation, but are blinded to this fact because it is so engrained in the culture of tech that they can reproduce it endlessly

I think a lot of this is because people are still obsessed with 'keeping up' and 'living in the modern world' as a fundamental requirement of living in society - when everybody else is doing it (there's stories in these replies of AI music at restaurants and AI ads on network TV), why shouldn't you?
This recently happened with an artist friend of mine. Sent me slop; even proudly said, "Look, I made slop!"
I wrote back, "Don't do that—you're stealing from other artists and boiling the planet."
He replied, "I know that! I'm no angel—I also shop at Amazon!"
And that makes it better somehow?

Someone who once worked for this guy told me he was at a party where everyone was in one way or another, economically dependent upon him. Under those circumstances you don't get much pushback for dumb statements. When they do encounter that pushback, they think its wokeness that must be destroyed.

I feel like the dividing line in the very-near future isn't going to break down generationally so much as temperamentally - on one side there's going to be unconscious-Luddite older people and conscious-Luddite younger people, and on the other will be everyone who bought into tech completely

Jesus CHRIST this thread is frightening. Since I have a few older mutuals, if they would like to disabuse me of this to some degree that would be great
I'm gonna say this delicately, as the grandson of a woman who died of Alzheimer's and the son of a woman slowly slipping away of cancer: aging and illness do some truly out there things to the human brain.
