Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

A system built to eat people never stops eating people.
The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.
They won't only be for brown and Black people.
The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.
The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

First off, you’re not going to like it, but you need to watch this because it’s the only way you’ll believe it exits.
Second, I had zero doubt they were drinking milk until they left “WHOLE MILK” on the screen for an unusually long time in a drippy white font, but now I’m convinced it’s semen.

No. If someone makes a movie of my work, it’s because that someone was a human who found something in the work that spoke to them — and that they felt would be a story that spoke to a whole AUDIENCE of actual humans.
Writers if you could drop your novel or short story into an AI and have it make a great and watchable movie out of your story, and you could sell that movie, would you do it? #writers #WritingCommunity

ICE spotted in Lawrence at the Iowa st. Burger King around 9:10 this morning. Reports I've heard so far (from my dad, who does immigration resettlement work locally) is 3-5 cars, 3 arrests made this morning.
Please share if you're able and be careful out there.

Apparently the mods see it as a “politics” issue, which isn’t allowed per the sub’s rules 🤯
Which is REALLY wild for a town that was burned to the ground TWICE bc it was abolitionist.

I keep seeing reports of ICE in our town on Reddit, but the mods for the town page keep removing them all and this is so incredibly upsetting.

We have a box of Milk Bones to make friends with the neighborhood dogs. We asked the lady walking her dog if we could give her dog one and she said yes. Turns out the dog is the kind who doesn’t like eating in front of others, so she tore ass back home and made the poor older lady run to keep up 😂

Either you don’t actually care about those things or you’re already negotiating yourself into accepting less rather than finding someone you believe in.
