cw denial adjacent to the Holocaust, I guess? White people bullshit?
TIL there are people who earnestly argue that Jews didn't fight Hitler. If I encounter this without going looking for it or outside of a curated context, I might eat someone's kneecaps, but for now, I'm exhausted by knowing that.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

This is Porter. He became paralyzed after a spinal stroke. After weeks of physical therapy, this was the moment he realized he can feel his legs again. 14/10 we're so happy for him (IG: emmagraceferguson_)

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

![ID: A series of Twitter links pasted into Discord, followed by their previews, of tweets now no longer available. An English translation of Megumi Ogata's speech is split across six tweets. They are as follows.
Last night, Megumi Ogata (VA for Shinji/Evangelion, etc) won Best Voice Actress at the 16th Seiyu Award
In the speech, Ogata said, "Are you sure I should be getting Best Voice Actress? 70% of the roles I've done are boys and I don't really consider myself an actress." (1/x)
"There is so much talk about being "genderless" nowadays and there are voice actors in the industry who have come out [as queer]. And like myself, there are people out there who go on about their daily lives mostly not thinking of themselves as women." (2/x)
"Compared to actors who must show their faces on media, I think it's the voice actors who can advocate to go beyond the genders and put aside labels of 'male actors' and 'actresses.'" (3/x)
"I don't care about "male" or "female," and for the next award show, maybe you can just make it 2 awards without the labels. I think that could lead to more possibilities." (4/x)
"At first I somewhat thought about declining this award, but I decided to accept this for people who have created the titles with me..." (5/x)
"In the JP anime industry, actresses of my age don't get to play the protagonists. To be in such an industry, I thought that my award acceptance can be a positive influence, so I've decided to accept it. I'm sorry for sounding arrogant. I truly am happy for this."

re: Nicolle Good, there are videos going around without any spoilers of this murder taking place, so while I doubt I'll be the first post you see about it, JUST IN CASE, this is your warning that other folks are being weird about this and think we all need that in our intrusive imagery forever.

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture)
It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

As an aside, if anyone could help me find more recordings like this, I'd deeply appreciate it.
In my quest to find old broadcasts and archived recordings of my favourite actors of yesteryear reading poets and novels for our listening pleasure...
I found this compilation of Karloff and Redgrave reading some of Andersen's fairy tales, interspersed with tracks from Danny Kaye's biopic musical.

"a language is a dialect with an army and navy" is a principle that applies to a lot of things
just saw a headline refer to Maduro being "in custody"
was the Lindberg Baby 'in custody', were the US Embassy personnel in Iran 'in custody'?
I'm going insane!

contemptuous as I am of American news media, it's still jarring & nauseating seeing corporate outlets refer to kidnapping a head of state with Cop Speak like "captured" & "apprehended"
this stuff really does permeate society- if you tolerate it at any level it pollutes every level
