Some new followers lately, so here's a brief introduction:
Hi, I'm Miriam or Markus, whichever you like best.
You may call me a man. You may call me a woman. You may not call me cis.
I post in English, but I am German.

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.

My impression of online art communities:
Traditional art: Extremely chill, fairly anonymous, doesn't attract many big personalities
Digital art: Very drama-prone, roughly on the same level as fandom
Fiber arts: Abandon all hope ye who enter here

"Correct natural trajectory"!
Transphobes believe in teleology, confirmed a million times over. It's a basically pre-modern worldview that gets a lot of cover from the fact that it accords with our erroneous common-sense.
The scientific-world-conception is pro-trans, pre-modern mysticism is TERF.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.
The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

People kept telling me that I was wrong when I said most white cis people in the United States would rather their kids be sexually abused than be trans.
Guess what? I wasn't wrong.

He's also right about another thing I am constantly going on about, which is that a LOT of straight male behavior is fundamentally IDENTICAL to gay male behavior, masked ONLY by the fact that heterosexuality as a social construct relies on the constant denial of this plainly obvious fact

This is @glutelord.bsky.social and he's completely fucking correct. The fundamental tension at the heart of all incel culture is that these guys HATE women and refuse to appeal to them but desperately want to get laid anyway, and this contradiction can only really be resolved through violence

This is what the press does when they want to advance a bigoted argument but don't want to be held responsible. They launder the opinion through a representative to shield themselves from criticism. It's the same as the cottage industry of anti-trans LGBTQ people who have "renounced" their past ways
This is indistinguishable from right-wing anti-SJW agitprop

it’s insane that a decade ago we all agreed that giving mass shooters the attention they desired was a bad thing but now because rightwingers will quite literally lie about the shooter every single time we all have to be acutely aware of the shooters intentions and ideology

imagine if you were a vampire that lived for 100s of years but you just had a regular guy's memory. Like a normal person. "What was Venice like in the 14th century" Ahhh, I don't...I don't fucking remember. There was a guy, Vincenzo? Maybe that was the 15th century. Wait, did I live in Venice?

Even if anything AI produced could ever be considered "watchable", I would rather set myself on fire than have a machine cannibalize the work of my fellow creatives while burning up a rainforest at the same time.
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

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

I don't believe I've ever seen Ted Levine speak so candidly about his regrets of portraying Buffalo Bill in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. He and some of the crew on the film were asked about the film's cultural transphobia by The Hollywood Reporter.
