I skeet/reskeet a lot of art related stuff & progressive politics. I block all AI/NFT/MAGA

The bullshit with Amazon last week? That was them trying to push their version of this out before Shopify did. They saw this coming and fumbled the ball.
Still sucks and I’ll still most likely disable it for as long as I’m still able to.

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.
"Receiving reports" my ass. AltNPS is not receiving reports of ICE raids in Saint Paul. They are seeing posts on social media like the rest of us.
I DO have loved ones in Saint Paul. ALL of my loved ones. They're terrified. Fuck you.

That discord AI survey going around was not fake, the URL is linked to Discords account with the survey providing website as it matches prior official usage
It is not stealing your account, nor are there "invisible AI bots" in your server that you have to ban

I am 60% sure this is AI. Why did the gun go off? The brown pants guy started slipping on his left foot, but the right one takes its place. There are no badges or patches on the plate carrier (which isn't abnormal, but blank/missing indicia is common in AI vids), the crack in the sidewalk disappears
Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

I didn’t know that the usernames became available again after 30 days. Someone has taken over @monkeyminion on Twitter. It is NOT me. I am on here, IG and FB, ONLY.
Archive and delete your content. Cancel your account. As soon as 30 days have passed, sign up again with the same username.
It starves X of content and prevents impersonation.

like last time (about crypto), pretty sure the discord survey about AI integration is something they'll use to show their shareholders to prove it's a bad investment. otherwise they wouldn't have had those super negative responses as choices.
you should still be overwhelmingly mean about it though.
