You've traveled this far on the back of every mistake,
ridden in dark-eyed and morose but calm as a house
after the TV set has been pitched out the upstairs
window. Harmless as a broken ax.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

I might need to unfollow some folks for the sake of my mental health.
I log on to bsky and it's just America being a fascist hellscape, Elon Musk being a Nazi, Ukraine getting fucked, and more murder, death and hate.
If I unfollow you, I promise it's not personal. I just can't right now.

I like the idea of the new Video Store on @letterboxd.social. Shout out those smaller movies that might struggle to find an audience.
But £16 just to rent a digital movie? No. That's way too much. That's Blu-ray money. For a movie I get to keep forever.
Nice concept, too expensive. Pass.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
