When I started seriously collecting Transformers as an adult 20 years ago, Deluxes were $10 and Voyagers were $20.

Inflation is of course to be expected, and engineering has gotten more complex, but x3 price increase in 20 years for the mid-range impulse buy doll is *rough* and not normal.

You need to realize that this is not generative AI they're using. Generative AI is the AI we all wish would be burned to the ground. Meanwhile, the AI Innersloth is using is moderative AI, which can stop toxic teens from shouting racial slurs in the voice chat.

This is gross: Among Us 3D launched today with an option to opt into having all voice data captured and processed by an external AI company—whose privacy statement (www.modulate.ai/privacy-and-...) is clearly written by AI *and* doesn't clearly answer how collected data is used. AVOID.

NEW: Thousands protested when NYU Langone Hospital cut off healthcare for trans youth. Now, State Senator Kristen Gonzalez says the hospital has assured her they will resume treatment for children who'd been cut off from care.

Big win for protesting and organizing. Full story on Assigned Media:

The New York City hospital was one of the best known in the nation to acquiesce to Trump’s discriminatory anti-trans decree.

Actors are not asking for anything unreasonable with AI protections.

We have protections in every other area. Employers for television, film, animation, & commercials agree actors deserve AI protections.

The few companies we’re striking against are the only ones in the industry who don’t agree.

The unfortunate truth is that AI "art" has become normalized. It makes me sick but most people see no problem with the AI theft of real artists.

The bare minimum of protections is all we ask for.

I hope business agree to this deal but I won't be surprised if they don't.

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are.

After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

Welp, MAL is well and truly fucked.

Also, if you believe that admin statement, you're a bigger fool than the people in charge of MAL.

I believe in protecting your mental health however you can.

Don't let others tell you how to live your life or how to do things.

Indulge yourself: Watch a movie, read a book, build a model kit, paint something, do what makes YOU happy.

That's what I choose to believe.
