Got discussing London 2012 opening ceremony with friends off the back of tonight's opening ceremony in Italy for the Winter Olympics and man, those were the days, when a floaty Voldemort could pop up and we could never envision it's creator turning into a villain just like him...

If you want to learn to make art, there are countless people out there willing to help you. The only thing is, you have to be willing to try. The AI pushers want what they perceive is the kudos for having made the art, but they don't want to try.

I'm good at some things I've spent a long time practicing. I'm not good at some things I haven't spent time on. I'm not good at some other things because I don't have the necessary body or brain for them. That's life!

I am certain that whenever someone posts about “gatekeeping art” or whatever, they’re talking about posting drawings online for clicks. They never mean arranging rocks in the back yard. They never mean whistling to yourself and finding a tune that makes you happy. They never mean napkin doodles.

On top of all this Labour Together is a transphobic hate group, spreading misleading anti-trans disinformation.
It deploys tropes and myths from “gender-critical”/far right transphobic propaganda and failed to include trans people’s perspective.
Entirely one-sided and dishonest.

I despair for the world when people fail to engage in reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.
Someone will make a statement that yes, you may not agree with, but when said statement is formed by their actual lived experience you need to take that into consideration.

You're just purposely being dumb and picking a fight now right? Because that's the only way you could be misreading this so badly.
She says that because that's her view formed by her lived experience where she "has never met a transphobe in real life"
Get some reading comprehension for god's sake.

A writing professor simping for AI is truly quite something, especially when people working in writing in all forms could lose livelihoods to AI.
oh, she's like, gone all in on AI. she has admitted to using AI on multiple occasions. despite telling me that she's "a fucking writing professor", she really seems to love making false equivalences and bad arguments.

Whoever at ITV came up with those in-stream/in-game adverts during #SixNations games needs fired in the morning and blacklisted from any media jobs.
Honestly the worst decision I've seen in a while.
