Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”

When I was 15 the marine recruiter at my school told me I “look like that bitch from showgirls”

reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011
all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful

I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

I called again. We are in critical times, here is my rough script:
-Thanks for the NO vote
-Retrain/reform is not enough
-Protocols exist, they just ignore (like below)
-Abolish/prosecute=key messaging
-They can't be enacted now but shift pub opinion (for future legislation and fire Miller now)
