Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews.

The last 36 hours on X has been this on a massive scale against trans people.

The shooter was trans.

The shooter was a fan of Brenton Tarrant and Anders Breivik.

One of these pieces of information hit the press and one of them didn't.
For the record, I've seen enough to be pretty sure the Minneapolis shooter was trans, but I don't think it matters — cis people don't care whether it's false or true, just that it conforms with their existing bigotries so they can pretend to believe it

Tom Lehrer died today. He was one of the great comedians our culture ever produced. Without Tom, there's no Weird Al, probably no that entire branch of comedy.

He went alone and beat the odds.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers have killed a young Palestinian-American.

He was visiting from Florida, where he helped run his family ice cream shop.

Comes days after we asked senators if they knew how many Americans have been killed in Palestine & Lebanon since 10/7.

None did.

He is now the 7th.

I know your R reps are garbage and it feels pointless to call them.

But please call them today and tell them not to vote for Trump's murderous budget.

The call costs nothing. The fact that it MIGHT save lives is all that matters.

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

this is close to identical to the brand of torture pioneered by Portuguese dictator Antonio Salazar's regime, which from the '50s on had a partnership with the CIA whereby they trained Salazar's secret police and Portugal's political prisons were used as a laboratory for torture.
