6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

Everytime you want to use AI to make some ridiculous image or video, ask yourself - is this worth the lives of Congolese people? droughts in low income US cities? exploitation of artists & cultural producers? extinction?

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

My problem with everything is that I know For A Fact that the purpose of life is frivolity. It is to fool around & pursue joy.

I think the coolest thing you can do right now is live with integrity and care about the people around you, not just your friends and family but your community. Deny the lie they want you to believe, that taking as much as you can while giving nothing back is the goal.

I *cannot* fucking stress this enough:
The threat of AI is *NOT* making movies for us, but the hundreds of jobs it will be able to easily eliminate from crew positions. VFX. Drone pilots. Color timing. Sound mixing. Clerical staff.
If we don't move to protect jobs NOW, they WILL go away forever.

Stopping vaccine development is another example of "eugenics is everywhere."
Expecting survival of the fittest when one gets infectious disease and cancer is eugenics.

Many women of color I know are taught their entire lives to work twice as hard but not get mad when they are still underpaid, under-promoted, under-recognized or had their ideas outright stolen. But many don't turn to conservatism in response.

Regardless of today's decision in the Hockey Canada trial, these are agreed upon facts :

- The players stopped at one point to document her saying she was okay.
- Hockey Canada believed her and paid her a settlement.
