Only a few days left to catch this brilliant animated film made mostly by one guy over the course of 2 years. It's PWYC so no reason not to go check it out before it's gone.

Please please please bring this to Toronto.

Me too. It going to be an amazing performance, too bad it's being held in such a messed up country.

I get why techbros and their ilk like gen-AI: artists and writers to them are just an obstacle to be bypassed. But I'll never get an author/artist/musician who uses it. "I want to be a writer." No you don't. You fetishize ideas but hate the work. You don't respect the craft or its practitioners.

Doesn't work as a hashtag. It would become Therapist too often.

If you post or repost AI slop into my feed, I’ll unfollow you. I do not care if you think it’s a sick burn on one fascist psycho or another. There’s a decent chance I’ll tap the block button too. If you can’t grasp the connection between what AI is doing and fascist dehumanization, I can’t help you

Welcome! The Apartment is a great film not enough people have seen. It's in my top 5.

I loved this show. It's been part of the inspiration for more than one thing I've wrote.

I left the ex-bird site (there's a Monty Python skit in there somewhere) a while back. Lost a lot of contacts in exchange for keeping a few shards of sanity. It seems now another exodus has begun. Maybe we'll all re-find each other here.

There's a feature here that allows for blocking entire groups of people at once that might help keep the political chatter to a minimum.

I'm currently blocking this one:

Yup. And then she went and mocked videos of people expressing their distress at the orange guy being back in office.

Yay! Now I can follow you on an account where I'm not going anonymous like I am in the former bird site!

Tech companies paint a rosy picture about how AI can combat climate change.

But its threat to progress in the climate fight is real and immediate.

From supercharging disinformation *about* the crisis, to its massive use of electricity and water, it’s a recipe for climate chaos:

I recall more local government (Ford) showing an unwillingness to react. And in some cases the local police were actually sympathetic to the occupying group. ( twitter.com/roxannelwrig... & www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEVN... )

Well, this might be the most disgusting thing Will Sasso's ever done. Given the maturity level of some of the jokes on MadTV, that's saying something.
