I love stumbling onto those AI "artist" bios that are like:
"Passionate, innovative, transformative artist, breathing life into stories with visual masterpieces crafted in diverse mediums."
And then you see an ACTUAL artist's bio and it's like:
"I make dogshit. Post art sometimes. Fuck off."

AI is a completely unnecessary technology
Don't pollute my air. Don't pollute my timeline. Don't participate in the destruction of artist's and writer's and actor's livelihoods. Don't waste my bloody time.

TTRPG Creators: please, just say no to "AI." No AI background music, no AI-generated NPCs, no AI character art or podcast covers. It's *all* theft and it's *all* destructive.

I think cis ppl misunderstand the danger people like JS pose.
When the guy came for me, I had him blocked but bc he put me on blast, I got over 800 unique accounts sending me threats & suicide bait in *just a few hours*.
The only thing that saved me was locking my account which you CAN'T DO HERE.

Biden was designed to be a Placeholder President between two terms of Trump. This was obvious by spring 2021, when I first wrote about it, but people didn’t want to see it for what it was and got angry at me. Now the complicity is grinning. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/behold-a-p...

These hate groups are absolutely fucking rancid and the BBC still is allowed to cite them?! Vile
Earlier this year Bayswater's internal forums were exposed where evidence was uncovered of parents preventing their kids from accessing rape crisis and child line in case their gender identity might be affirmed. This is an organised child abuse network.
