By that I mean the bill seems imperfect at best. Despite seemingly good intentions. I can't help but get bad vibes from how quickly it was pushed though, I feel a lot of things have been overlooked, unrefined or conveniently and willfully ignored for profit (as the two major parties tend to do.)

I guess I'm desensitised from it because of how frequently I see it lately, but I also feel like having a "that's just the world, man" attitude about it isn't correct either. The least I could do is express my sympathy and frustration. How can I save for a future when I don't see one for my peers?

You can blame me for being an "avocado toast, buy a coffee a day kid" but the world as we know is kinda unravelling. The juxtaposition on seeing a make up tutorial or food review after seeing what's happening in Gaza or Ukraine or the US has really got me confused.

Every time I see it at any sort of event, a piece of me gets worn down. Especially in places like an artist's alley. You have all these hardworking artists actually practicing and using their skills to produce artworks, and then some dork uses AI, slaps it on a banner and calls it a day. It sucks!

We can hope, but lately I feel like it's more "the blind leading the blind." 😮‍💨

At this point, I feel it's not even due to lack of awareness. I don't think people "fall" for it as much as they just simply don't care, or have dismissed warnings as "a bunch of nonsense." Just like a lot of very real warnings about a lot of other, more prevalent topics of late, I've found.

Because it's still the best excuse Elon or any other tech bro can use to slap on a product to justify charging more and then asking for a subscription on top whilst saying it's "the next step forward" and "an evolution in technology as we know it."

Watch it all get swept away and the attention redirected onto more horrors The US will unleash. Just like anything they've done that deserves criticism. Watch the media create more frantic fear on the next atrocity they commit. The sooner they move on, the sooner you forget. Don't forget this.

...people (and/or characters) to me. The fact that I have a little connection to those above in however small the fraction makes me feel like a bigger part of a whole.

So if you read this far, consider who you share a birthday with, as you might find traits you look up to or want to emulate too. 💖

There are also several other people I could name who share my birthday, but I personally don't know enough about them, don't really vibe with them, or don't feel like they should be platformed any more then they already are.

The people above are coincidentally some of the most influential...
