North Korea is an evil country according to CIA reports, unlike mine, the Democratic paradise with five colonies, two public prison death concentration camps which are famous for violating human rights, the poor children kidnapping centers and the $800B military industry of killing civilians abroad :)
the way people treat girl characters in fandom joker-ifies me
no no please go on. explain to me again. why you find the girl that does arguably less annoying and extremely realistic things for a person in their situation is MORE annoying to you than her guy counterparts. please explain to me why you never talk about her. please explain why even though shes also a main character you couldnt even describe two of her character traits btu you can write an entire essay on why those men suck eachother off. please. come closer. im a normal cat
I am so damn pleased with the Sedgwick County Zoo media team, y’all. They just dropped a stellar blog piece on why GenAI slop videos of animals are such a problem - and how to identify them!
This is the first time I’ve ever seen a zoo or aquarium in the United States speak up broadly about AI. (The only times I can think of any comment at all has maybe individual instances when a deepfake of “their” animal escaping is circulating.) And they did a great job with this piece! It’s succinct, easy to read, and written in a way that doesn’t shame people for engaging with AI content before they knew better.
I think this is exactly the type of resource needed for sending to that family member or friend we all have - the one who isn’t aware of the slop issue and constantly sends you clearly fake videos because they’re “so cute.”
I’d love to have Sedgwick get some public positive reinforcement for taking this stance. If you’re so inclined, a comment on their FB post would be great as it’s likely they’re going to get shit for this from sloppers & co. We really do need animal organizations to stand up for accurate, real animal content and this is a great first step in that direction.
“men aren’t inherently evil” is a sentence I agree with but im going to need a lot more information about what types of arguments you’re getting into where you feel the need to say that before I sign on
“Never let your enemy tell you how many of you there are. Never let the man that you’re against form your opinions. This is the trick that’s played on everyone who’s oppressed: when you have a revolution in a country, the first thing you take over is the radio. Then, you start telling the people that the war is over, so all of them surrender. They believe that thing right there.
And once they take that over, they start telling you where you are and where they are, and you fall right in line — it’s plain thought control.
The majority of the American people aren’t segregationists. The majority of the American people aren’t imperialists. But the government is. The structure is. The power faction is. So, how, then, do all the majority go along with it?
Because those who sit in power over the television, over the radio, and over the press is constantly telling those who are the masses how free they are, how this they are, and how that they are.”
