My middle school computer class literally spent months teaching us how to check our work and our citations. This was pre iPhone, pre laptops in class. And we were kids writing essays about The Hunger Games!!
Dr. Holly Walters@manigarm.bsky.social · 6mo agoI'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?
"GLP-1’s have revolutionized weight loss because of their ability to quiet hunger cues and limit appetite. This also happens to be what makes them so dangerous for people with eating disorders." I'm really glad people are talking about this. As someone with disordered eating, I'm freaked out.
The ‘Skinny Shot’ Relapse Problem

Ro Salarian@rosalarian.bsky.social · 6mo agoKickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.
Censoring depictions of regular degular "sexual gratification" is especially irritating because it implies that sexuality is a big bad scary thing we don't talk about and need to hide. It's absurd. Puritanism won't stop people engaging with porn, it just shames anyone who does.

She was the epitome of glamour in this movie. The scene where she dances in the bridal shop lives rent free in my mind. As a kid I was in awe of her (still am).

I would not be here without my medications. They get me to everyone else’s baseline. This absolute ghoul has no right to get between a patient and their doctor.

Many people I know wouldn't be alive if not for their medications. I certainly wouldn't still be here. I'm disgusted we're letting a con artist whose anti-vaxx nonsense has already gotten people killed now try to goad you into trying to stop the meds that are keeping you alive.

Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis morning at Hancock High, seniors headed to the floor of the gym to receive their caps and gowns, each from a teacher they had chosen. Stacy Campbell waited there, holding her student Israel Makoka's cap and gown. But he wouldn't come. He and his brother, Max, 15, had been taken by ICE.
Stop motion animation fascinates me because my brain cannot fathom the attention to detail and hyper focus it takes to do this.
Powflip@powflip.bsky.social · 7mo agoAs a child I was stumped on how they got the motion blur in this scene. It's claymation so it can't just be drawn in. Much later I found out that all the blur in the tracking and panning shots is actual *motion* blur. The sets were moved for a fraction of a second during each exposure!
I was a voracious reader as a kid and as a result had a pretty vast vocabulary for my age. Did I always deploy the words correctly? No, with pretty funny results at times, but I was a little sponge. My essays reflected that. Thankfully my teachers encouraged me rather than assuming I was cheating.
Dr. Damien P. Williams, dread portent down from a mountain cave@wolven.blacksky.app · 7mo agoI'll say it again, one of the worst things this rampant push to cram "generative AI" into everything has done is make people suspect bright kids of cheating when they're just nerdy or bookish or neurodivergent, sanding down their unique edges to fit into people's lowered, homogenized expectations.
Leaving Neverland is one of the most nauseating documentaries I’ve ever seen, and the fact that it’s no longer available to watch is a shame. The Michael Jackson Estate is vile and their smearing and silencing of his victims is horrific.
Men who have never had to care for anything or anyone spouting nonsense like this is infuriating. I bet none of them have had to give a spongebath or lift someone out of a chair or even make a damn meal.
Mike Hixenbaugh@mikehixenbaugh.com · 7mo agoWhile testifying last week, RFK Jr. dismissed Medicaid programs that pay families to care for disabled loved ones as “rife with fraud” and claimed that they pay people to complete menial tasks they “used to do as family members for free.” Disability rights advocates & family caregivers are furious.
"I just think if you’re going to enjoy his music, let’s also consider the fact that he liked to have sex with children and see how that affects your enjoyment, in all honesty."
“People Just Don’t Care”: ‘Leaving Neverland’ Director on Why Michael Jackson Won the Court of Public Opinion
Seven years after his explosive HBO doc, Dan Reed watches Hollywood cash in on a man he calls "worse than Jeffrey Epstein" with the biopic 'Michael' — and explains why nobody seems to mind.

This needs to be a movie, it’s so cinematic. Really well written!

This not only targets queer people, it also targets single people, unmarried partners, married couples with no children, and basically anyone who isn't in a heterosexual marriage with children

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.
