Semi-random thinking of Naoko Takeuchi saying they put us in the POV of men too often in the original Sailor Moon cartoon and Rumiko Takahashi complaining about the Nazi-fanboys in the original Urusei Yatsura anime.

The NHS is already one of the biggest perpetrators of anti-trans violence in the UK. This new guidance, which refers to trans people using slurs, demands that we be segregated and abused. I’ve said it before: senior NHS managers must be sacked and punished for what they’ve done to us.
This will kill people
Gouache painting from a photo I took this summer. I saw this stunning sunset that looked like something from a Studio Ghibli movie so I had to paint it! 😊🌿💖
“We can’t stop AI! We can’t stop progress!” My dudes, ladies, and genderqueer buddies: we have stopped using a lot of things. Especially shitty things that harm us. Remember how station wagons had backwards facing seats until they realized that’s begging for injuries in an accident?
I have to make an effort to remember that "WSJ" can mean "Wall Street Journal," because I automatically read it as "Weekly Shonen Jump."
There's NO ethical use of this technology as long as it's built on theft, environmentally harmful, damaging to systems of information and education, our own well-being, and lining the pockets of billionaires. Even if this were all somehow "solved", IMO there's no place for AI in arts, period.
Oh, cool, they’re going to “explain”, ie equivocate. Everybody get their bingo cards ready! “It’s inevitable!” “We’ll be left behind!” “Writers have always adopted new technologies!” “You meanies really hurt the AI boosters’ feelings and need to apologize!”
We understand the strength of feeling this AI Charter has provoked & that more explanation is needed. We will publish a blog tomorrow detailing why, in a vacuum of regulation, this charter demands more transparency & accountability from organisations on how they are using AI now and in the future.
"I can't even draw a stick figure" yes you can, shut the fuck up
people keep making movies where the premise is "it's kind of like a man but it looks like a monstrous freak but it's nice and sexy and doesn't abuse the woman so it's basically the most romantic thing ever" and men keep not getting it.
Is this supposed to discourage me from seeing the movie?
It's not "okay" -- it's required! Our shared fundamental duty! No rules here. Don't treat them nice. Give them exactly what they've earned.
Actually it’s okay to be mean to Nazis
The last half of this quote wasn't circulating nearly as much yesterday, but it's actually the clincher. God bless this brilliant, gifted, absolutely deranged man.
Nic Cage:
That's a very good point about the cartoon network and other leaks that I feel like is understated in all this Companies keeping all of their production materials so private that not even the people who worked on it can access it is 100% an anti-worker measure
325gb of art and material that artists and animators weren't allowed to use in portfolios to keep themselves fed.

some potential usefulness here for the ai / cigarettes analogy
Just try it out once, you won't get addicted - the Marlboro Brand Font & Logo Generator is live now! As requested by absolutely no one.
You are loved. Even by a stranger. Even if you cannot see, hear, or feel it. Even if you dislike me for whatever reason, you are loved by me for simply being. The mere act of even the smallest infinitesimal amount of joy is both defiance, persistence, insistence, and resistance. Spread that.
My cousin organized a series of masked concerts in NYC so immunocompromised and other covid-conscious folks can still enjoy live music events, and is raising funds so he can keep doing so! Love and appreciation to anyone able to chip in 🙏🏾♥️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/pos...

Yall wanna see a puppy with hiccups getting mad
people are losing their minds over Ecosia switching their AI partner, but I'm still stuck on the fact they integrate AI at all, as a business that claims to be fighting for climate and environment, huhhhh
I watched a lovely, capable person dissolve into a jumpy, near-tears wreck because the “solutions” copilot was giving her about her laptop didn’t work. “I don’t know what to do,” she said despairingly. There were still plenty of things left to try. She just couldn’t conceive of them.
Using AI for just 10 minutes erodes your ability to persist at hard things - Berkeley News
A UC Berkeley researcher co-authored a study that raises profound questions about how we interact with artificial intelligence in education — and daily life.
