“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

A close up of captain kirk getting his eyes scanned. It is cut off above the eyebrows and below his mouth.The same image in a thumbnail for Star Trek, the wrath of Khan. But AI has painted the rest of the image so that Kirk is a balding man in a business suit.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

we're really approaching a perfect storm of factors designed to drive up the costs of everything right now while simultaneously undermining the spending power of the global consumer economy. i'm not saying that to doom, it's not like nothing can be done, but we're looking at years of ramifications.

Kids, did you know that before the internet, it was highly unusual to see a real person die on video? They used to have urban legends about it, they called them "snuff films." Now we get autoplay videos of exploded soldiers and bloody mass shooting victims beamed right to our pockets.
