bluesky is using AI, fourthwall is using AI, patreon is using AI, twitch is using AI, my tiny german internet host in the middle of nowhere is using AI - unfortunately everything tech related will be touched by this shit somehow. all you can do is disable it best you can and tell them it sucks

there's an insta account I follow that posts up clips and pics of Glasgow from the past, and it blows my mind that people see a clip from, say, the 90s, when Glasgow was in a complete state, desperate addicts everywhere etc, and post "ah yes back when it was nice and safe" and they mean ONE THING

The whole discourse about Glasgow city centre being unsafe in 2026 genuinely feels like a psyop at this point because it is so completely at odds with observable reality.

Adding alt text to this message to make it more accessible for people who use screen readers. It's an Instagram story from Danny Trejo's daughter, about his involvement in that Daily Wire-produced film. The short story is that according to him, he was duped into it and is now trapped under contract.

For anyone seeing this shit with my dad...

He was booked on a film, it's not pro-ice, it's not overtly pro anything. His agent described it as "a complicated story about a complicated time, where everyone looks bad except you, the hardworking Mexican shop owner who just wants peace"

He jumped at the idea of playing a good guy.

About 2 weeks into shooting everyone, including us, found out Ben Shapiro was involved.

My 82 year old dad has never heard of Ben Shapiro, I had to explain to him who that is, and what kind of guy he is.

My dad contractually can't bad mouth him, the film, or walk away without being sued for breach of contract. He can't even release the statement he wanted to.

It's fucked up. He's handcuffed to this stupid project, and swaths of people have instantly turned their back on him without knowing any of the facts.

Ben Shapiro got Mexicans to abandon one of their heroes, got his own name to the top of google's searches, and made us look like angry fools lacking any nuance. he wins.

This is from Danny Trejo’s daughter. I couldn’t figure out how he got involved with it. Looks like Shapiro duped Trejo, which isn’t surprising. I won’t watch the movie

There's a guy in my replies who says he doens't read women because they write well about emotional conflicts and unrequited love and that's not what he wants. He reads sci fi he says. Can you imagine reading sci-fi and not reading Octavia Butler? Or Ursula K Le Guin? Or NK Jemisin?
