If you, as a Creative -are unable to understand why Creatives will have a problem w you using generative, thieving "AI" / LLMs in the Arts -can't grasp the nuance in the begrudging acceptance of ppl being anti-AI yet still using SM that uses it You are a deeply unserious person (& NOT a witch)

I haven't been right since Coraline died & it feels like I never will be again I keep trying to be cheerful and find things that bring me Joy but they are few and far between Besides being my heart, she was the Thing that cheered me up whenever I was down, and now that is gone I miss her so much

ALSO, "loneliness epidemic" implies that men are longing for connection and relationships But the comments they're showing are the exact opposite type of comments one would make if you wanted to actually, you know, get to KNOW a woman. These are objectifying, gross comments that lecherous men make.

"play on users' most basic instincts" "loneliness epidemic" MEN are the ones making these posts, not all "users." JFC, how can we begin to address this shit if society won't even be honest about WHO the problem IS I guarantee you that most lonely WOMEN & NONBINARY, etc ppl are NOT doing this shit

The thirst trap accounts highlight the unfortunate re-ality of what social media has turned into in the age of generative Al. Thanks to the proliferation of easy-to-use video generating tools, platforms like Facebook and Instagram are being flooded with basement-tier content designed to play on users' most basic instincts.

Worse yet, a massive subsection of users appear to be unaware that it's all fake, a phenomenon we first encountered years ago.

The reactions to these accounts' pleas for attention also highlight something far more bleak: a loneliness epidemic that has gripped the world, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Experts have found that the trend is closely linked to social media use, with apps like Facebook and Instagram making (sic) lonelier instead of fostering hu-man connection.

IT HAS ARRIVED AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL The B-Side is actually my very favorite song on the album, so I am ECSTATIC I absolutely LOVE that it comes w the lyrics, like an old school release. I am so fucking impressed w everything about THE VAMPIRE LESTAT & the MUSIC. Everyone deserves all the awards!

We started watching Shrinking out of desperation to have a new show to watch but goddamn it if it hasn't helped me process my grief/frame my trauma in a healthier way. Is this therapy?! The absolute pathetic capitalism in the surprise of getting genuine, helpful mental health care from a TV show πŸ™ƒ

LOL You can "want it" to change all you want. You gave us the tools to get rid of the Enemies of Tolerance & Freedom and Human Rights from our timelines and we will continue to be vigilant against any and all encroachment, forever and ever, Amen (& Hail, Satan.) 😈

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Re: Horror: I see many accounts from ppl saying they were too traumatized seeing something at a young age to want to dip another toe in for years And this is interesting to me because it was EXACTLY this TRAUMA that made me want to pursue MORE, both for the rush & to understand my visceral reaction

It's both illuminating & discouraging seeing how easily many in society are susceptible to Satanic Panic-style propaganda and hysteria Trans people in sports & in public bathrooms is this Vaccines not being safe is this Christians under attack is this Meanwhile the actual conspiracy gets ignored

MTV used to do actual journalism! And had cultural relevance! And played lots of interesting non-pop music! And lots of other things. Thank you, MTV for existing in the 1990s and having Alternative Nation, 120 Minutes, & Liquid Television. My friends and I couldn't have made it through without you.

It's weird to contemplate that I've lasted longer than MTV. A channel that seemed filled w a magical mix of eclectic eye-candy, vibrant music, & some truly bizarre/wonderful mini movies & performances when I was a kid. I'm sad for its trajectory, & anyone who grew up thinking MTV = reality shows
