I basically just use my account as a way to keep track of cool stuff I like.
So, if you like the sort of stuff I like, you'll probably like the stuff I (re)post!

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.
This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.
They hate the helpers.
Which is why must keep helping.

Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

If you're using an AI image generator for commercial purposes (ie, to make illustrations for something you intend to sell), that sits somewhere in the realm of scams, spam, and plagiarism. It's unconscionable.
If you're using it to make images for your own enjoyment: fucking why

Asked a question on a work chat. Got patronised by someone telling me what prompt I should write to obtain the information I wanted to know from Gemini. It was a good prompt. It obtained accurate information. However, my original query was based on the fact that I know more than Gemini. Which I do.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.
No you don't.

do you think it’s a good sign that nearly every hobby subreddit now is mostly comprised of people posting pictures of random stuff they dug out of a closet asking “is this worth anything?”

Part of the reason "PSX horror" has become entrenched as a visual style actually is 1. availability of really good off-the-shelf assets, 2. extreme ease of making custom assets that seamlessly coexist with these off-the-shelf assets through that shared visual language
