there are more serious problems with generative ai but the one that upsets me on the most visceral level is it being used to create cute animal contentslop. destroying THEIR environment and using their innocent likenesses and they don't even KNOW it makes me nauseous

I am usually in the camp of 'all reading is good' but in some very rare cases an absolute dunderhead will pick up a book and be like "the hobbits are a direct endorsement of fascist racial supremacy" and I don't think it's really helping them or anyone else, like maybe reading actually isn't for you

The internet created space for people to put words to their queerness and find community where they feel they can't find it irl, but I worry this is a stopgap that keeps many in a kind of arrested development who would pre-internet be forced to go out and find in person community

2 elected Democratic officials in Minnesota murdered 2 months ago - hardly any coverage
Charlie Kirk murdered 2 hours ago - nationwide attention and our Nazi leader advocating for flags at half mast for it
School shooting moments after Kirk's death - *crickets*
