No. It still gives her a boost and extra money to use for her hate campaigns. Just give up on it. There are plenty of better books, games and movies.

The generally male obsession with dick is fascinating, particularly with cis straight men. Like, as much as I get that it's about projection etc. I also wonder how much more queer the population actually is than is usually considered the norm.

Loving this series as an artist and a nerd for ancient history. (A perfect example of why I have a tiktok to follow people, even though I don't make videos myself.)

Black women unsurprisingly, are an undeserved demographic here: Black women make up more than 50% of new HIV diagnoses among women in the U.S. This is (your shocked face) a lot about access to health care and other systemic issues. (Button from Visual AIDS)

When this bubble pops government should absolutely not do any bailout. AI firms should pay $1 million for every false citation of book, article, court case that does not exist. Regulations needed pronto. I try to turn off AI over and over. Fine AI for reading my emails!

Work very part time at my job to keep me exposed to people and ideas, use that money to pay people to help me with my chores/to do list, models for life drawing, art supplies, and stuff like that. Probably attempt to save money for nice things and travel.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
