frame: estimates of AI water usage are exaggerated / less than other industries
negation: actually these studies show it's still pretty bad and it's hard to make good estimates when they hide all the data

how much water does it take to disrupt the careers of millions of people? how much water does it take to make deepfakes of underage kids? how much water does it take to exacerbate people's mental health crises? is there a good number? is there an acceptable number?

"It's just concept art, who cares if they use genAI and not actual artists?"
Look at this concept art for C-3P0 by Ralph McQuarrie.
It's the very thing that inspired Anthony Daniels to go for the role of Threepio and perform him as such.
It is the first heartbeat of the art that now exists.

The man who stopped one of the Bondi Beach shooters is Ahmed El Ahmad, a Muslim man and 43 year old father of two.
He risked his life to save others, and reminded all of us that not all heroes wear capes.
He was shot twice and is in the hospital having surgery.
Please remember this man’s name.

Everyone is talking about how bad the flu is.
Media & healthcare facilities are pleading with people to get their flu shot.
To stay home when sick.
To wash their hands.
Very few are recommending masks. When we had mask mandates we eliminated an entire flu strain.

Awesome accessibility resource for those who need it!!
I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.
I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

I always supported legal assisted dying until I watched “Better Off Dead?” on BBC and seen how it’s weaponized against POC, the poor, the mentally ill, etc. Totally changed my perspective.
A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead.
There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere.
This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying

Please listen to the disabled person in your life.
It really IS that bad.
There is no quick fix.
The hospital can’t (or won’t) help.
We are the experts in our bodies and what we need is compassion and support, not judgement and guilt.

There's a post over on Twitter that I've been laughing to myself about. Some right-wing guy is celebrating that a school took down "All-Gender" bathroom signs and replaced them with "Single Occupancy Restroom" signs. And like... it's the same thing, man. You're celebrating a pointless relabeling.
