Today in Facebook AI slop: Shostakovich, boy wizard

Today in Facebook AI slop: ah yes, the Oscar-nominated 1967 classic film Titanic, a tale of gender transition
Photo of Kate Winslet and Gloria Stuart at the 1997 Oscars. Extremely incorrect caption on the photo: “TIMELESS FACTS: In 1967, the film Titanic made Oscar history: for the first time, two actors Cathy Burns and Michael J. Pollard received Academy Award nominations for playing the same character at different ages.”

Second most upsetting thing is the very obvious art swaps for a few of the featured news items.

For example, swapping out a photo of two dark-haired olive-skinned folks for a picture of a blonde white man and three blonde kids, all white, all wearing white, is a choice
Before: DOD website image about “value of service” featuring two people of ambiguous race/ethnicity Department of aware website “value of service” image featuring a man and three light-haired children, all white, wearing white

The thing that upsets me most about the design changes from defense.gov to war.gov is that the Veterans Crisis Line has been removed from the footer of the site. Every design choice is a values statement.

Fancy Audio Technica turntable that I got for $20 at a yard sale is LIVE with a 75-cent RCA to stereo adapter, a Bluetooth transmitter and a speaker. Enjoying a moment of much-needed joy

Also noting for the record that the "National Design Studio" logo includes a US flag without the stars. TBH, removing the symbols representing individual states is a little too on the nose for this administration

Meeting a pug puppy in two pictures
A very tired tiny dog is being held in a human’s arms. His legs are dangly. He’s staring into space. A close-up picture of a tiny pug who is on his back, wall-eyed and wild, with his tongue sticking out of his mouth. On the edge of the frame, the noses of two larger dogs take turns pawing at him playfully

Yesterday it was Celine Dion’s queerbait-y transformation. That was…unexpected

Favorite comment: “Twink Dion could ruin my life and I’d be grateful”

Friends, this person is 57 years old and I salute her
Photo of a short-haired Celine Dion wearing a tight t-shirt and jeans sitting in the back of a truck with a very masculine pose. Her arms look thin but toned. She might be wearing a chest binder?

Once a day or so I fire up Instagram to check in on my friends’ posts and see what cursed content is being recommended to me by the meta-verse

Today it’s fitness content for preppers
Image of a person in exercise clothing against a backdrop of what appears to be fire and destruction. Headline says “Make it a habit - 10 minutes of Survival Calisthenics every morning. No excuses. We go till June.”

More like ridiculous and ridiculouser amirite

Respect for how absurd the plots/stunts have become over the course of the series to get us here, to “car jump off cliff and get picked up by plane”
Still from Fast and Furious 9. A car is sailing over a cliff and across a body of water

Welllll time for FATE OF THE FURIOUS (2017)

…which, it turns out, is actually a horror movie about networked devices
