I planted bronze fennel a few years ago in hopes of drawing in black swallowtail butterflies. This year I saw one caterpillar, but it disappeared. But just today I saw it flying through the backyard!

I see. So what you’re telling me is we need to organize a grassroots, civil-rights-style mobilization of the people to fight for the restoration of the germ theory of disease.

"Pornography" is a dog-whistle, same as "DEI" and "woke" — a pretext for broad censorship and repression of issues related sex and gender.

Unfortunately, too many on the left take it at face value ... and distance themselves from fights. We need much broader awareness and our allies to fight back.

Porn, Hentai, Porn artists at every level, Sex Workers ALL deserve their work to exist.

It's absolutely bullshit we're STILL having them attacked and demonized.

Support Sex works snd Porn
Y'all gotta get comfortable talking about pornography and defending its right to exist and for people to look at it, even if you don't (but especially if you DO).

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

My biggest issue with AI evangelism in our industry is that it treats creativity like a problem to be solved, and not an adventure to be had.

We already found out. Answer's "no".
Scientists have already investigated this. The result? The doctor pushing this junk science had his license revoked for spreading deadly lies about vaccines.
