Feels rote to say “this is just Meta doing to more people what they always did to sex workers…” but it could not be more obvious, especially when they justify removing sexual and reproductive health information for violating their own “human trafficking” policy

Considering the way these companies move who is maintaining independent verification of these documents ?
Gemini’s ability to read handwritten archival documents has importance beyond the humanities. It opens new frontiers for scientific research and collaboration with the humanities.

The “peace plan” for Ukraine is just a framework for Russia & the US to take assets away from Ukrainian recovery, and to ensure Russia evades accountability for war crimes
Europe can, and must, craft better with Ukraine

On <redacted> we had a job code for client art direction. We were able to show how much money had been spent on clients art directing work that had already been art directed by an actual art director. It was literally the "I do it you watch me" design meme. Things changed quick when it had a cost!

I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

Did you know that less than 1% of ppl have different coloured eyes [heterochromia]? One of the most famous is Henry Cavill. The same % of ppl are trans. Both are normal conditions. It would be crazy to persecute ppl with heterochromia. It’s crazy to persecute trans ppl.

this passage from Nicole Chung's recent article about open adoptions stood out to me. we adoptees face enormous social/cultural pressure to voice nothing but good feelings about #adoption, lest we be sanctioned for letting our "bad experiences" "speak for everyone," or be depicted as ungrateful.

I'm starting to really believe that the only way to get a runaway success is for companies to fund like 20 new projects, 19 of them will either fail or make no impression, and then the 20th will resonate with audiences and create tons of merch opportunities like Bluey or KPop Demon Hunters

Every streaming platform and studio WANTS a KPop Demon Hunters. Would KILL for a KPop Demon Hunters.
But 99% of them would have never funded the proposal in a million years.
That's the big issue now, IMO.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

but why would you do that when you could burn it on site for heat and/or power generation, instead of giving some gas pipeline utility fuel (lol) for their bullshit (lol) about how they’re gonna heat your house with trash gas
