shit ton of people are repeating the thing about hayao miyazaki saying AI art is an "insult to life itself" and just as a reminder he was talking about the zombies that team made that were intended to be scary in how much they shook, but instead reminded him of his disabled friend. the insult to life itself was referring to the team trying to make scary real symptoms that people live with.

it was a quote about ableism. if he has said other things about AI type stuff, that is a different thing. but that specific quote was about ableism.

I love when household beasts are like whoa. You were gonna piss all on your own? No backup or companionship or anything? Babe. I got you. I'm right here. You don't have to be alone during this difficult time (pissing), and you won't be. Ever. This is not a discussion.

person who draws current seasons anime girl 3 cup sizes larger staring vacantly at the viewer would like for you to know what kind of art they consider "soulless"

‼️‼️We will die at any moment‼️‼️

The war has returned after 15 months of death and genocide. We have never rested. We are losing people every day, most of them children and women... The bombing is everywhere. Our children are afraid...The sound is frightening.😭

There is no food, no drink, no medicine, the crossing is closed and everything is expensive.

‼️We don't want to die. Please donate and help us so we can buy food and medicine for my mother and save ourselves from death. Just donate. 😭🙏😞🫂‼️

as an aside we really should use “defensive” more than “aggressive” when discussing wildlife. we tend to forget that humans are very large and frightening animals and that if an animal is being “aggressive” with you but not like trying to eat you, it’s probably because they feel threatened.

this goes for things like wasps btw. i know it’s not in vogue to acknowledge this but it’s true. “why are wasps such assholes” you are ten trillion times their size.

Within one week, between Tuesday March 18 and today March 24, Israel had:

1. Killed over 750 Palestinians in Gaza (x)

2. Committed the largest child massacre in its history (x)

3. Approved a "voluntary departure" plan in its cabinet (x)

4. Displaced Palestinian families in the West Bank with no prior notice from their homes (x)

5. Forcibly displaced people in Gaza under direct threat (x)

6. Its forces stood guard as its nasty settlers took over a Palestinian family's home as the family went out for iftar in Hebron (x)

7. Bombed and levelled Gaza's only remaining cancer treatment facility (x)

8. Bombed Nasser hospital, killing and injuring patients and medical staff (x)

9. Assassinated two journalists in Gaza within hours from each other (x)

10. Continued to prevent food, water, medicine and other essentials from entering besieged Gaza for the 24th day (x)

Do with this list what you will.

This one is really weird to me. I wonder why these results are like this. Have the 60.7% never played Duolingo? Thus they don't know how gameified Duolingo is? Or have they played Duolingo, but just never practiced learning a language in a non-gamified way, and so to them Duolingo is just what language learning is like, so to them it's only a language learning app/website, and not also a video game. Or does the 60.7% just have a stricter idea of what makes something a video game. Very interesting.

I have been thinking about this a lot and I believe it’s in large part due to people, even well-meaning allies, internalising decades of unchallenged Israeli propaganda about Palestinians.

i am a hunger games fan and have been since 2010, but could fellow grown-adult thg fans perhaps stop comparing every fascist development currently happening in the world to these YA novels written by a white woman? read more things. real world fascism and fighting it is far more complex than anything presented in thg. most adult thg fans can't even handle being told about the book's race and class politics. at this point, thg fans are to fascist policy what those white women who dress up as Handmaid's Tale handmaids are to reproductive rights. pls read more books. stories are great for helping us internalise ideas but pls stop trying to reframe real life like it's a trope in a story
