What a great time to be alive

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.

this is the full quote.

His actual answer to AI is this which is just a few seconds after the insult to life speech. [source]

So JKR is anti asexual now to

Anti-asexual discourse has always been a canary in the mine when it comes to anti-LGBTQ stances. First it's trans people, than ace people, then gender non-conforming people, then bi people... it will just keep going until it's every queer person.

I looked up the tweet to confirm it was real (because even now it was shocking), and she doubles down (as she always does) in follow up tweets.

It’s always felt like the way TERFs hate Asexuals is related to the fact that we kinda fuck with their narrative by existing.

They can’t spread transphobia on the back of gender essentialism that says people with penises are animals with no impulse control, if simultaneously it’s generally understood that some people (which includes some people with penises) just don’t have that sexual impulse.

If asexuality is real then a lot of Radfem rhetoric starts falling apart.

Here's an accessible article I found on this as the Washington Post has a fee to be able to read. Overview on the wildlife refuge.

And I just want to remind people of what is happening at Boca Chica beach and wildlife refuge, the site of SpaceX's largest launch and test site. Here is a PBS shortfilm on it and what affects it has on the local community and local indigenous community. Here is an article on it more focused on the impacts on migratory birds.

If we do not put a stop to it, Johnston Atoll will face the same impacts, if not worse, as in Boca Chica and SpaceX's numerous other launch sites.

Not even mentioning that Johnston Atoll was perviously a launch site used by the U.S. government in the 60's and we know from the past what will happen to the ecosystem if it occurs again.
