Full disclaimer going forward: if I do an anything, at all, period, assume I am either up in the middle of the night doing cryptid shit and didn't have the care or focus to make it coherent, or I was up during my sleep time (0600-1800) and was too sleep deprived to make any sense.
If you have proof otherwise, your either lying or have a bunch of blurry pictures you'll never sell. Congrats either way 👍🦊🔥

Democrats are decent people in a country groomed by Russians.
Republicans in Congress are compromised. Follow the rubles. Conservative media is propaganda. FOX and NewsMax are deliberate merchants of disinformation. Conservatives SCOTUS are venal scumbags who perjure reflexively. The bribes are in the multi-millions.
Republican electorate will pay to be lied to. The willingness to hear and repeat an untruth is sacred and revered.
The myth of white superiority is dead and Republicans are riding the corpse off a cliff.
shapeshift!
the energy I bring to every conversation about politics
The Old Magic persists because nobody remembers how to turn it off.
If you know you know.

This reply deserves to be in its own reblog lmao
I own a shirt that says exactly what the comment above says. And you would not -believe- the number of truly awkward interactions I've had that start with someone saying "so what's the second type?"
I can’t reblog with vids so have a play by play
huh weird.
If nobody ever explained this to you, if someone you see a lot does something you like and you never ever tell them that, they might think you don’t like them or don’t like the things they do for you.
If you like your sister’s cooking and have never ever told her that, she may very well think that you hate her cooking. If you like it when your friend drives you places and you never ever thank them, they might think you’re not grateful even if you are. If you like it when your partner does this or that thing for you they won’t know that unless you tell them.
Tell people in your life hey thanks for driving me, that was a great dinner, I like your singing, thanks for helping me with that. They don’t automatically know that you appreciate what they do.
learning this genuinely changed so much about my life and my interactions with other people.
how are you people alive.
theres an old cold war joke that goes like this: a KGB agent and a CIA agent meet up for drinks off the clock, and after a few drinks they start to talk shop. the CIA agent extols the strength of the Party's propaganda, "All your citizens believe the propaganda! it's incredible! So little dissent." and the KGB responds, "No my friend no, we are good at what we do, but you are the true masters of the art. No one at all questions your propaganda!" to which the CIA agent says, confused, "What do you mean? We don't have propaganda?"
Devastating to have more evidence that done IS better than perfect
Additionally, findings indicate that the act of doing shows you that you were not seeking perfection, you were fearing inadequacy
#oh that last line gutted me #is there a place between perfect and failure?
Good news! There is!
Bad news! It is called 'done'

Hayao Miyazaki on AI
EDIT: I took this from Bluesky without checking the full context (didn’t really think I needed to because it seemed like something Miyazaki would say. Still I should have) since then it has come to my attention that he was specifically talking about ableism here and not directly about AI.
I’m attaching the whole excerpt here:
