Palantir ist nicht „nur“ eine dystopische Massenüberwachungssoftware, es ist vor allem ein Trojanisches Pferd, mit dem Peter Thiel Demokratien weltweit in ein „Nerd Reich“ umwandeln will. 2010 hat er bereits offen gesagt: „I think technology is this incredible alternative to politics.”
“The initial founding vision was that we were going to use technology to change the whole world and basically overturn the monetary system of the world … We could never win an election on getting certain things because we were in such a small minority, but maybe you could unilaterally change the world without having to constantly convince people and beg people and plead with people who are never going to agree with you through technological means, and this is where I think technology is this incredible alternative to politics.”

I am so tired of people lecturing me on medusa and how I am supposed to feel about her when they don't even know that the version they're parrotting off a tiktok is Roman, and that gorgons have a rich symbolic history from long before the modern symbolism. I have a fucking archaeology degree.

The term "transmedia" is an academic term that refers to properties that span multiple formats. For instance, Pokemon, with its games, TV shows, toys and books, is a prime example of transmedia. On the other hand, K-Pop Demon Hunters isn't transmedia, because it is currently only a film. Thank you.

Mum suggested Neill after a puffin in a book when I was 'shopping around' for a new name. Tried out Neill for a bit but it wasn't quite right. Then I looked up what Puffin was in languages that weren't German [my native language]. Boom. Puffin. New name.

I need people to realize that "FLINTA" is not a synonym for "AFAB". There are AMAB Intersex, Nonbinary, Trans and Agender people! They are included in the I,N,T,A of FLINTA 🙄 This was brought to you by several of my classmates using "FLINTA" to only describe AFAB people who were socialized female.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.
Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches?
Greta Thunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here. The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation.
Reporter: Are you worried about the others?
Greta: Yes…I’m calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis.
Reporter: “Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?”
Greta Thunberg: “Because of racism.”

Whatever Frost says, he is literally funding anti-trans efforts with his labor. That matters more than a hypothetical about him maybe using his salary for good. I remember when y'all cut all GoT coverage because of the frequent depictions of sexual violence. It's time to do that for Potter.

But as long as there are muppets, singing frogs and boomerang fish, there's still hope.
A text post, black font on a white background, reading: I will never love The Muppets (2011) the way I do other muppet media, I have too many issues with it from the messy script to the massive plot hole with the phrasing of the Standard Rich and Famous Contract to the music [especially the music, boy have I got opinions there -] HOWEVER. One element of the film I could never hate is Walter. Especially not now. Because right now with the closing of the Muppet Courtyard and MuppetVision 3D, we as Muppet fans are Walter. We are watching a massive capitalism machine close up and demolish a place dedicated to the work of the muppets and the muppet writers, performers and artists. We are standing here, repeating the phrase "so long as there are muppets there is hope" in our minds as we watch the last big Jim Henson [person, not company] project disappear.  With all respect that is due, fuck Disney. Fuck capitalism. Fuck the mindset that the things that don't sell or attract as many people as companies want are no longer worthy of preserving and maintaining.

I do genuinely wonder how many people think what happened with Wikipedia is that “society accepted it” rather than that they put a ton of work into making it reliable, something that is not going to make AI reliable because no technology to actually understand meaning has been or can be invented.

There is literally no ethical use of genAI. 🔥 It's built on theft. 🔥 It consumes vast environmental resources. 🔥 It consumes vast financial resources to support it. No company currently touting their "ethical" genAI has attempted to address all three. Once they do then MAYBE a discussion begins.
