My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.

Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

Yes, this. You aren’t changing minds, you are merely participating in engagement farming which benefits them more than it does you. It also sends an unfortunate message that their ideas are worth treating with *respect* and therefore socially *acceptable*. It suggests they offer a *legitimate* pov.

This baby was evacuated from Gaza and treated for starvation. He will never be the same physiologically as he would have been without being starved. But, even so, notice his attempt to smile in the photo on the left. That spirit shows why it is CRITICAL for us to fight to save these precious souls.

Image on the left of an underweight baby attempting to smile. Images on the right of the same baby crying in agony during starvation.

Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2
Suwar was evacuated from Gaza & underwent 6 weeks of intensive medical attention & nutrition
But his weight only increased from 3kg to 3.9kg
It'll take months & months & he'll never fully recover. The damage already done!
That's what genocide by starvation looks like; survivors of prolonged hunger would still suffer permanent & life-changing mental & physical damage. This includes muscle wasting, stunted growth, sepsis, meningitis, severe anemia, cardiovascular disease, hypertension & metabolic disorders...

A recent study found that "even 48 weeks after children recovered from acute malnutrition, they continued to show signs of inflammation in the gut and throughout their body, making them more likely to be readmitted to a hospital and die."
That damage is even passed down to descendants & future generations.
Israel's starvation of Gaza is a more potent & enduring form of genocide than bombs!
