On Letterboxd you can add your 4 favorite films of all time. A while back I tried making a list of my favorite 100 films of all time, and I was cheating by slating 3 films by the same director on one spot or a whole film era by a studio as just slot. So I couldn't even do that. This site wants 4?O_O

watching a modern version of Hamlet. I keep thinking "They live in a world without Shakespeare. So does that mean they live in a world without any of his works? Or those works were done by someone else? And if there's someone else... Who wrote that version of Hamlet?" I'm also penciling comics.

This just reenforces bioessentialism around gender in sports. There are some sports where women beat men, where men beat women, some where it doesn't matter, frankly, people individually are distinct. The main reason we segregate on sex is to defund women's sports & reenforce bioessentialism.

"'AI is adverse to the idea of learning. An educational institution should be focused more on teaching us than making us ready for a job. I’m not measuring my success on a billionaire’s mindset. I want education for the sake of education. I want to learn.’” ht: Dagmar Monett

As Colorado universities align with ChatGPT, student AI resisters take a stand against the ‘plagiarism machine’

“The majority of my participants flat out don’t think AI has a place in education,” said Mirakle Wright, a CU graduate student who is studying resistance to artificial intelligence.

imagine walking into a gym and telling the trainer you want to be able to lift 200 lbs. The trainer tells you instead of building you up to that, they have a device you can wear and lift up to 400 lbs. right now. But you can only wear it in the gym and you can't buy it anywhere else. Just a thought.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

If a trans person makes a mistake and doesn't realize there's a unisex bathroom, they could be arrested and charged. This means that trans people are still banned from a large portion of public bathrooms in Idaho and it isn't always clear which ones they're banned from and which they aren't.

First they came for… This is not the first targeted attack on dissenters. They are going to keep doing this as long as people are unaware of what they are doing and they are not receiving much pushback. If you let them do this to those speaking out, you will no longer have people speaking out.

The AI rollout is an incredible test case for the power of capital to overrule everything in its way. An overwhelmingly stupid, obscenely polluting, and wildly dangerous set of technologies are being brute-forced into every part of our lives because money says so.

One of the biggest failures in human civilization is the idiocy of making the capital "I" looks exactly like a lower case "l"

New Song vs. Song episode and this one was fun! We brought on AJ Marks from Main Pod Girl and we argued which song got us dancing through the lockdowns, "Say So" by Doja Cat or "Levitating" by Dua Lipa, and why both of them seem to fall juuuuust short of main pop girl status
