Clayface is the 3rd DCU theatrical release? That's weird. It may be good, but a second tier villain is weird. But, hey @jamesgunn.bsky.social, you know what I'd like to see adapted?

AI detection uses AI. That's ironic. And studies show, and studies can n be manipulated, that AI detection can be as low as 10-20% accurate. Recent events show, however, that it can be used in racial bias. AI isn't racist, but those making determinations on unprovable data are.

The spots on my face weren't any different from when I visited 2+ year ago, only bigger. So they performed some cryosurgery. Brrr. They didn't tell me, or I didn't listen (probably), that it would be super ugly looking. But as it turns out, I already was so no one noticed.
