Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

"[AI is used] to animate archival photographs...the once-still photos blink, laugh, and fidget, just as they might on film." Honestly, even if you like GenAI this is both lame and kinda works against idea of a documentary exposing the truth behind distorted history. decider.com/2026/10/09/a...

Ava DuVernay explains why AI was used in new documentary ‘14th:’ “People should see this”

Trans people didn't suddenly become a threat or do anything to deserve the way they are being treated. It was always a cynical political and ideological decision to use an innocent minority as a wedge to open the door to fascism and power. Being transphobic makes you a fascist collaborator.

What Cage has done for literally the past decade is exactly this, he finds a weird eccentric script by a first time filmmaker, signs on, his name brings in clout, he makes the film, and sometimes it's not very good. But it's still artistic as hell. This is why I *love* Cage.

AI doesn't "bring the archive to life" or to even "show what this looked like in color." The medium is the message, in the sense that there is never life in a photo, there is a material object with artifacts that memorialized technology as much as any moment. It's all more imagination avoidance

The modern conservative project explicitly supports impregnating children. The trans panic, anti-abortion politics, fearmongering about "over-medication" and disability support: it all comes back to a patriarchal freakout about losing control over who they see as their reproductive property.
