This is why barely anyone dances at clubs or gets really excited in public or really tries to express themselves other than online.
Some antisocial person with a smart phone is on standby, ready to capitalize on it for clout or a dollars of revenue sharing.

The great Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, passed away 11 years ago today.
He was just 55 years old when we lost him.
Iwata’s leadership of Nintendo and our industry will never be forgotten.
I miss him every day.
@AirCanada , I have delayed baggage (5 days). I’ve tried reaching out to your support team in multiple ways, with calling being the biggest insult as it’s an automated message with no support. How do I get direct help or someone to actually talk to about my missing baggage.
@Raynergy@AirCanada Me too @Raynergy Tried calling, and they just say “we are doing things differently! Sorry.” Then they hang up after the automated message with no recourse for actual communication.
@AirCanada Does the very best of Canada include making customers transit for over 40 hours without sleep, losing their luggage, refusing to communicate with the customer about the missing luggage, and then flying it to a different airport instead of shipping it as requested? Just curious.
Trying to rebook @AirCanada flight after an involuntary rebooking. I brought enough medicine to last the duration of my trip as specified by Japanese law, and I am now being sent to Korea which has different laws instead of home. No recourse or assistance available. Shameful.
My gaijin shield is in full effect today in Japan. 日本の皆さま, 私は有毒ではありません。約束します。 I promise I’m not harmful to stand next to while we are in line for the train together.
@VPsing06@Pontifex That’s the thing though, by using the language of “not replacing the human entirely”, you are making a tacit admission of the fact that something human is being lost. Putting it another way, what my students make after I give them a writing prompt is theirs not mine.
@VPsing06@Pontifex People “create” nothing if AI does it. Creativity is a purely human pursuit. The Pope is approaching AI through a Catholic philosophical and theological anthropology, and, as such, AI performing these ops is seen as anti-human(it is)—just look at all the AI related layoffs, etc.
GUYS ITS HAPPENING! Let's make a "Guild" movie together!!!! Sign up now at this link to be alerted when our Kickstarter is live: https://t.co/bRUCM2DDYm Excited to see the gang back together with your help! #reunion'd
One thought I continually revisit time and again is the deification of the state (and by extension its values) by its citizens over and above the very God they purport to serve. It’s a most sinister form of idolatry.
Today, JD Vance said Pope Leo has bad theology. It brought to mind something David Bentley Hart said years ago 👇
"Most Americans think of themselves as Christians, but the only religion in America that ever flourished was America. And it twists everything into its own image ... the American religion, which is about civil order, prosperity, capitalism, a moral code that is not premised on forgiveness so much as upon judgement."
And in the same paragraph, on converts 👇
"[L]ike converts everywhere, to everything, the version of the religion to which they converted they cling to more fiercely than people who were born Orthodox. For them it's an ideology they've adopted, so it must be pure. And because they're evangelicals, that also means simplified, inflexible and cruel."
