Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?

This is a much more impressive accomplishment than becoming a trillionaire

Disrespecting teachers at the ripe age of 57 when the country is dead smack in the middle of the worst literacy crisis in its history and teachers are insanely underpaid (while bragging about being a millionaire) is out-of-touch loser behavior. Everyone is 12!!

Antony Starr speaks out against AI

"'[AI] is coming no matter what' ... bla bla. Recent movies have proven that people want human stories. Not big ridiculous VFX-driven nonsense"

"Ever tried to go to an Al movie premiere? The cast are horrible and they hate their human fans"

[Pop Detective @PopDetective]

“AI is not going anywhere” is a PR line from a gen AI company press release that’s trying to make their bad broken technology seem inevitable. It’s bullshit. Please stop repeating it.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

In 1965, a 17-year-old girl in Sicily was kidnapped, assaulted, and held captive for over a week.

Then her attacker offered her a deal:

Marry him, and everything would be “forgiven.”

At the time, Italian law allowed rapists to avoid punishment if they married their victims.

It was called “reparatory marriage.”

The logic was horrifying:

A woman’s “honor” mattered more than her consent.

If she married the man who violated her, her reputation could supposedly be restored — and the rapist could walk free.

Most women had no real choice.

Families pressured them.
Communities expected obedience.
The law itself encouraged silence.

But Franca Viola said no.

At 17 years old, traumatized and publicly shamed, she refused to marry the man who assaulted her.

That single word changed Italy forever.

Her decision sparked outrage in her town.

Neighbors turned against her family.
Their vineyards and olive groves were burned in retaliation.

But Franca’s father stood beside her and supported her decision to press charges.

In 1966, Franca testified publicly against her attacker in court.

At a time when most victims were expected to stay silent forever, she spoke openly in front of the entire country.

Italy watched in shock.

Her attacker, Filippo Melodia, was convicted and sentenced to prison.

For the first time in Italian history, a woman had publicly rejected “reparatory marriage” and won.

The case became international news.

But the law itself still remained.

For another 15 years, rapists in Italy could technically still escape punishment by marrying their victims.

Then finally, in 1981, Italy abolished the law completely.

And many activists pointed to Franca Viola as the moment the country first began confronting the cruelty of that system.

Years later, Franca married a childhood friend who had stood beside her through everything.

Not because she needed her “honor restored.”

But because she deserved love, dignity, and a life defined by her own choices.

That’s why her story still matters.

Franca Viola wasn’t just resisting one man.

She was resisting an entire culture that treated women’s suffering as something to hide rather than something to fight.

At 17 years old, she stood against her attacker, her community, and even the law itself.

And eventually, the law changed.

Sometimes history moves because powerful people decide to act.

And sometimes history moves because one terrified teenager quietly refuses to surrender.

tem que ser um MONSTRO pra votar a favor de fazer uma criança passar por um trauma dessa magnitude

[mari ☁️ @m_stormwitch]

y'all are fucking cowards. If BIG names with BIG BUDGETS start using AI, imagine what's gonna happen w/ small directors that don't have production houses' support. In a world of big names bending to AI, be someone that prefers practical effects, makeup, handmade crafts & costumes

I wish we could go back in time where ai generated images never existed. I miss being able to like any artwork or post that I see, without worrying if it's ai or not. I miss it so much.

Monterey Park in LA County is now the first city in the country where voters have banned data centers.

At the ballot box residents overwhelmingly chose to ban data center construction, voting 86%-14% in favor of the indefinite moratorium.

I hate for everyone have to learn that California — and Los Angeles is actually a great example of this — is not progressive

[paige ☻ @hellynaswife]

really sick of filmmakers and creatives that will never have to feel the ramifications of AI taking their jobs tell us we need to be open to it! like thats so easy for YOU to say

[aimee🐈‍⬛▽↯ @waffleparx]

someone abandoning the kid leaves one person with 100% responsibility and the other with 0% an abortion leaves both with 0% hope that helps. y'all care more about hypothetical children than the ones that are born and neglected and it shows.

We are now in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.
