you all don't see israel as an actual problem anymore, y'all just use it as a punchline for your twitter jokes
and you don't even see the star of david as a sign for judaism anymore it's all just israel

you're not "woke" if you act like this

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this.

Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.

Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

They're trying to make us worse. These billionaire generative AI corporations reap profits by making us worse human beings.

They want us to become less human. Less connected. Less creative. Less capable. Less wise. Less intelligent. They want to atrophy our ability to speak, write, research, relate, draw, make music, and cultivate intimate connections with the most important people in our lives, and then sell those things back to us at the hands of some chatbot.

Their entire business model is built around turning us into a bunch of soup-brained narcissists who can't manage our own lives and our own relationships, and then being the crutch that we use to compensate for that self-inflicted debilitation.

The product they are selling us is not the chatbot itself. The actual product they're selling is freedom from cognitive and emotional discomfort. From the discomfort of learning new skills. From the discomfort of personal growth. From the discomfort of taking risks. From the discomfort of pushing past that intimidating blank page to get something written. From the discomfort of having to think about other people and consider their interests and feelings. From the discomfort of having to interact with other humans and maybe say the wrong thing sometimes. From the discomfort of leaping into the unknown.

But all the best things in life sit on the other side of discomfort. Love. Romance. Intimacy. Art. Creativity. Growth. Healing. Rising beyond our limitations. Liberating ourselves from the illusion of the ego. They all require us to push through discomfort to the treasure on the other side. An aversion to discomfort is an aversion to a fulfilling human life on this planet.

But that's exactly what these chatbot companies are nudging people into. They're encouraging us to spend our lives curled up in impotent little balls of emotional infancy and intellectual stagnation so that they can sell us machines which act as digital prostheses for the sacred parts of ourselves we have amputated.

We mustn't let them do this to us. We must remain human. We must hold fast to all those precious aspects of our humanity they're trying to extract and commodify.

So let's stay human.

Let's face our discomfort.

Let's face our fears.

Let's take that risk.

Let's tell our crush we fancy them.

Let's go in for that kiss.

Let's get our hearts broken.

Let's write that poem.

Let's learn to draw.

Let's learn to surf.

Let's learn the saxophone.

Let's learn all sorts of new things.

Let's learn about the people in our lives.

Let's nurture our relationships.

Let's heal our wounds.

Let's become better people.

Let's sink our toes deep into the earth and feel these wonderful terrestrial bodies of ours in each moment.

They're trying to pull us away from our humanity, so we must plunge deeper into it.

As things get more and more dystopian, simply holding fast to your humanity becomes an act of rebellion.

I drew myself as Sailor Moon and got harassed to hell and back for it. The racist abuse didn't stop there either. Last month I was targeted by a racist troll who hacked my YouTube, deleted years of my artwork, and even tried to make charges on my bank account.

Meanwhile, I've seen countless non-Black creators draw themselves as characters outside of their own race without being subjected to this level of racist harassment. That's why people acting like these situations are the same completely miss the point.

Anyways I'm close to my goal on Ko-fi if anyone wants to support me 💕: https://t.co/ZJudDbw6dN

#Backrooms star Chiwetel Ejiofor on working with director Kane Parsons and initially learning his age:

“At the time, I was also told, “You should know that the director is 19.” And I obviously thought about myself when I was 19 and thought, “How is this going to work? What would it have been like if it were me at 19 trying to direct this movie?”

“After reading the script, I was excited about it. Obviously, I was excited about what Kane had created and “The Backrooms” series. I thought it was incredible. There were specific things that I was completely taken with. Then we had a Zoom conversation, and I realized very quickly that Kane isn’t your common-or-garden 19- or 20-year-old. It was almost literally the last time that I thought about him as a young director.”
