@kt4me And clapped around me (including family) while I chose to stay seated. I similarly had a panic attack 🫠
I’m so sorry that happened to you. It’s such a surreal feeling to be physically surrounded by people shouting their praises for your abolishment.
@kt4me hi! I had an incredibly similar experience after my parents found out I was queer. We went to an apologetics conference, and the pastor was a man who “struggled with ssa.” Went on a rampage abt how if he can withstand the temptation, anyone can. The entire stadium stood-
your critique of ai cannot be entrenched in aesthetics because there will be a time when you see an ai image or hear an ai song and think "that looks/sounds good". your critique of ai must always be entrenched in the poisonous effect it has on people's brains and the planet.
“they should teach media literacy in schools” english class “they should teach students how to spot misinformation” it's english class “they should teach kids critical thinking” its called engish class
Louis’ emotional final speech in Orlando tonight, before he sang No Control to celebrate 16 years since One Direction were formed:
“You’re too kind, Orlando, I love yous. *Sits on the stage platform* Perch myself here.
So, today! Today is 16 years… *Crowd cheers* Since One Direction were formed, and uh, if anyone’s been following my social media today, from about 2pm, *Crowd cheers again* I honestly, I went through a One Direction megamix for about five hours straight, top to bottom.
I think honestly, since leaving the band, I’ve probably only done that twice ever really. So uh, it was nice, nice to have a moment and reminisce, and think about all the good times, and uh, obviously, when you’re looking back like that, you just, I’m just filled with gratitude. I-I’ve been so fucking lucky since I’ve been like 18 years old. And I’ve, I’ve- *Interrupted by the crowd cheering* Thank you.
I can remember crystal clear, I can remember even picking my outfit out for- *Crowd laughs* You’ve seen it, it’s bad, innit? It’s bad, it’s bad. It was alright at the time though, you know, looked alright at the time, at least I thought it did.
But I can remember picking that outfit out, I can remember going to bootcamp and I didn’t really expect too much, truthfully. I’d never been in a situation like that before in my life, you know, I didn’t go to stage school or anything like that. So, I didn’t really know what to expect, and uh, really, I was just there for the experience, and umm, I can remember- *A fan screams loudly* I appreciate that, thanks.
I can remember when the producers came up to us and they, you could see that something was going on. Now, I’m a big X Factor fan, that’s the show that we came up on, and uh, I kind of had a feeling what was happening, it felt really exciting, you’d seen similar things happen before, and then we got put together. Five fucking strangers, crazy shit, you know.
I feel incredibly lucky to have the career that I’ve had, 16 years is fucking crazy, I’ve got goosebumps saying that now.
*To a fan* Thank you, thank you, I’m proud of us, I’m proud of us, I love you.
So uh, yeah, I’ve been emotional today but it’s been lovely, it’s been a really lovely day. The gig today has been fucking lovely, really, really, I love yous.
*Walks back over to the mic stand* Ooh, felt myself getting a bit emotional there, had to rein it in. *Gets distracted by a fly* What’s this fly doing inside?
Alright listen. *A fan shouts something* Eh? I’m gonna nod my head and pretend I didn’t hear you.
Alright, here’s one of the One Direction songs, then.”

16 fucking years of One Direction!!! Blows my mind. Thank you for changing all our lives and the love and passion you all still show is unmatched! Tonight’s going to be a special show.
Spending the rest of the day listening to all the bangers and reminiscing! Thank you for all the memories.
And to my brother I Miss you every day but especially on days like today. I know we’d have been celebrating today together!
The UN has officially declared Gaza a genocide. And that Israel is deliberately targeting children and babies
Only took them 3 freaking years to get there
skam + the remakes literally changed my life (and so many others) so seeing allofskam get taken down is absolutely gut wrenching… so many memories gone & i’m so upset for the translators who worked so hard + anyone who hadn’t gotten the chance to see them
The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar.
• Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars
• Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination
I can’t believe a sitting president of the United States just threatened genocide and the official democrat account prolly gon tweet out a tik tok edit
