the prominence of AI in art and writing right now actually has a lot in common with the old WASPy 1950s cooking trends we now all scoff at, specifically the over-reliance on what is perceived as high-tech and futuristic, the belief that anything that comes "from science" must inherently have value and be superior to the more organic older methods, the leveraging of a supply chain that is all geared up to destroy the earth, and also an end result so uncanny it is bordering on surreal.

what gets called AI today truly is the shrimp jello of tomorrow.

Mohammed asked me to share this on my blog, as he believes it might not get the attention or support it needs if shared from his smaller blog. He is supporting his family in Gaza right now, raising funds so they can evacuate. He generated these images to catch people’s attention.

Their GoFundMe is verified (row 178, entry 174). They are extremely close to reaching their goal, 95% of the way there!

Here is the link to their fundraiser. A lot of donations they’ve received are small, so even €10 helps a lot!

For those who don’t know Mohammed’s story and that of his wife, Enas – they are a family living through the war in Gaza, trying to survive. For anyone who wants to read their full story, this post shares their journey:

Jotun Loki - Sketchu~ 💙💙💙

[rabidfirefoxfan]

You are our son, Loki

I think that mcu making up flaws that Loki allegedly has and "fixing" them but never even briefly exploring the flaws he actually has has a lot to do with the fact that his flaws aren't the ones that movies or books usually deal with.

Because mcu Loki does have some genuine flaws: guys, he tried to destroy Jotunheim and walked over his own beliefs in order to be liked and deserving to be loved by his family. That's the hugest people-pleasing issues you can come up with.

He's so overly private that he never even mentioned Thanos. Not once. Yes, there were different reasons, but this was one of them.

His trust issues? His desire to portray himself as worse than he is?

Him ruining Thor's coronation out of mix of jealousy AND altruism????

All of that are real flaws, but the writers of popular media usually don't deal with such kind of flaws - they deal with arrogant, selfish, power-hungry characters, so yeah, of course later mcu claims that Loki didn't know how to care about others. Of course the show states he was power-hungry.

Not only that, but the flaws mcu Loki has aren't always seen as flaws by many people: "oh, so he's a people-pleaser, it's like being too much of a hard worker", etc.

Mcu Loki is a complex character who is flawed in such interesting ways, but of course it's easier to give him classic bad-to-good guy story.

How do they choose which sand to be the glass and which sand to be the sand in an hourglass... Imagine you and your best friend were two grains of sand and you had to be in the hourglass and your bestie had to be the glass. Ur together but youve never been more apart. A Sick and twisted practice hourglassery is...
