'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

Another thing about Luigi Mangione.

Its yet to be proven he was the killer. There are details about the arrest that sound absurd and many people suspect the cops are just trying to pin it on him.

A lot of stuff has been dug up about him from his social media that people say establishes motive and lends credence toward him being the assassin. But I would challenge you to consider that maybe he's just one of many, many people fucked over by our system, and that his medical woes are symptomatic of simply living under this system. Other than fitting the roughest approximation of the shooter's description, there is nothing unique in a man who has suffered immensely due to the inhumane health insurance industry.

What i am saying is, they could have arrested any skinny white guy and we would have had an equal likelihood to find on his social media evidence for him having a problem with the Healthcare industry. We all have problems with the industry, we all hate those leeches, that's why people immediately started celebrating the UHC CEO'S death. We all hate this system, everyone in the fucking country has motive in this crime.

For this reason, remember that Luigi Mangione is innocent until proven guilty. And furthermore, remember that not all guilty verdicts are legitimate, there is an immense amount of police and court corruption in this country that makes even seemingly cut and dry cases questionable and I don't consider this one cut and dry. Innocent people go to prison all the time. Innocent people are handed down death sentences all the time. Guilt is an easy thing to conjure in a courtroom, as are guilty pleas conjured in an interrogation room.

When you consign a man like Luigi Mangione to guilt before he has even been to trial you strengthen the system that murders black men in cold blood and labels them criminals post mortem to justify it. You strengthen a system where Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny can murder with impunity, be acquited of all wrongdoing, and be called heroes because they killed people the state doesn't value.

Don't comply with power ahead of time.

"I want to live in a world in which teenagers can fulfil their natural purpose of being annoying" and "I do not always want to be annoyed by the teenagers" are compatible sentiments

elementary may have been copaganda but they were really onto something with their version of holmes he's autistic. he's a sub. he's canonically into bondage. he's a recovering addict. he keeps bees. he's tattooed AND hairy. his posture is insane. he texts in a near-undecipherable string of abbreviations and acronyms. he's the most irritating man in new york city. he's even aromantic

Hayao Miyazaki’s “The Boy and the Heron” December 8, 2023.

[rockonmyblock]

Miyazaki really said grief suffuses our entire world and everything and everyone we know but we get to choose what we do with it and whether we make the world better or worse because of it.

[rockonmyblock]

I cant stop thinking about The Boy and the Heron.

It's horrifying. It's fantastical. It's tragic. It's beautiful. It's hopeful.

It's about grief. It's about family. It's about war. It's, "You don't have to walk the same path your ancestors did." It's "Your lived experience builds a world as deserving of your attention and care as your inner world" and "You inherited a flawed world, and you are flawed, and that is still beautiful" and "I made this beautiful thing and it's ending and that's just how it goes, but wasn't it beautiful?"

It makes me think about the worlds we make within ourselves and how they can be entrancing and wonderful even as they lead us to walk deeper into ourselves and away from those around us. It makes me think about connection, about how love can be so flawed sometimes but it is still something we need to hold onto. It asks "What if the monsters never asked to be monsters?" and "What if things can die before they're even born?"

It's about not being afraid of fire, not being afraid of endings, not being afraid of the world falling apart, of pain, of walking away, of reconciling, of finding new family and new love even as you mourn and miss what you lost.

It says, "Beautiful, wonderful things end, but afterwards, you can go home."

I'm going crazy.
