#the media is lying to us

I have all the evidence that the beatles were having a torrid fourway love affair, but every time I try to explain it I look like this:

i get so irritated when ppl watch rebellion and walk away w the belief that homura is genuinely evil/bad now. 💀

like, this girl literally pulled “oh yeah so i embody all that is evil and impure now” out of her ASS, clearly lying abt almost everything she’s saying, clearly full of shit and she doesn’t mean ANY of it, and ppl fr thought she was being genuine???

like, be so fr. since when has homura ever wanted to be “evil”? doesn’t that seem a bit random and nonsensical to you for her to suddenly say and want that, when she literally NEVER has?

“I speak up on issues” and “we are a big family”- also Z*k

Also let’s just note that Lando literally is as much to blame as Max was if not even a little more due to his moves before. Lando could have moved but choose to collide. If Lando knew how to race wheel to wheel with the fastest car he would have done what Max did the year before he wouldn’t have crash :)))

“It just felt wholly inappropriate” yeah so was the abuse you sent towards Max:))

Shit team principal with the dicky driver :))

Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties – and calls for a ceasefire – reaches a tipping point. In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.

A lot of this pressure — the majority, I would wager — that Biden and US national leaders are getting is the result of people calling their reps, attending protests, writing to their newspapers and generally making themselves heard on this issue. People make a difference, and it's always worth reaching out to your legislators and telling them what you think.

Senators' info is pretty easy to find, since you've got two for every state (even DC and other non-state people have someone they can call!) but sometimes it's a little tricky remembering who your representative is, especially now with the district lines having changed up. So check your address here and then call their office — I've found more luck getting hold of an actual person at their local offices rather than the DC one, fwiw.

Technically I'm on five social media sites but it's so silly bc it's like

Tumblr- actually use as a social media site either despite or because it not really being structured like a true social media website

Snapchat- this is what i call the "photographs of pets and occasional concert footage" app. it's for seeing my friends pets. i can't believe people actually use this one.

Discord- discord is literally a texting app. and occasionally watching tv shows with my friends at 360p

Goodreads- this is a personal tracking app. i also use storygraph. as a personal tracking app. i technically have two (2) friends on there but lol.

Letterboxd- same as good reads. I use this as a personal tracking app. this is the only way i know how many movies i've watched this year. i forget it's supposed to be social

I think I am officially at the point where I hate those 'how to spot AI' tips and tricks lists and the paralyzing anxiety around ever interacting with anything generative AI far more than I could ever actually hate generative AI. The 'signs' that something is AI get less and less clear-cut with each passing day and yet people keep sharing 'tips and tricks' that basically just encourage you to scrutinize everyone's art and call AI the moment you see something even slightly out of the norm. 'If an artist has wildly different art styles that's AI!' or maybe they just have different art styles. 'If the lines blur and details don't make sense it's AI!' or maybe it's a deliberate choice in the art. 'If the anatomy is off it's AI!' or maybe it's a stylistic choice or the artist just isn't very good at anatomy. 'If there's lots of art of popular topics in similar styles it's AI!' are you kidding me. Etc. Even worse when people start sharing tips on how to clock writing AI that basically boil down to 'if the English is nonsensical it's AI' like, or maybe the author just doesn't speak English very well? If that 'The Rumor Does Come Out: Does Bruno Mars Is Gay?' article came out today everyone would be swearing up and down that it's AI when it was just bad English (idk if the author genuinely didn't speak English well or if it was a joke but either way the point stands I think). 'If the article is nonsensical it's AI' or maybe it was just a rush job for little money come on now are we going to pretend shitty inaccurate articles started with AI? Saw a post that said 'if the writing seems overly stiff and formal it's AI' and they proceeded to list examples that I have said pretty much verbatim because I'm autistic and often have trouble figuring out how to start posts in a way that sounds natural. This shit sucks!

Like I'm not saying these signs can't be AI, I've definitely read nonsensical articles before and thought 'that's probably AI' or seen blogs recently created with a bunch of art in wildly different styles and thought 'that's probably AI' but the point is you can't know for sure. Fact is that most ways of telling whether something is AI or not at this point are entirely vibes based. And maybe I'm just a gullible naive bitch or whatever but I really do feel like ruthlessly scrutinizing each piece of art you see and insisting it's AI based on vibes and refusing to believe the artist when they say it isn't is in fact way more harmful than occasionally interacting with AI art. Also I just refuse to live like that rip to everyone else but I'm different.

speaking of bsol through speaking of xmas xtrav that like i'm so augh god hand over heart falling over (just like the bloodsong b/c it's the like conclusion of being Overwhelmed By Artistic Effect that then in the ideal version you may as well die) at the thought of the finale where you have the main plot conclude as that Story w/those Themes like ah but even then, the influence, the other the musicians now, that this whole time like yeah you have to do it even if you just keep building or die or were thwarted even prior to that b/c you didn't know you wouldn't be....but that then just like in the opening song Outlaw or sort of distillation of the theme abt being someone making art Last On Land or that at other points other characters have emerged as not really their characters not really a greek chorus but elements of the story helping to Tell It, here's Everyone again for the friendship song altogether & each with an instrument & like not even able to see it but pics & imagining & the enthusiasm & the Thematic Resonance like this is when you are pursuing these pursuits together like _o__ (splayed out facedown emoji) aaauuughhh ;;mm;; bsol finale with everyone showing up playing & singing & dancing the song celebratory finale it's all the Theme when the full cast of Characters had only ever all been together for the one standoff scene at the end & yet obviously We've known them all & everyone is outlaws which is a song like i'm already going sicko mode & this is just the intro, so yknow, The Conclusion, good lord find an iconis musical finale without that place for the celebratory outpouring of enthusiasm right amidst other feelings & situations but Good Lord Here's This in a story that'll always have been all about people's depths & heights & widths & breadths & variations & tumult & all the dimensions, people will have Brought It all over the place & it's like yes leap around together playing & singing this song together which isn't The Story but is such an extension of it b/c bsol has its show within the show quality still infused all in it & if this flurry of Actors Celebrating Outpouring We Put On This Show but still within the show you are seeing as an audience in this venue wouldn't have been part of the original plan with a whole [outside the show within the show] plotline like. embraces bsol holding it so hard my becherished

Since Bleach Cour 3 will air this Saturday, I just wanna say that :

Please don't associate or compare any similarity between the Wandenreich and or Quincy with Israel

They don't have the slightest similarity. Trying to point out any similarity between those two will only unintentionally feed to the western "making Israel sympathetic" propaganda (when the soldiers and citizens are very much conscious of their government's genocidal plans and all of them take glee in killing and torturing and watching Palestinians suffered; even if they got trauma or mental health issue, it doesn't change the fact that they consciously choose to be racist and homicidal and keep continuing to do so regardless of what they mentally and psychologically get from the atrocities they commit and they don't and will never really really feel guilty like really really regret it for the thousands and billions of innocent blood on their hands) and further stigmatize the already badly written oppressed race Quincy (because we know Kubo not only sucks in writing female characters and POC characters)

Maybe the weirdos who have some kind of vendetta against people who like guilty gear but dont play it would be less annoying if they could do it without being transphobic
