girl... what?

If you seriously thought this vomit of youtube videos would be enough to prove that china should be some kind of exception to the idea that you should think critically about the news you read, especially when it's coming from major news networks that operate with the explicit or implicit support of their governments, then you're out of your mind. no government is beyond manipulation of the narrative. i genuinely do not get why this is inviting the kind of response that it is.

I, for one, don't feel like platforming these people who read a call for better research and reading comprehension, and hear a leveled threat they must defend against. I am sincere in my call for critical reading. I am steadfast in my belief that very little, if anything, separates the people of America from the people of China, and likewise little differentiates the government of America from the government of China. People are exploited. Powerful organizations exploit. The narratives delivered to us are impacted by the power structures they exist within. I don't have a lot of faith in people who would try to convince me that one nation above all others is the exception.

Just a little pinup of my pretty Angel Caro in between working on comics. I like to find old ads from the 70s and 80s and reimagining the poses with my characters.

BRO WHAT.

Hmm it’s almost like there’s supposed to be adult figures responsible for monitoring her screen time and making sure she develops properly… certainly this isn’t the result of neglect at the hands of her parents…

Translation: This 5 year old is developmentally impaired by neglectful parents who used an iPad as a stand-in for social and environmental stimulation / interaction for hours at a time during critical early stages of child development. The iPad is the cop-out.

When are people going to realize the iPads and whatnot are the instruments through which the neglect is happening through and not the cause? How the fuck do you let your child have such a severe lack of physical strength in their hands that they can’t hold a pencil properly?

It’s like saying a dog who was kept in a cage all its life and left with atrophied muscles was damaged by the cage, and not by the fact its owners were too lazy to play or walk their dog in order for its muscles to build properly. The cage is the instrument of neglect and the owners are the perpetrators, in the same way parents are the perpetrators and weaponizing screen time as an excuse and painting themselves as helpless bystanders.

the logic of this is making me laugh a lot 

we're being pushed these Meta Glasses as if mass surveillance of strangers is fun and normal! it's weird!!! there are already reports that people are using these to film women without them knowing and sharing it to communities who get off on this shit. who else knows who people are filming. these glasses with cameras are not obvious and that is dangerous.

such a good listener hard to find those sometimes

Also, in CGI this song called "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" does not take place at night.

If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.
