Im tired of ai generated shit silently leaking everywhere.
a little meme post about snail boots with a bit too much glossiness to them? immediately clock them as generated. Reverse image search? Ai. Runway photo but the fabric is impossibly smooth and sheer while too vibrant? Click the source, “fashion photographer” but 90% of the images are straight up ai anime women mixed with runway models with no fingers.
Like i hate being this person but i am so frustrated seeing the comments on these posts ALWAYS restricted and ppl in the comments asking where they can buy it or whos the designer… but nobody can tell them in comments its not real
dragon age inquisition sidequests: lalala druffalo in the hinterlands lalaaaalaaaaa
dragon age 2 sidequests:
In fairness to King Kong, if I had a tiny adorable primate in my hand I would also be very resistant to someone taking it away from me.
We all assume it was romantic, but maybe when King Kong looked at her he was seeing this:
Something like this really happened a couple of years ago at the Mefou Primate Sanctuary in Cameroon, run by Ape Action Africa (AAA). A western lowland gorilla named Bobo befriended a bushbaby for a couple of hours before releasing it back into the forest.

According to AAA’s Facebook post (where you can also find additional photos and video):
Our silverback gorilla Bobo made a surprising new friend this week – a wild bushbaby! Caregivers discovered him cradling the tiny primate during their morning checks, and were amazed to see him handling it with the utmost care – proving that gorillas really are the gentle giants of the forest. Bobo’s group-mates were desperately curious, particularly his favourite female Avishag, but he kept them all at a distance, making sure that no one disturbed his new friend. Bushbabies are usually nocturnal so it is very rare to see one, and even rarer to witness this kind of interaction. The little bushbaby was happy to play in Bobo’s arms, hopping off to explore the grass nearby, before returning to Bobo’s hand. When the game was over, Bobo walked purposefully off on two legs to deliver his friend safely back into the trees.
Incidentally, the western lowland gorilla (which has the best species name of all time: Gorilla gorilla gorilla) is the largest primate in Cameroon, and the bushbabies happen to be the smallest primates in Cameroon.

if you're just joining us, george takei is having to educate jk rowling on holocaust denial
This is of no surprise if you know JKR has been hanging around with literal Nazis for years, while George Takei is a gay man who spent some of his childhood in an American internment camp.
I'm glad to see more of the disguise slip from JKR, but can only hope more people listen to George than to her.
[Edited to expand on this because a lot of people in the notes seem not to realise:] she is not being ignorant. She is not a benighted fool who didn't take her own advice and check the sources. THIS IS DELIBERATE.
This is a Nazi talking point. This is a technique for conversion and indoctrination designed to shame YOU into not checking your sources. After all, a famous person in a position of authority (whether we like that or not) is shaming the very idea that Nazis persecuted trans people, or that trans people have a history that goes back more than a few decades.
If you haven't watched Shaun's JK Rowling's New Friends and think talk of her hanging around with Nazis is hyperbole, this video is for you:
She is in deep. She is literally friends with known Nazis. She will have been told that the people saying Nazis burned books have unreliable sources. That is why she's saying this.
You'll note that George doesn't @ her. Apart from the fact that literally starting beef with her is likely not something he needs, he knows she is a lost cause. She is primed to dismiss the actual sources. He is sharing the true information, with sources, because her statements mean that other people will now be wondering about this and he's offering those people an alternative famous person authority AS WELL AS the facts.
I gotta jump into the post real quick and remind everybody that Rowling uses her money and platform- we see her use of the platform here -to push her causes. (As for money, for example, she donated one million pounds to fight against Scottish independence.) Any money and attention you give her goes straight to the promotion of her beliefs.
You know this already, but I want to add something that isn't common knowledge: Please do not pirate her stuff because...first of all, who cares what art a Holocaust denier makes. Second of all, MARKETING TEAMS MONITOR PIRACY and consider pirates "sales ready leads" who have a high interest in the product but haven't converted over to sales yet. So if you steal her shit they're gonna mark you in the "likes JK Rowling" column and give her another movie deal. You are supporting her with extra steps.
It is impossible to engage ethically with anything she creates, DO NOT PIRATE HER WORK
“can i be a hater for a second” girl you can kill someone in front of me and id be okay with it be fr
i dont think i will ever be over dragon age 2. like. bioware made an epic fantasy story about a chosen one having to save a country and stop the apocalypse and then they made the second installment of the series be about the sociopolitical climate in ONE city through the lens of a family of refugees fleeing from the war of the first game and just. made it about political tensions and class dynamics and the influences of living in a church-mandated state and the growing tension over an occupied piece of the city and political killings and interpersonal conflict and power and its story is ENTIRELY character-driven. it has easily the most iconic set of companion characters. the premise of living through a story told over the course of ten years and knowing from the start that something really bad will happen in the end was so fresh and exciting. the fact that the acts really built on top of each other andhow much the city changed over time. and the game was so mature in terms of the topic of fighting against oppression in so many ways (im usually generous and say that the short development time left some things a bit wanting), and as much as some people say that the game treats mages and templars as being equally bad, i don't think that that is actually true about the game and it very earnestly tries to grapple with some pretty complex political dynamics.
and then the game completely flopped financially and was almost universally hated for its queer themes and its sympathy for "terrorism" and a lot of the things that stemmed from basically having no production time at all and then the studio just made another epic fantasy story about a chosen one that has to save the world from the apocalypse
