“whoa there pal! looks like your favorite web service is getting hit with enshittification. you should try this NEW PLATFORM, that is only mildly alike in function, has no stable source of funding, and is being ran by some people in their home office as a hobby. this will be a long-term solution for you that you can build a community on, i promise!” <- sentiment i see a lot on here lately. like. lol
A Minnesota woman seen using a racial slur against a child in a video posted on social media has raised over $300,000 through a crowdfunding campaign, saying she and her family need to relocate for their safety.
The incident, which occurred at Soldiers Field Memorial Park in Rochester, shows a woman, identified as Shiloh Hendrix, using the n-word in an argument with a man who confronted her about her language toward a Black child. The video, which circulated across social media platforms including X and TikTok, shows Hendrix repeating the slur and defending her actions by claiming the child stole from her toddler’s diaper bag.
I was thinking about this on and off before this story even broke the news but by and large it doesn’t matter what consequences white supremacists who harass black people, on camera, in public, actually have to deal with because legions of fellow white supremacists are in the wings ensuring that they’ll be fine throughout the ordeal.
The fringe Parasitic Encephalization Theory claims our nervous system is a parasite that took over the body of the earliest vertebrate ancestor. It captures 20% of the body’s resources, while staying separate from the blood and being considered unique by the immune system.
While very few defend this theory, one fact supports it: If the body dies while the skull is open, the brain and spinal cord sometimes detach and briefly flail outside, in what could perhaps be an ancient host-seeking reflex.
congratulations, you’ve managed to sway google’s ai overview
Also my two cents on the matter. It sucks that google will cite my art blog as an authoritative source. People googling the fake terms I make up was a good way I had of catching those who believed in my art a little too hard and making them realize it’s not real (since it’d often lead them to my website where it’s clear it’s an art thing). I bet a few of you found my art this way!
If now google does the opposite that says a lot about how bad it has become as a service. Straight up leading away from the truth.
