Right? I remember watching some time ago a AI-generated video of an actress - I think it was Kirsten Stewart - doing a monologue. It was eerily undistinguishable from reality. This is happening, and actors have all the rights to be upset by it until proper compensation rules are in place.

Not gonna lie, I ship those two a little bit. <3

don’t google “1man1jar”.

What a horrible day to have a memory.

…living life in peace?

(yoo-hoo)

In Italy we have now compassion fatigue. It is just so overwhelming that we’ve become desensitized. Thousands of lives are saved, and lost, year on year, and nothing ever changes. The migrant plight has become both a business and a political stance to take advantage of on all sides.

Aside of those poor souls, there are no good guys in this fucked up mess. Do not be surprised, also, if the Titan wreck makes the news and the loss of 1000+ people in the space of a summer doesn’t.

Because news are not subsidised anymore and need to run on money, views and paper sales.

A wreck on an iconic wreck site generates views.

The n-th migrant shipwreck does not generate views anymore (compassion fatigue, remember) unless you stick to it the picture of a dead child’s body washed ashore.

It’s cynical, and I hate it, but it’s how it is.
