Cant STAND when people say that like why are we trying to dumb ourselves down??
one of the best feelings tbh
For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.
Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.
Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.
Myra Cheng et al. "Sycophantic AI decreases prosocial intentions and promotes dependence." Science 391, eaec8352 (2026).
A trans woman was just sentenced to 15 years in prison for defending herself from an attacker. She wanted no part in the fight and witnesses described her actions as self-defense. With right-wing media constantly portraying her as "evil" since the incident, the trial was over before it began.
Jaia's prison ID number is 3492500039. The state of New York handles commissary money transfers through JPay. Monetary support is crucial for even a 'short' stay in prison, all the more so for trans women who are disproportionately mistreated by corrections officers and other prisoners, and frequently placed in solitary for their 'own safety'.
Other's tags, but I'd like to highlight the fact you can no longer just *find* an article that's giving the actual testimony anymore.
Information like this is being actively scrubbed from the internet (specifically google, facebook, and most major news article sites in terms of verified examples), and we should all be highly aware of that fact.
(long post alert y'all)

Hey guys, I decided that I’ve been too hard on Lloyd and he’s actually a great character and I actually really like him—
SIKE!!!!!!!!
YOUR ALL GETTING MORE TANGERINE RELATED TO MY FANFIC ART AHHH YOU THOUGHT!
Close ups and reference under cut
Tutorial on the things I look out for when drawing curly hair. It's more about 4C hair but the premise can help with other curl patterns I think. Signed curly headed person.
I love "The Arbiter is a conventionally attractive alien what are you talking about?" "What are YOU talking about???" conversations so much it's so fun.
p1zzahutt asked:
Considering that Serpentine likely mature faster than humans (looking at Skales Jr and Frak), I feel like there’s a plausible argument to be made that Reginald and Frak’s mom are actually the same chronological age as the Ninja, even if they are further into their respective adulthood. Like it’s not 100%, there’s every chance that his parents were already well into maturity when they had him, but even if it isn’t probable, it is certainly POSSIBLE
parachutingkitten answered:
Guys, Dragons Rising has officially wrecked any chance I think the fandom ever had of figuring out ages for characters. Between what the next gens supposedly remember, and implied time skips, and flashbacks and offhand comments about stuff we didn’t see and snake aging and everything like, yeah. I think you could probably make a pretty good argument for any age you think anyone is.
Screw it. I think Arin is friggin older than Lloyd, chronologically. Fight me.
