AI generated images of people are become so hyper realistic they could almost pass for the real thing if not for the almost too perfect curves and proportions.
But does this further create unrealistic standards for what women should look like?
Curious what women think about this.
(Note: I did not create this image)

From my summer vacation to Japan. The busy streets of the Dotonbori area in Osaka.

This recent World Cup kiss controversy really bugs me.
Specifically the part where Luis Rubiales insists the kiss was consensual and he did nothing wrong. The player, Jenni Hermoso, denies this claiming it was unwanted and unexpected.
Looking at the picture you can clearly see he has both hands grabbing her head and pulling her in for the kiss. He basically forced himself onto her. That's disgusting and he should be removed from his position and face discipline.

I like cats, I really do. But does anyone else feel like Mastodon is just inundated with cat pics all the time? It’s like the unofficial mascot of Mastodon.
This might sound controversial, but I think there may have been a missed opportunity to raise the sales tax.
This would deter spending without affecting mortgage holders as much while at the same time adding some money to govt coffers.
Thoughts?

The Bank of Canada #boc raised interest rates to 5% to continue their fight against inflation. Many are sounding the alarm that this may be too harsh. But I think part of the problem is that the government really hasn't been helping and in fact in some ways have been making things worse with continued deficit spending.

Comic-Con is coming to Montreal this weekend. I won't be attending but wanted to throw back to the first time I attended back in 2015 and first became fascinated with cosplay photography.

What's everyone thoughts on Threads so far?
Any concerns about it taking away from Mastodon?
Or is it a good thing because they will eventually join the fediverse?

Everyone's always clamoring for law and order, except when their favorite politician gets indicted.
