screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed

the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized

text says:

Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to β€˜What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved.
Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. 
Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI β€˜post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been β€˜created’ by AI from scratch.
This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Finding a community, which supports you, cares about you, allows full self-expression, and actively tries to prune bad actors... is good for you?

Who'd have thunk? :3

Cover for the Noss: Prelude album by Fox Amoore. An anthropomorphic fox watches the lights inside a dome turn lavender and cyan. Twin peaks at the center of the dome are split by a mile-wide column of vines that stretches to form the dendritic bright sky. The monumental mountain is steep and sharp, holding little snow despite its height. The mountainous landscape around it is verdant and full of rivers, with more vine columns rising to hold up the domed sky.

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

"A hate group is a social organization whose core purpose is to promote hatred, hostility, or violence against people based on their membership in a particular race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristic. While the presence of bigoted individuals isn't enough, a group becomes a hate group when its goals and actions are substantially rooted in this shared antagonism. "

Sex Matters is a hate group!

Not just me saying that. They meet the definition of such;

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

you have to put your ID in to look at bums on Discord because a transgender teenager was brutally murdered by her colleagues and the British establishment decided the problem was that the murdered teen had access to a supportive community online

One of the best international movies I saw was a Dutch movie focusing on how the navy was formed. Everyone in the movie, English, Dutch and French, spoke their native tongues. Anything not in your own native language was subtitled.

Your Smartwatch's Heart Rate Monitor Was Developed by a Furry Dr. David Benaron is an inventor whose team at Stanford laid the groundwork for the optical heart rate monitor. He's also a cheetah named Spottacus.

If you have a smartwatch with the green light, thank Spottacus. It’s incalculable how many lives his work has saved- so many people who otherwise wouldn’t have gotten help without alerts from his system. What a legacy.

Twelfth Night to be transformed by non-binary performances
The Daily Telegraph29 May 2025By Craig Simpson ARTS EDITOR

Sir Ian Mckellen’s show will feature non-binary or transgender performers
SIR IAN MCKELLEN will support an all-transgender and non-binary version of Twelfth Night.

The actor, 86, will introduce the onenight-only performance at the Space Theatre in London.

It will consist of a reading of the play conducted entirely by those who identify as non-binary or transgender.

The play will also be directed by Phoebe Kemp, who prefers they/them pronouns, in a new London production.

The production will also include a trigger warning alerting viewers to the fact that the comedy contains β€œShakespearean humour”.

Kemp said: β€œTwelfth Night already toys with gender and performance – it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us. This reading is about joy, solidarity and showing what’s possible when trans and non-binary artists are at the centre of the story.”

The performance will take place on July 25, on the eve of a scheduled Trans Pride march through London. The production will be the first staged by theatre company Trans What You Will, which is β€œin the business of putting on Shakespeare with trans and non-binary per

formers”. The company has stated: β€œWe believe in the importance, now more than ever, to provide opportunities for those under the trans umbrella to come together and make us laugh and cry and show the world how precious and wonderful gender diversity can be.” #TransAgendaClips
