Kind of tired of media about conspiracy theories being right. We need media where chasing conspiracy theories is a moral failing. Humans don't need conspiracy theories to do bad things.

Anti-abortion activists have been trying to convince the broader public that medication abortion is dangerous for years,
but their latest argument is a decades-old asinine conspiracy theory.
In a June 18 letter to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin,
25 House Republicans asked the agency to study the alleged
“byproducts” of Mifepristone
(the first medication administered in a medication abortion regimen)
in water systems.

I keep saying the same thing over and over with my kids: you don't make decisions with your voice, you make them with your body.
"I want to go to the park."
"Ok, put your shoes on."
"I want to go on my play date."
"Put on a jacket and get in the bike."
"I don't want to be late to school."
"I don't control time, if you don't want to be late you have to brush your teeth."
There's a fundamental truth underlying this concept though, one that I hadn't really thought about. On some level, I feel as though, any choice you can't make with your body isn't a real choice. If you're begging someone to do something for you, it's ultimately not something you control.
As I'm compelled, by threat of violence against my family, to pay for war against my comrades and to kill people I don't even know, I think about that. How far is our concept of freedom from the police state we are taught to imagine as the global beacon of liberty. My participation in the violence had always been compulsory.
Perhaps we could do better than just #NoKings.

"This Week in Videogames spoke to a dozen professional concept artists in the wake of Vincke’s comments, all of whom currently or have previously worked in game development, ranging from indie studios to large AAA developers. All, without exception, said that generative AI image tools had only made their lives more difficult – even when simply used as reference material."
