Mbappé is not a transphobe.

Celebrities get to go to the Cannes film festival. It's one of the perks. If you are not a transphobe and a famous transgender model has a conversation with you? You don't run away.

Celebrities get to go to yacht parties. Another perk. If you are not a transphobe and you are lifting women onto a yacht? You also lift her onto the yacht. You don't lift all the cisgender women and refuse to lift her.

A paparazzi photo of Mbappé lifting any of the women who are not transgender, is not as valuable as the one of him lifting the one woman who is.

I don't know if Mbappé dates transgender women. And I don't care. It's none of my business.

I do care that he was aware enough not to deny it. ♥️👍🏿

@mellifluousbox @kraftner sure, but my local kebab shop does not have Apple’s budget for a logo of that quality 😊

I think this is more about taste and design judgment in general than AI specifically. There were already plenty of bad logos long before AI came along, and I still bought my kebab there anyway.

Report: More than 80 British politicians have demanded that the UK government "impose comprehensive sanctions on Israel in line with the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion”.

"The UK's obligations under international law are clear. What is needed now is the political courage to act.”

"Keir Starmer’s government has continued to enable Israel’s atrocities."

@brucelawson was he polite or assertive?

@kraftner Good point. I also think that if machine-generated "perfection" becomes commoditised we will start to value human mistakes and small sloppiness (in the original meaning) here and there more.

There's an interesting analogy in The Expanse series. Plastic surgery is available to almost everyone so the rich people use their imperfections as a status symbol.

The Argentinian player that scored the 1st goal against England, is the same one that uploaded a social media video of himself singing racist and transphobic songs about Black French players.

The transphobia was included to insult Kylian Mbappé, and to isolate trans people from public life.

Bezeichnend für das Tableau deutscher Leitmedien und ihrer machtkritischen Leistung zu diesem Angriff auf das deutsche Grundgesetz ist, dass Satire wie diese den Kern der Gefahr oftmals sichtbarer, schneller und präziser benennt als Traditionsmedien dies tun - falls sie überhaupt darüber berichten.

@mekkaokereke this is the whole thing in a nutshell: race isn't real, racism is real.
Thanks for your posts!

Die Bundesregierung will das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz beschneiden. Begründung: Schutz von Mitarbeitenden vor Gefährdungen durch IFG-Anfragen.

Kleines Problem: Auf Nachfrage konnte kein einziges Bundesministerium auch nur einen einzigen solchen Fall nennen.

Transparenz abbauen, weil es eine Gefahr geben könnte, die niemand belegen kann? Das ist ungefähr so überzeugend wie einen Regenschirm zu verbieten, weil jemand theoretisch vom Blitz getroffen werden könnte.

Vielleicht ist das IFG gar nicht gefährlich. Vielleicht ist es nur unangenehm, wenn Bürger.innen und Journalist.innen nachfragen.
