I was honestly dismayed when I was in a directing class recently and one of the older people was like “can I just plug the script of the play into ai and get an analysis?” Why do you want to be a director if you want to outsource the visioning and dramaturgical process??

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

I wrote a poem

You were born the day my mother died, my grief.
I gestated you in her illness
In your infancy you were so much for me
Overwhelming with your cries
Constantly needy
Now, you are a young woman
High-school aged
You are polite and quiet
You sit respectfully with me while I look through her things
Sometimes you can be rude
Unexpectedly cruel
But never for long And you ask, contrite,
"Father,
What was she like?"
I could brush your hair back from your face
And answer
"She looked so much like you."

A 22-year-old Palestinian died in Israeli prison -- where he'd been held for a year and a half without charges.

His last two months, he was bed-ridden.

When he died, he weighed 88 lbs.

He was the 78th Palestinian to die in Israeli jail since Oct. 7, 2023.

www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The statement also said Khdeirat had dropped his weight to approximately 40 kilograms (88 pounds).

According to the committee, a lawyer who visited him in August testified that Khdeirat had been bedridden for ove two months.

The PA's statement tallies 78 administrative detainees and prisoners who died in Israeli prison since the start of the war on October 7, 2023.

This is very beginner friendly paint and not too expensive for what you get (I think Blick is having an overstock sale on this set)

If you can’t afford cotton paper, this is a particularly good choice

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

This proclamation is batshit insane and i just want everyone to try to fathom, for one second, what is like being a Native person on their homeland with invaders and occupiers continuously spouting lies and threatening violence against those who defy it.

Also, this means we’re winning 💅🏽

The WHITE HOUSE
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Today our Nation honors the legendary Christopher Columbus — the original American hero, a giant of Western civilization, and one of the most gallant and visionary men to ever walk the face of the earth. This Columbus Day, we honor his life with reverence and gratitude, and we pledge to reclaim his extraordinary legacy of faith, courage, perseverance, and virtue from the left-wing arsonists who have sought to destroy his name and dishonor his memory.

Just over 2 months later, on October 12, 1492, Columbus made landfall in the modern-day Bahamas. Upon his arrival, he planted a majestic cross in a mighty act of devotion, dedicating the land to God and setting in motion America's proud birthright of faith. Though he initially believed he had arrived in Asia, his discovery opened the vast frontier and untold splendors of the New World to Europe. He later ventured onward to Cuba and other islands in the Caribbean - exploring their coasts and engaging with their people.
Guided by steadfast prayer and unwavering fortitude and resolve, Columbus's journey carried thousands of years of wisdom, philosophy, reason, and culture across the Atlantic into the Americas — paving the way for the ultimate triumph of Western civilization less than three centuries later on July 4, 1776.

The WHITE HOUSE
Outrageously, in recent years, Christopher Columbus has been a prime target of a vicious and merciless campaign to erase our history, slander our heroes, and attack our heritage. Before our very eyes, left-wing radicals toppled his statues, vandalized his monuments, tarnished his character, and sought to exile him from our public spaces. Under my leadership, those days are finally over — and our Nation will now abide by a simple truth: Christopher Columbus was a true American hero, and every citizen is eternally indebted to his relentless determination.

The WHITE HOUSE
This Columbus Day, more than 500 years since Columbus arrived in the New World, we follow his example, we echo his resolve, and we offer our gratitude for his life of valor and grit. Above all, we commit to restoring a Nation that once again dares to tame the unknown, honors our rich cultural inheritance, and offers rightful praise to our Creator above.
In commemoration of Christopher Columbus's historic voyage, the Congress, by joint resolution of April 30, 1934, and modified in 1968 (36 U.S.C. 107), as amended, has requested the President proclaim the second Monday of October of each year as
"Columbus Day."
