When this is all over, every single person who voted for and enabled him should be forced to pay reparations and make a daily apology to the rest of the world.

Only yesterday I was in a meeting where I was asked about using AI for a brands clothing range photography. I think I kept the swearing down to around 3 "f**ks" and and still got my thoughts over clearly.
Once again, I have been asked to give a conference talk about AI. Once again, I ask how much I am allowed to swear on stage.

'The Hermit' from my Tarot inspired designs for Peter Carpenter's 'Bowieland'. We walked the landscapes and places of Bowie, met many people and many ghosts.

I'm with Jeff on this one.
Just a reminder that I block anyone who uses generative AI. Nothing personal. You're just an ass.

"Oh no, this tech-thing/platform has become so bad its almost unusable"

- then why are you still using it? Just stop. How much AI/fascist shit are you willing to eat before you walk away?

Corporations invaded the net, took it over and turned it into an accelerationist nightmare. But they are ignoring the real world in the process. They believe they are leaving it behind for something abstract and better.

Let them take the net as long as we can take back the real world.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Something about autumn just makes me want to wear big wooly jumpers and corderoy jackets while listening to Ronnie Lane and drinking real ale.

This. So much fucking THIS
feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*
I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚
