across all the variations: the Baum novel, the original film, the Wiz, Wicked (the book), Wicked (the musical), the Great and Terrible, Wicked (the film), Tin Man, the common theme that unites them all is “Americans are especially susceptible to propaganda from conmen and shysters”
One of the things about the Wizard of Oz, and the Oz series in general, is that it's arguably the first big fantasy series heavily steeped in Americana.
one of the core myths of American stories and art. i really enjoyed the documentary “Lynch/Oz” which came out a few years ago, about the ways WoO shows ups in Lynch’s works

A reminder, too, that he ran on this. It wasn’t a secret. They had “mass deportation now” signs everywhere.

That voice telling you not to lift a finger to stop them? That wasn’t your conscience.
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

I sorta think the fact that they pivoted from NFTs to AI without even pausing is part of why more people aren’t buying “AI is the future.”

“Okay, the thing we just spent 2 years telling you was the future turned out to be nothing at best and a scam at worst, but this time we have a real one!”

I’m gonna be seeing a whole bunch of family this evening (yesterday was Friendsgiving, today is family).

So one thing I’m thankful for is that somehow, none of them are trumpers. Even the ones who were hardcore Bush republicans are basically resistance libs now.

I know why they didn't do it, but that headline would absolutely CRUSH if they'd deployed an adverbial f-bomb immediately prior to the word "obvious."
What a great headline

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

Well, I started drawing as a preschooler, too. I just drew different things. Drawing comics specifically was a new thing, but, like, I drew this in an after school art class when I was 11.

Actually, it’s kind of diabolical the way they’ve defined “hoarding” as NOT acquiring new things.
If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

In college, I decided to start making comics. I wasn’t good at it, at first, but I had something to say, and people responded to that.

I also picked up a guitar for the first time. I wasn’t good at it, at first, but I kept playing and trying to write songs, and eventually people stopped wincing.
I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

I always worry that as I get older, my rougher edges have been sanded off, and as I get better, I lose some of what was unique about what I do.

Like how so many musical artists whose early work I love eventually start writing boring songs about how much they love their kids.

That’s about how it goes (although my nieces and nephews have only ever known me as Aunt Dana)
My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy?
Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy
Nephew: How???
Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine
Nephew: …
Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor
