For so long nazis pretended to have refined taste to compensate for their lack of talent.

They don't want either now that they have machines that can leech real talent and turn it into shit for them to consume.

The effortless shift in discourse from people insisting that anything that isn't a white statue of a dead roman dude isn't art like 3 years ago to demanding that they be treated as visionary artists for typing" x-men mystique big boobs she's my girlfriend" into a prompt window

The biggest technological revolution of our lifetime is underway and it's not AI:
Official data is in this week, and US solar continues to grow rapidly, with generation up 30% compared to last year!

Honest to God I think your average novice voice actor on Twitter or Bluesky could do an infinitely better fandub of this from home.

…Hell, why don’t you? Call it the “Banana Fish Challenge”. Dub a scene from the show in English and show the suits at Amazon how shit they are.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

With 6 HOURS LEFT in the ⭐50% OFF⭐ sale, I'd like to remind folks that we are confirmed Private Equity Collateral Damage & will be taking a hit on payouts from our distro, Ingram.

ICC will be absorbing the loss, NOT billing artists, so we would appreciate your patronage today!

Also, if the BBC is right about the timeline of Lakanwal's life, then the CIA used him as a child soldier.

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.

The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.
It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

Socialism will win.
🚨NEW: A new poll Americans’ support for Medicare For All has intensified to the point where the old attacks may no longer work.

As both parties legislate criticism of socialism, there has been a 50-point shift on a key question in just 6 years.

This is YUGE.

I really hope the anime voice actors who remorselessly scabbed during the strike see this and have a real Ebenezer Scrooge ass moment
Hey just so you know Amazon decided to give us an AI ENGLISH DUB of Banana Fish instead of actually hiring real voice actors

One way or another, the Democratic Party of 2029 is going to be pretty different from the Democratic Party of 2025
One thing that I would like to note, we're looking at a lot of churn in the democratic senate caucus this cycle (no less than 10% churn)
