Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

“Why are men afraid of women?”
“If your strength is only the other's weakness, you live in fear,” Ged said.
“Yes; but women seem to fear their own strength, to be afraid of themselves.”
“Are they ever taught to trust themselves?” Ged asked
“No,” she said.

As my own country continues its persecution of non-whites & the sovereign members of America's First Nations, it's good to remember there's so much more to life and the world than what Empire has forced upon it.

hey idiot your imaginary centrist friend who tells you what to do isn't a real person you do realize that right
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

this is how it’s going to have to be, and how major movements have always been
Citizens are in the driver's seat now imho. It's cool if some politicians are quicker on the uptake than others but they are following us now, I'm not waiting for them anymore

Jon Bois is a genius. I'm no longer qualifying that with "his style is not for everyone". The man just made me cry at Richard Karn selling a garden hose. My hair greyed & my asshole puckered over a piece of cable. I think he's rly one of our great documentary guys

"transgender ideology" doesn't turn kids transgender. Enya asking us "who can say where the road goes? where the day flows? only time/ and who can say if your love grows, as your heart chose? only time" turns kids transgender. know the difference
"transgender ideology" doesn't turn kids transgender. The unicorn in human form crying out "I can feel this body dying all around me!" in the Rankin-Bass animated adaptation of THE LAST UNICORN turns kids transgender. know the difference.
