The problem with trying to do budget negotiations with this tinpot regime is that it’s like the King Solomon and the baby story. One side wants to preserve the baby (democracy, a functional government) and one doesn’t give a shit if it gets carved up as long as they win

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

I mean, tism rizz is timeless.

But we also have different diagnostic criteria now too, when they first discovered it it was though to be a type of schizophrenia (which the diagnosis and understanding has also changed)- so we are still learning a lot 🥰

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

Aliette de Bodard @aliettedebodard.com · 4d

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

Here's some skeleton friends what I've drawn over the recent years

A digital painting of a stately skeleton posing in his dark office. He is wearing a red cloak, grasping it in his shrivelled hand, while his other hand rests on the dark granite slab that forms part of his bony desk. A chandellier made of bones hangs in the background, emitting an eerie green glow. A little clear gem orbit's the skeleton's head. There are notches running down the femur and humerus bones, and silver etchings have been carved into the skull.

A digital painting of a blond knight in dark armour with pointy boots and spiked elbows. She is swinging her sword with a look of fierceness upon her face, her plaited hair sustained on the wind. Her foe, a sword-wielding skeleton, is slashed in twine, pieces flying everywhere. In the far background, an old castle is visible.

A digital painting of the character Vampirella, lying on her stomach with her legs crossed in the air behind her, propped up on her elbows and resting her chin on her interlocked fingers. The colours are warm and orange, with a curious green light coming from the side. There is a red-winged bat perched on Vampirella's head, spreading its wings, and a grinning skull on the ground between Vampirella's elbows. Vampirella appears to be naked.

from a purely economic standpoint, thats a 46% return on investment. literally wasting money by not doing it!!!

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Oh my bad, I didn't see that ❤️❤️ I emailed them anyway for clarification cos it really doesn't say much- like yea obvs no purchases etc but the rest? Unclear lol

Unsure on if you already own it and are just playing privately. I can't see an issue with it cos you already made the purchase but I spose it could be argued that active player count can benefit them

Idk, I emailed them for clarification 🤷🏼‍♀️

They don't have to directly make money from it, streaming it still shows the content to an audience and some would argue that's promoting/endorsing Microsoft products
