There’s no such thing as being an AI “artist.” You’re not creating anything just typing in words and letting a robot generate an image by stealing from actual artists, asshole. Welcome to my TED talk.

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

Disney plus more like minus Disney
*a crescendo of strings. sunlight, breaking through dark clouds swollen by rain, illuminates my proud visage. the masses cheer; they weep and become inconsolable. “Enthrone him!” they cry in one great, thundering voice. I am enthroned*

Having The Daily Public or ArtVoice back (the version that didn't suck) would be amazing ngl
I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.
I wrote a bit about the misguided effort by Democrats to replicate Joe Rogan the right-wing podcast ecosystem.

Still in severe poverty without the ability to work again and still without a car. I’m severely depressed and lonely all the time “stuck” as the world crumbles around me. I’m turning 38 on September 11th, and the only thing I’m looking forward to is a “boys night out” the next day. I hate all this.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

I made it all the way to Shalour City and defeated Korrina in Pokémon Y without realizing that I already had the HMs for Cut and Strength. Now I get to backtrack and get everything I’ve missed because I didn’t think I had them.

It's hard to overstate the downstream negative effects of the Citizens United decision. It helped usher in this new era of flagrant public corruption that was previously unseen since the late 19th / early 20th century.
FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1M to Trump's super PAC in April.
What happened next?
Three weeks later Trump pardoned her son, a nursing home executive who pleaded guilty to withholding millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).
Everything is for sale.

seems like people don't want to hear this, but there's a minority group that the democrats absolutely must abandon if they want to beat the gop. they are inherently dangerous and depraved people, pushing a radical agenda that goes against most americans values. i am of course talking about the rich,
